What you wish you knew before you experienced it
Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin mimics the conditions of Antarctica as closely as possible. That means that the building will be cold – very cold – and that the building will likely be dark, as the sun rises and sets differently since the tilt of the earth’s axis keeps the sun below the horizon for months at a time, making permanent human habitation impossible.
How scary was Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin?
We rate Empire of the Penguin zero out of five icicles. It’s peaceful, quiet, and calming. You can take the whole family through the attraction without any qualms.
What was Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin’s opening date?
May 24, 2013
