Thank you for being my favorite cephlopods and for always lazily sleeping near the glass in your tank for me to check out. I love visiting you!

We are worried about you. You always seem alone and misunderstood. I’m not sure why you stay outside or hover in front of the nest near you. I think you and your girlfriend need a nest. If you want the one nest one then maybe you both have to just move in.

Stanlee, the penguin
After a long year, a failed wedding, covid and problems, I start to giving up. Thank you for exist with all the rest of the penguin family. I see you and the rest of the animals at your instagram - every morning - .

Dear Butterflies.
Thank you for letting me play in your rainforest world. Thank you for landing on my nose and making me giggle. I love the way you fly real high into the dome, and then really low near the pond. I can't wait to see you soon!
Love, Sebastian H.

Dear sea nettles
I missed seeing you last year! I'm so happy to be back at the Academy watching you float around in your blue tank. Your colors are so pretty!

Dear Academy,
I've been coming to the Academy with my family since before I could walk! I love the penny squisher machines, checking out the "Dory" fish in the tanks, visiting the honeycomb ray, and playing in the gardens. While you were closed, I missed seeing Claude and the penguins. I'm so glad to be back at my favorite museum! Here I am with my Aunty, Grandpa and Grandma.
Love, Kai Hiller (Age 5)

Dear Penguins,
We miss seeing you at the Academy and following you while you swim and dive and play in your tank, going to and fro. In fact, you helped us learn to walk this way. We are bigger now but we hope to exchange new tricks with you soon!
Much love, The Breinlingers

We miss you and your swamp! And we can't wait to get back to the Academy soon.
