Snorkel's Birthday At Huntsman Marine Science Center

The Huntsman Marine Science Centre is holding a celebration at the aquarium for the star attraction, Snorkel.
The fun starts at 11 a.m., when Snorkel will hopefully blow out a candle, Snorkel will do some of his tricks at the seal feeding, and then there’ll be cake, games, and more fun, for humans. Last year’s party was a lot of fun for all concerned, and Snorkel even received some gifts.

Snorkel, and his dad, Loki, have been big hits since their introduction to the aquarium in May, 2009. Loki was born at the Huntsman in 1996, and Snorkel was born at Storybook Gardens in London, Ontario.

The Huntsman aquarium has lowered admission prices in 2010 as construction continues on the new discovery centre, set to open in June, 2011.
