Copied and pasted from the aquarium's 2020 Strategic Plan:
Penguins are among the most popular species with guests. Mystic Aquarium has tremendous opportunity to significantly impact the quality of our exhibits by increasing our penguin collection with additional species, increasing penguin interactions with the public, and refurbishing or replacing the current antiquated penguin facility.
It should be underscored that the current facility is extremely meager from both a guest experience perspective (poor viewing and access) and from an animal care perspective. Its configuration is costly to run and its life support systems are antiquated.
