Came here to recommend this too. It's called the National Aviary. You can pay for a penguin encounter if your kid is old enough. Pittsburgh also has a great children's museum in case you do those? More interactive than regular museums.

I think Shedd Aquarium in Chicago also has penguin encounters. It's close to Maggie Daley Park, which is amazing for kids.[/quote]

The National Aviary is awesome - we had a really, really good time the two times we've gone.  It's small, though - so it's a stretch to spend an entire day there.  Pittsburgh has other fun activities, so you can come up with other things to do.

The Baltimore Zoo has penguins, and there's an add on you can buy for an up close experience.  Totally worth it, highly recommend.

The Tampa Aquarium also has penguins.  It's been a while since we went there, but I also think there are some interactive epxeriences.  If you want to spend an entire week + in one location, I think I might recommend Tampa over others - plenty of different sorts of beaches you can go to, Busch Gardens is there.  You could even drive to legoland or if you were really ambitious do Disney, or just part - my family LOVES Animal Kingdom at Disney.  But just in the Tampa area if you like the beach you can have fun.  It'll be hot as heck, and likely some afternoon rainstorms, but still, it's a fun vacation.  [/quote]
