The Antarctic Centre and Penguins

I went to the International Antarctic Centre. When I got there I went to an area named Scott Base. You could see what it was like living in Antarctica. Bubbles would fall from the ceiling to represent snow. Then I went on the Hagglund Ride that turned out to be a ride with huge hills that you went up slowly and extremely fast down. A Hagglund Snowcat is a machine that moves you around Antarctica. Then I went to an area that had many activities like a room with toys and penguin stuffed animals. Then I went to a 4D theater that sprayed you with water and bubbles to represent bird poop and snow. I also saw Little Blue Penguins being fed fish. Another time I saw penguins in the wild. Little Blue Penguins are the smallest penguins on earth. I had a great time.

  3. How big are the little blue penguins? If they are the smallest, what are the largest? How small are the smallest, and how large are the largest? Can you compare the two? Is the largest twice as big as the smallest? Or three or four times as big?? I love penguins?
