Penguins: A Love Story 3D Arrives at Moody Gardens' MG3D Theater on March 7, 2026.

Penguins may be best known for their icy Antarctic home, but a new 3D film at Moody Gardens proves these beloved birds thrive in far more diverse places than most people realize.

Opening March 7, 2026, in the MG 3D Theater, Penguins: A Love Story takes audiences on an unforgettable journey to meet penguin families living along the sunny beaches of Africa and the rugged coastlines of Australia. This visually stunning documentary introduces viewers to two remarkable penguin chicks as they grow from hatchlings into adults, navigating the challenges of survival, finding partners, and starting families of their own.

The film follows African penguins, often called Jackass penguins, in the lively colony at Boulder Beach in South Africa, as well as the world’s smallest penguin species living “down under” in Australia. Along the way, guests will see plenty of waddling, hopping, and belly flopping, paired with inspiring stories of dedicated conservationists and even a few four-legged helpers working behind the scenes to protect these vulnerable animals.

While heartwarming and entertaining, Penguins: A Love Story also delivers meaningful educational value. The film explores biology, geology, and environmental science, helping audiences of all ages better understand penguin habitats, conservation efforts, and the importance of caring for our planet.

To further extend the learning experience, the film is accompanied by a K through 6 educators guides. This resource includes five classroom lessons and three bonus at-home activities, all aligned with Next Generation Science Standards and designed to encourage hands-on, experiential learning for students and families.

Penguins: A Love Story will run from March 7 through May 22, 2026, and can be enjoyed as part of a full day at Moody Gardens. Guests can pair the film with visits to the Aquarium Pyramid, Rainforest Pyramid, Discovery Pyramid, and more for a day filled with exploration and discovery.

The film opens March 7 at the MG 3D Theater. For showtimes and additional details, visit moodygardens.org or call 409-744-4673

The Aquarium Pyramid allows visitors to explore life beneath the surface, from polar regions to tropical seas, offering real world context to the conservation stories highlighted in the film. Families can take what they learned about penguin habitats, survival, and environmental stewardship and see how those ideas connect to ocean ecosystems and wildlife conservation efforts featured throughout the Aquarium.

Pairing the film with time in the Aquarium Pyramid, along with visits to the Rainforest Pyramid and Discovery Pyramid, creates a full day itinerary that blends entertainment, education, and exploration.
