Minnesota Aquarium Creatures Getting Festive for St. Patrick’s Day

This weekend will be filled with St. Patrick’s Day fun leading up to St. Patrick’s Day on Monday. I’m sure there will be plenty of corned beef, cabbage, and green beer consumed over the next few days around Minnesota.

There’s one place in the Land of 10,000 Lakes that’s celebrating in a bit of an unconventional but very cute way.

In a press release, Sea Life says that some of their creatures got festive “in style with some tasty treats and fancy green accessories.”

A couple of red-footed tortoises enjoyed “a festive tray of lettuce and golden apple ‘medallions’” while wearing little green hats on their shells.

A bearded dragon friend dressed up in a green hat and bandana.

A skink and Pacman frog also got in the spirit in their own little hats.

And some Pacu fish got to enjoy a delicious shamrock-shaped treat made of green peas.

Isn’t that so cute?! If that doesn’t inspire you to get a little festive and at least wear green on Monday, I don’t know what will.
