Amid the world competition occurring in Pyeongchang, South Korea, there also are medals to be won Feb. 17-19 during “Strive for the Gold Weekend” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.

The aquarium’s special offering for the three-day President’s Day Weekend, “Strive for the Gold” invites guests — especially children — to take part in bonus activities, some of which test their athleticism in comparison to those of aquatic animals. Can you hop farther than a frog? Can you leap as high as a seal?

Plus, grab a stick for the chance to shoot a puck past an “octopus” goalie.

All “Strive for the Gold Weekend” activities are free with aquarium admission. For full details, go online to the aquarium website.
