huge walk-through displaycharity fundraisercontinuation of Paulie's Penguin Playgroundresidential
This walk-through display continues the charitable tradition of Paulie's Penguin Playground, which ran in Olathe for 20 years before ending in 2022. After an HOA blocked the 2023 revival, the 2024 show found a new home, raising matched donations for a child battling Hodgkin's lymphoma with proceeds benefiting the Salvation Army.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Olathe is around 4:58 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:28 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 23°F, so dress for standing around outside.
