Penguin Experience

Watch the penguins up-close while they engage with enrichment that encourages them to express their natural instincts and behaviors. You’ll have a chance to see them swimming, exploring, and playing!

What kind of enrichment is the penguins favorite?

Lasers and bubbles easily are at the top of the list. They love things they can chase and can hide around their enclosure. They also are big fans of diving rings, rubber ducks, and jingle balls you might buy for your cats!

Penguin Conservation

African penguins are endangered, facing serious challenges from rising sea temperatures, overfishing, and oil spills. These pressures make it harder for penguins to find food and safely raise their young. Your donation helps support conservation efforts working to protect penguin habitats and populations. Together, we can make a difference for penguins everywhere!
