Give The Gift of Penguins!
Penguin Encounters
Give someone you love an unforgettable experience when they go behind the scenes and into our Penguin House to meet our African penguins up close.
You are invited inside The Penguin House, the backstage home of our African penguins.
During this exclusive 20-minute encounter, you will talk with one of our Animal Experience Specialists who handle these adorable birds. Watch up close as the penguins waddle, wiggle and shake their tails.
You get to take pictures of the penguins, and maybe even touch one! These penguins are from a temperate environment, so no coats are needed.
All ages are welcome on this tour, but children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. This experience is recommended for children ages 4 and older. All participants must buy a ticket except for infant in arms.
