Penguin Coast

Modeled upon the theme of an abandoned guano mining settlement near the Namibian Skeleton Coast, Penguin Coast houses a large collection of African Penguins along with White-Breasted Cormorants. The design of the overall exhibit provides a rare viewing experience that incorporates various habitat and landscape conditions, designated feeding demonstration areas, and a small amphitheater for educational presentations by the education staff. Underwater and above water viewing is supplemented with dynamic water features such as wave crash and tidal action as well as strong channel currents that allow for natural penguin activity and an exciting guest experience. Additional fee based animal-visitor “beak-to-cheek” interaction is available through special Penguin Encounter tours which provide guided keeper experiences and special photo opportunities.
