Penguin Awareness Weekend

Event Details

A special weekend at the zoo filled with special meet-and-greets, face painting, family activities and draws for unique penguin prizes. Visit the African Penguin Exhibit (11 am–3 pm) stop by for a special keeper talk at 12:30 pm, or at 1:00 pm for a penguin encounter.

African penguins are currently listed as an endangered species and it is projected that they could be extinct in the next 10 to 15 years. The wild population has dropped 95% in the last 100 years. At Penguin Awareness Weekend, learn how you can help penguins in the wild. All of this weekend’s proceeds will be donated to the South African non-profit SANCCOB and their amazing efforts in seabird rehabilitation and reintroduction.

Zoo admission and parking fees apply.
