Pavilion of Penguins

Must see


Upon entering this pavilion you will find yourself in the harsh world of the Chilean and Peruvian coasts – the home of the Humboldt’s penguin. Standing behind large glass panes, you can observe the way they live and move around both above and under the surface of the water– you can even watch them nesting in the winter, as we are one of the few European zoos to achieve regular success in breeding these penguins.
