Quick Details
Want to see just what it takes to keep the stars of our show healthy and happy? We’ve got the exclusive tour just for you! This popular tour programme gives you the chance to see up close all the fascinating work done ‘backstage’ in our penguin habitat and penguin welfare centre.
Limited to just 8 visitors per tour, the exclusive pass takes you into the areas not accessible to other visitors. It is hosted by one of our Antarctic Guides – they’ll share their experience and expertise taking you through the daily routines and long-term goals of our penguin habitat and programme. You’ll see how our quarantine area works, learn about penguin feeding and husbandry and take your penguin knowledge to the next level!
Please note:
Not suitable for people sensitive to strong smells.
There is no touching or feeding of our penguins on this tour.
