The Penguin Walk returns for its 11th year on January 13. The king penguin colony will head out on zoo grounds for a daily enrichment walk to keep their brains and bodies healthy, and visitors get to enjoy the fun (weather dependent)!
The Walk begins at 10:30 a.m. sharp so we recommend arroving early to secure your viewing spot!
But as an added bonus for our valued members we will be sending out a sneak peak opportunity to view the waddle so be sure to watch the member newsletter for all the details! -
