Penguin Encounter with Day Admission at South Lakes Safari Zoo

On arrival at South Lakes Safari Zoo, you’ll be warmly greeted by the keepers ready for your penguin encounter. First up, you’ll visit the animal kitchen to grab the penguin’s favourite snacks and prepare their morning vitamins. Then it’s off to the enclosure to get up close and personal with the waddle of Humboldt Penguins, exploring their beach where they eat, sleep and hangout.

Friendly keepers will be on hand sharing insider knowledge about the penguin’s likes, dislikes and quirks. You’ll even get the opportunity to hand-feed the penguins! Your experience also includes all-day entry to the zoo where you can see plenty more wonderful species.
