“Great day ”
It was a great day at the park and the person this was gifted it loved it ! However make sure you take photos of the penguins up close before you feed them because they tend to stay in the water after , I wasn’t told this so I didn’t get any up close photos sadly. I ask wished I was able to pick which feeding time I wanted as 11:30 would’ve better as me and my partner were just waiting around the zoo until 4.
