The exhibit is home to twenty Magellanic Penguins and includes a crawl-in space, allowing you to feel as if you are in the exhibit with the animals.

Exhibit panels and interactive touch screens provide information about penguins and issues that are affecting their survival in the wild. The exhibit features a rocky area and beach that resembles the penguins’ natural habitat, a pool for swimming, and nesting areas. Life-sized models of penguins representing other species are also on display in the exhibit area.
