Year of opening: 1998
In 2015, the exhibit underwent a major renovation.
The environment faithfully recreates the rocky coasts of Peru and Chile, the natural habitat of the Humboldt penguin.
Two interconnected pools, a diverse terrain, a naturalistic design, and cavities in the stone cladding provide ideal conditions for the penguins.
These are the only Humboldt penguins in Central Europe that sometimes have the opportunity to swim in seawater sourced from the nearby Ray Bay.
