During the summer our penguin encounter is very dark. This helps simulate an Antarctic winter which is when penguins are known to breed.

"At the penguin encounter not only can you see penguins but also puffins. The penguins and puffins are so cute to watch. You are able to see them underwater as well on land. Underwater its almost like they are flying they are so fast and on land its so neat to watch them waddle their way across the snowy landscape. Choose to take the moving platform that is right up against the glass or go up to the observation area. I personally love the observation area. You can stand as long as you want to watch the cute little guys and it is easier to take pictures here. If you see an educator inside be sure to ask questions to learn more about these beautiful animals." -Christopher Schuck
