Did you know?
A family affair
Our penguins are a family. We have mums, sisters and brothers who all live at Harewood.
Do they have names?
Yes! There's Geoff, Otto, Mr Otto, Mini, Spot, Beaky, Charlie and Olga.
Come along to see our colony of playful Humboldt penguins.
Originally from South America, these penguins make their home on sandy beaches and rocky coastlines and live for up to 25 years.
Our penguins all have very unique personalities, so pick a spot beside the pool to see them waddle, dive and fly through the water for their dinner!
You can enjoy our talks everyday and there is even the opportunity to get up close and feed these wonderful creatures
