Three new adolescent Magellanic penguins will waddle through the Zoo to their new home on Penguin Island as part of the our annual Members Only "March of the Penguins." This adorable, popular event where you can get up close to waddling baby penguins is a special benefit for our Members. PLUS, you can enter to win a chance to name one of our penguin chicks!

Born early this year, the young chicks have been attending "fish school" at our behind-the-scenes Avian Conservation Center. The chicks are ready to graduate and will make their journey to Penguin Island to join the largest and most successful colony of Magellanic penguins in a zoo or aquarium environment. These three youngsters bring our total Magellanic penguin colony to 44 birds.
