Penguin Coast

Penguin Coast houses one of the largest Humboldt penguin colonies in the northeastern United States. The climate-controlled exhibit features rocky shoreline terrain, a large swimming pool, and nesting areas that replicate the penguins' native South American coastal habitat.

Humboldt penguins are classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss, overfishing of their prey species, and climate change affecting the cold Humboldt Current along the coasts of Peru and Chile.
