Two Oceans Aquarium – 18 September, 2024
At the Two Oceans Aquarium, we are proud to house two species of penguin: The iconic African penguin and the charismatic Northern rockhopper penguin. Visitors to the Aquarium may be familiar with the African penguin feeding times, but did you know that you can actually spend an entire day with our penguin colonies?
09h00
The Two Oceans Aquarium opens at 09h00 during the school holidays, so you’ll be bright and early for your penguin-full day! In our opinion, your first stop should be at the African penguin beach in our Penguin Exhibit. Typically, the African penguins spend their mornings having “bath time”. This involves much wiggling and splashing about as they preen their feathers, enjoy a chilly swim, stretch and flap their wings, and help their partners groom any hard-to-reach bits. This charming morning routine is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of African penguins – you can learn all about their personalities and partnerships just by watching!..
