Are you ‘potty’ about penguins? Our new penguin experience brings you up close and personal with our colony of gentoo and rockhopper penguins. Feed them a ‘fish supper’ and quiz the keepers who care for these popular aquatic birds.
Walk on the wild side and make your day at Belfast Zoo even more memorable with this once in a lifetime experience.
