Woodland Park Zoo's Humboldt penguin exhibit is getting an extreme makeover!
Read our press release about how the whole community is going wild for penguins! View a KING5 TV segment about how geothermal energy is being use for the new exhibit!
Adopt a Penguin!
Each adoption level provides a great set of fun benefits as well as the knowledge that you’re helping create a fun, educational new exhibit that will be enriching for the penguins and educational for zoo visitors.
Learn about penguins!
The new exhibit will present educational programs about the penguins' coastal desert habitats and their diversity of life to teach about how to help conserve endangered penguins’ natural habitats through everyday actions.

The Penguin Camera is located on Torgersen Island (64°46’S, 64°04’W), off the coast of Anvers Island and less than a mile from Palmer Station. Torgersen Island is home to a colony of Adélie penguins numbering approximately 2,500. This camera is seasonal and operates primarily from October to February, the Adélie breeding season. The camera is solar-powered and may sometimes experience brief outages due to inclement weather. School classrooms and other educational demonstrations will often take control of the camera, moving it to gain better views of the colony.
