Penguin
Encounter
Meet, Feed & Learn About Critically Endangered African Penguins · ~60 Minutes
Waddle into an unforgettable adventure. Join us for an intimate African Penguin Encounter at Chase Sanctuary, where you'll have the opportunity to get up close with these incredible birds while learning about their personalities, behaviors, and the conservation challenges they face in the wild.
African Penguins are naturally curious, playful, and always on the move. You never know what they may do next — one might waddle right over to investigate your shoes, pose for a photo, or decide your lap is the perfect place to take a break.
