Summer is here! Cool off with our new king penguins at the renovated exhibit, Polar Seabirds: Life on the Edge of the World. Join our zookeepers as they feed sea lions, penguins, and harbor seals during daily enrichment sessions. Say hello to our mini-Nubian goats and other barnyard creatures at the Tisch Children’s Zoo. We look forward to seeing you soon.
