Zoo Penguin Island reviews
14They were so fun to watch. Neat to hear the sounds they made and fun to watch them jump in and swim around.
The design concept works well, allowing the penguins to go about their business while providing good sight lines for prolonged and casual observation.
Due to covid and avian flu, lots of the animals were not out due to the priority of their safety. Bears were also out for hibernation. So choose time of year wisely. Also at this time it is not recommended to spend a extra 5.00 on a key, alot of the boxes didn't work. We did get to explore and get to know the park with our daughter on birthday so that made it worth it.
Penguins are very close, easy to see for children. The feeding time is an additional bonus.
Absolutely adorable. We got there at feeding time (approx. 3PM) and all the little penguins were lining up to get their fishies.
Very nice place unfortuately some exhibits were closed. I suggest going early to see feeding.
Gotta love those penguins! Get there around 10: 30, and you can watch them getting breakfast.
I loved how they were free to roam. People were respectful, but there weren't many to actually know. I saw a kid plastic toy in the water. Hope they take it out soon.
Penguin island was awesome! They have done a really good job with penguin island and many other
Zoo has many numerous wonderful animals to check out in person. Just wished the lions area was open to view. And bear area wating for open. But We all still enjoyed the SF zoo. Specially the kids. Do make sure have enough time. Such a large area. You wouldn't want to have to rush, Viewing the whole park. Loved seeing the 2 female and male peacocks roaming freely around the zoo.
You can see the workers feed penguins whole fish! The penguins are really cute and they swim and waddle everywhere. They also make lots of noise.
Great way to see the penguins. They were very active waddling around and floating in their moat.
It was great seeing them swimming and enjoying the clean water while others enjoyed the sun on their island.
Was so nice to take a break in our busy day and sit on a bench watching these adorable penguins. Looked like they were having fun
