Find out moreMeet our colony of adorable Humboldt penguins...
Let them teach you how to waddle!
Get up close and personal to over 20 adorable Humboldt Penguins in their unique walk-through home, Penguin Island!
Penguin Island was Sea Life Europe's first immersive penguin walkthrough experience opening in 2015! Since then, we've welcomed thousands of visitors who have all had the chance to get up close and personal to the most comical creatures at the Centre. Make sure you have your camera handy - there will be plenty of selfie moments!
All of our penguins are named after cartoon characters - see if you can spot Dangermouse, Hazel, Barnacles and the rest of the waddle, as they splash out in their babbling waterfall and dive into the pool!
See how you measure up against the penguins around the world on the height chart! Are you short like a rock-hopper or larger than an emperor?
