Penguin Plunge

Come and see Little Penguins ‘fly’ and dive underwater in Perth Zoo’s Penguin Plunge.

Bridled TernFilled with 50,000 litres of filtered salt water, the exhibit features underwater viewing, a beach, reef and rookery. The Little Penguins share their habitat with another marine bird species, the Bridled Tern. A range of coastal plants in and around the exhibit helps to create an authentic experience.

A special presentation on Little Penguins is held every day at the exhibit and gives visitors the chance to see these birds feed.

Visit the Penguin Plunge before you venture through the Australian Wetlands.
