Explore Penguin Shores, and observe the large group of Humboldt penguins as they dive, swim, feed and interact with other penguins.
The Meddelin Monkey exhibit is a must-see! A group of Colombian black spider monkeysare very social and will often be climbing by the walkways or chilling out in their enclosure!
