World Penguin Day at Birdland & Jurassic Journey
Saturday 25 April 2026
Birdland & Jurassic Journey invites visitors to enjoy a special World Penguin Day celebration on Saturday 25 April, shining a spotlight on its much-loved penguins and the important work taking place to help protect them.
Birdland & Jurassic Journey is the only place in England where visitors can see majestic King Penguins, making it a unique day out for wildlife lovers. Over at Penguin Shore, the colony of Humboldt penguins continues to thrive, with plenty to discover throughout the day.
It is also an exciting time for the colony, with three male Humboldt penguins – Nick, Gary and Flash – recently joining the group. Their names were chosen by the public in a Facebook vote, and they are settling in well.
The event comes during breeding season, with eggs expected to hatch in the coming weeks. Following a successful 2025, last year’s chicks, Del Boy, Rodney and Raquel, are all doing well and can be spotted at Penguin Shore, recognisable by their juvenile feathers.
Visitors can also enjoy daily penguin feeding sessions and talks, offering a chance to learn more about the colony and the species cared for at Birdland & Jurassic Journey.
Penguin feeding times:
11.00am – Penguin Breakfast
3.00pm – Main Feed
Visitors are encouraged to book tickets online in advance to save and enjoy a memorable day celebrating one of Birdland & Jurassic Journey’s most popular species.
