The NEW Zoological Society and the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park welcome you to waddle on in
for the Party for the Penguins on Friday, July 18th from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Proceeds
from this event will support conservation, with funds raised supporting African penguins through
SAFE: Saving Animals from Extinction. This event is free with regular zoo admission.

During our Party for the Penguins event, guests can enjoy a variety of fun activities, including
kids’ games and crafts, penguin encounters, a Penguin Discovery Station, free carousel rides
(weather dependent) sponsored by the NEW Zoological Society, and more. Stop by the
Penguin Merchandise Sales Tables to browse a selection of penguin crafts and gifts,
including paintings made by our very own penguins! An African Penguin Chat will take place at
10:00 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. at the penguin habitat, and – new this year! – tickets for
feeding the penguins will be available for purchase throughout the day (while supplies last!) at
the Merchandise Sales Table. Purchasers will get to go inside of the penguin habitat to toss
some fish to our hungry flock!

African penguins are an endangered species whose population has declined by 97% since the
turn of the 20th century. Penguins are vulnerable to pollution of their ocean habitat, and to
human interference related to guano and egg collection, overfishing, and loss of their nesting
sites to human developments.
