Celebrate 10 years of Penguin Beach Encounter!

We are hosting an exciting event for all the family to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Penguin Beach on Friday 8th August 2025 

We are throwing our penguin pals a party on Penguin Beach and will welcome a special guest to be part of the celebrations 

Everyone’s favourite character Bluey will be at Penguin Beach to join in the fun! Meet Bluey in the Penguin play area every hour from 11 am to 3 pm* on Friday 8th August 

On the beach, there will be bubble enrichment sessions for our penguins who love to shake a flipper to our fun bubble machine

Our lovely penguin keepers will give insightful talks throughout the day covering the history of the enclosure 

Learn about the critical conservation work we do with our partners to protect penguins all over the world 

Visitors are also in with a unique chance to WIN a penguin feed experience! 

Explore the rest of the Oceanarium and meet more than 185 creatures in our 10 enclosures   

The price of your day ticket includes admission to this event. Buy tickets at least 24 hours ahead and SAVE! 

We look forward to welcoming you down to Penguin Beach soon!

*Please note that our Bluey meet and greet sessions from 10.30am -1.30pm will be held for 40 minutes each. The final 2.30pm session will be 30 minutes. We anticipate these meet and greet sessions will be extremely popular so please bear this in mind to ensure the queue moves as swiftly as possible. To ensure Bluey has plenty rest in between session times, we will advise 5 minutes before the end of each session that Bluey is soon to take a break to avoid disappointment. Bluey’s meet and greet sessions will be held in the Penguin play area.
