Get Closer with the Penguin Passport

The Penguin Passport is your ticket to a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium's sub-Antarctic penguin colony.
 
Suited up in your sub-Antarctic snow gear, the exclusive 75 minute tour takes you onto an icy wonderland where majestic King and cheeky Gentoo penguins waddle, hop, slip and slide along the ice right in front of you. Here you'll observe enrichment activities with the birds and have plenty of opportunities for photos along the way. 
 
Participants will also have the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes to see the penguin food preparation area as well as how this state-of-the-art exhibit maintains its chilly temperatures.
