Find out how much natural waste the penguins produce and the challenges we face to manage it, keeping the pool clean for the penguins and clear for viewing! You’ll also get to see the penguins splashing about in their watery world and have your penguin questions answered by one of our staff. Included in this program is instructions on how you can do a waste audit in your school or class to compare to the zoo.
