The effect of this habitat is amazing, the temperature is lowered, sounds of wind constantly enhance the ambiance, and the lighting is kept at a constant twilight. These factors give a great idea of the habitat the Penguins live in. Also, of course, there are many penguins and several informative signs rounding out the experience. - Jack Borgeson

A large habitat featuring a good variety of penguins. The option to move through quickly on the moving walkway or to linger by taking the standard path is definitely appreciated. Only basic information is presented on each species, so a little more depth would be nice. - David Eggert
