Anyone can live in a house. The zoo penguins now have an entire neighborhood to themselves!
After several months of construction, the penguin house in the zoo has reopened. New name, old residents: King, Rockhopper and Humboldt penguins still live in the Penguin-Kiez.
With its snow machine, the house is ideal for lively tailcoat wearers and is one of the coldest places in the capital even in midsummer.

The previous exhibition in the penguin house was no longer up to date, says zoo spokeswoman Philine Hachmeister.

Now there are also stations you can touch, a hologram of a penguin and information boards in German and English. On benches you can watch the penguins diving under water.
Daily at 2 p.m. there is a commented feeding.
