On a beautiful seaside, for the first time with my husband and our gorgeous baby, we eagerly and excitedly waited for the sunset and for the adorable little penguins to come out of the ocean. It became one of our most unforgettable memories. Even though taking photos of the penguins was prohibited, the warm atmosphere among the many people, getting to know others while waiting to see the penguins, and spending time together as a family made it one of life’s truly priceless golden moments.

We had a very good experience at the Penguin Parade, it was the 3rd time i have been and the second for my husband and our son. To start with, we were shocked at how many people were lining up when we arrived, and didn't think we would get seats so we let our son enjoy the playroom area and bought some food, but once the doors opened the queues moved quickly and we were lucky enough to get side seats and were able to see the penguins clearly. It is a fantastic family outing.

The ambience was beautiful, sitting over the beach and being with nature. We loved the idea of not having the phones on. Gave me and my children a time away from the screens and just looking at the ocean. Loved watching the penguins waddling out of the water and making their way to their houses. Thanks for the wonderful experience!!
