King penguins, the heraldic animals of the Wuppertal Zoo, are rarely kept in zoos and only here in North Rhine-Westphalia. The special highlight is a 15-meter-long acrylic glass tunnel under the water surface - unique for penguins worldwide! Admire the swimming and diving skills of the penguins from an unusual perspective. You can hear the calls of the gentoo penguins via microphones.

The elegant penguins are always great. In the glass tunnel you can see the somewhat clumsy swimmers on land shooting through the water like torpedoes.
