Penguin House
Upon entering this pavilion you will find yourself in the harsh world of the Chilean and Peruvian coasts – the home of the Humboldt’s penguin. Standing behind large glass panes, you can observe the way they live and move around both above and under the surface of the water– you can even watch them nesting in the winter, as we are one of the few European zoos to achieve regular success in breeding these penguins.

The outside pools are shared with cold-loving crested ducks.
Prague Zoo is intensely involved in the protection of animal species, whether they live under human care or in their natural habitats. Join us in helping them to survive!
