Visit the heart of Antarctica just a few metres from the beach!
Don't freeze and miss out on this unique opportunity to meet our adorable penguins!
An activity suitable for the whole family, where even the youngest members of the family will be allowed to enter this huge igloo!
During the activity you will enter the habitat of these incredible birds, accompanied by one of our zookeepers who will explain everything you need to know about the penguins that live on the Ice Island: what they eat, how old they can grow up to be, how they reproduce... very interesting talks focused on what we can do to take care and preserve the environment, our planet and all the species that inhabit it.
You will also learn the main characteristics and how to distinguish the 4 types of penguins that live in Selwo Marina Magallanes, Juanito, Macaroni y el pingüino Rey.
Ice Island
Did you know that Ice Island is the first and only ice penguin enclosure in Andalusia? Opened in 2002, it is a covered, themed, and climate-controlled facility that faithfully reproduces the natural habitat of penguins, birds adapted to aquatic life that also spend much of their lives on land.
Replicating the icy cliffs of the southernmost lands on the planet, it consists of a rocky peninsula covered with snow and ice and surrounded by salt water, in a glass-enclosed facility with underwater and terrestrial views. Throughout the year, the lighting and temperature cycle is regulated to resemble the seasons at the South Pole.
As you watch them move in and out of the water, you will also learn about the four species of penguins we host through educational panels about our species, the threats to their native habitat, our conservation work, and how we care for them every day through environmental enrichment activities to maintain and stimulate their natural feeding, social, occupational, and sensory behaviors.
