Penguins on Parade

Waddling back into weather-permitting weekends this winter, enjoy our Pittsburgh Zoo penguins taking a walk outside the Aquarium. Fun for everyone!

Penguins on Parade is dependent on many conditions and may be canceled for the safety of our resident birds. Please check back regularly to see if Penguins on Parade will be available on your weekend of interest.

The penguins will start their parade at the upper entrance of the Aquarium at 11:30 a.m. sharp and typically spend about 20 minutes exploring outside. Guests will line the pathway along the Aquarium and the penguins will parade past. This event is popular, parade viewing is not guaranteed.

The Penguins on Parade viewing experience is included free with admission for all guests.
