Does Monterey Bay Aquarium have penguins?

The colony of African penguins in our Splash Zone exhibit is a must-see on any visit. These stout little birds are endlessly entertaining as they preen, feed, sleep, waddle and swim. There are several mated pairs and each of our penguins has a name — you can spot them by the identification bands on their wings!
