Santa Barbara Zoo

The Crawford Family Penguin House

Opened in June 2006, the former California sea lion exhibit is now home to 14 Humboldt penguins and will later house Inca terns. The penguin exhibit offers both above-ground and underwater viewing, as well as nesting boxes built in for future breeding possibilities. The adjacent aviary will feature Inca terns, and will be home to more birds native to the South American area. Humboldts are found along the Pacific coast of South America from Peru to Chile.
