Ripley's Aquarium: Pancakes & Penguins

Let Norman the Penguin start your day with our Pancakes & Penguins breakfast!

Start your day with Ripley's penguin colony and enjoy the Aquarium before it opens to the public, eat a delicious hot breakfast, meet Norman, and even come face-to-beak with African penguins! Bring home your complimentary photo, plus a special penguin craft. The purchase of your ticket supports our efforts with the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB), internationally recognized for its conservation and rehabilitation efforts.

A gentle reminder that our penguin stars are for viewing only. To ensure they are happy and healthy, we kindly request that you refrain from touching the penguins and respect their personal space. The comfort and safety of our animals and guests are always our top priority. Our staff will be on hand to ensure a safe and enjoyable viewing experience for all attendees. Thank you for understanding!
