Perfect Gift for Family Visiting from Overseas
I gifted this experience to my grandparents who were visiting from overseas, and they absolutely loved it! The Antarctic storm room, Hägglund ride, and little blue penguins were highlights for them. Fun, educational, and beautifully run. Highly recommend for all ages!

fun and unique experience!
It's got a bit of everything - animals, fun rides, exhibitions and experiences. Make sure you don't miss the Hägglund ride! It is so much fun!! Be sure to go to the snowstorms as well. Staff members were nice and helpful. Look out for discounted ticket as well! Recommended.

Penguin center
Very well put together, clean & great staff, but for the price was quite disappointed, couldn't see the penguins and that's what we mainly went for..
