Opening Spring 2026
We've broken ground on the new African Experience - a state-of-the-art outdoor habitat for African penguins, complete with naturalistic landscapes, underwater viewing and interactive educational displays.
Located at Franklin Park Zoo’s main entrance, the exhibit will feature two integrated habitats: the new African Penguin Coast and an expanded African Savanna, home to ostriches, zebras, and more.
