๐ŸงPenguin House at Taipei Zoo: King Penguins, Chicks & Visitor Tips

❄️ Cool Off with the Cutest Birds in Town

Step Into an Antarctic Wonderland

The Penguin House at Taipei Zoo is the ultimate cool-down stop—literally and figuratively. Step into a carefully climate-controlled habitat where icy landscapes, crisp air, and crystal-clear pools recreate the natural world of Earth’s most charming birds.

๐ŸงŠ From the moment you enter, it feels like you’ve crossed hemispheres—no snow boots required.


๐Ÿง Meet the Royal Residents

๐Ÿ‘‘ King Penguins

Tall, regal, and surprisingly graceful. Watch them glide underwater like torpedoes or waddle confidently in slow-motion parades that feel oddly majestic.

๐ŸŽฉ Humboldt Penguins

Smaller, faster, and full of personality. These penguins are incredibly active and often swim right up to the glass—don’t be surprised if one stares back at you.

๐Ÿฃ Penguin Chicks (Seasonal!)

Depending on the time of year, you might spot fuzzy gray chicks huddled close to their parents. A rare sight—and an instant heart-melter.

๐ŸŒŠ Aquarium-style viewing windows allow you to watch penguins underwater, turning every swim into a graceful Arctic ballet.
