Perth Zoo’s Little Penguin exhibit forms part of the Australian Walkabout and includes a 50,000 litre saltwater pool, limestone reefs and beach areas with coastal vegetation (perthzoo.wa.gov.au). The exhibit information identifies the zoo as the operator of the penguin display, so visitors should treat the zoo grounds as the relevant destination rather than Penguin Island Conservation Park.
