Omaha Event: Omaha Zoo- Darling Penguins Introduced to Colony

Need a great escape from the cold? Visit the penguin chicks! It’s warmer in the aquarium than outside and of course-more fun!

It’s a great time to go because today Gentoo penguin chicks were introduced to the colony at the Scott Aquarium.
