The Penguin parade was way too overcrowded. Thousands there and they would stand and block your view whenever a penguin made it to shore. Stayed longer and eventually got a better position and our children got close to some penguins. Don't try to buy food there. I stood in line for 20 minutes to get popcorn only to have the machine need to be re-started. I was told very rudely that I couldn't pay and wait 5 minutes for the popcorn but would have to go to the end of the line and try again. After paying over $70 just to get in, that was very poor service and just not good enough. I couldn't even get to talk to a manager because they didn't know who to ask. Great penguins. but very poor service.

Acess to the actual parade requires tickets which it is best to PRE-BOOK online.

Its gets regardless of how the day was and in summer don’t expect the penguins to be out before atleast 8:45
