Common questions
Good to know.
- Do I need to book the Penguin Parade tickets myself?
- Yes — book direct on penguins.org.au at least 48 hours ahead. Sunset slots sell out fast in school holidays.
- Can we leave earlier or later?
- Pickup is dictated by Penguin Parade time, which moves with sunset. We work backward from your ticket time and let you know.
