PROVIDENCE – The new penguin exhibit at Roger Williams Park Zoo will open Memorial Day weekend, the zoo announced April 23.

Humboldt penguins are from the hot, arid coastal regions of Chile and Peru. They live in rocky coastal areas near nutrient-dense waters, eating fish, squid and crustaceans, the zoo says.

Roger Williams Park Zoo is introducing a new penguin exhibit featuring 12 Humboldt penguins, set to open on May 24, 2025.
