Penguins at Saitama Children's Zoo

The Saitama Children's Animal Nature Park, known most commonly as Saitama Children's Zoo in English, is located in Higashimatsuyama Zoo. It is an excellent zoo that I have visited countless times over the years. Today, for World Penguin Day, I want to showcase the "Penguin Hills" area of the zoo in photos.

Most of the photos in this "gallery" post were taken on the same day, when we got particularly 'up close and personal' with the penguins. As you can see in the photo below, one of the penguins even got up on the stroller. I don't show photos of my children online, so I haven't shared the photos in this post, but on this day for the first and only time I was able to get photos of my children with the penguins. 

Have you ever had a similar experience where you were able to get right up beside a penguin?
