The King and Gentoo penguins are zooming, bouncing and flying around Kelly Tarlton’s putting their awesome skills on show these school holidays. Slide into Kelly Tarlton’s between July 3rd and 18th to check out the SUBZERO HEROES and see if you’ve got what it takes to join them!
Did you know penguins are the fastest birds underwater (reaching speeds of up to 36km an hour) and can slide along the ice at more than 20km an hour? Or that they can hold their breath for five minutes or longer while diving more than 200 meters? SUBZERO HEROES puts the spotlight on these and all the other awesome abilities the penguins at Kelly Tarlton’s (and those living in the wild) have mastered.
Visitors will be able to see the penguins out on the ice showing off their talents during daily enrichment activities (these activities are designed to ensure the physical, mental and emotional well being of the birds). They can also try their own hand at the different skills by embarking on the Penguin Trail where they can search out the SUBZERO HEROES (cartoon characters positioned around Kelly Tarlton’s) and complete a challenge that replicates each hero’s special talent. Kids four and over will receive a Penguin Trail guide when they enter Kelly Tarlton’s and those who complete all 10 challenges will become SUBZERO HEROES and receive a free pack of collector cards.
During the Snowcat Ride or while watching the penguins on the big screen in the Antarctic Room, kids can spot the real SUBZERO HEROES out on the ice in their everyday penguin disguises. Like all good super heroes they’re pretty good at keeping their secret identities quiet but we’ve given each hero a colour-coded band so kids can tell who’s who. Also, we’ve set up a new camera system in the Antarctic Room that lets kids zoom in on the penguins out on the ice to check their disguises up close.
Away from the ice there are loads of creative ways to keep kids entertained. They can learn how to draw penguins or make them using origami. There’s a colouring competition with cool penguin packs up for grabs. You can also chill out and watch the Happy Feet movie that will be playing all day.
Of course every SUBZERO HERO needs a super name – and Kelly Tarlton’s have a batch of new recruits (baby and adolescent King and Gentoo penguins born over the past year) who need a cool one. If your name is chosen for one of the birds then you’ll win a super-special behind the scenes tour of Kelly Tarlton’s penguin enclosure – including going out on the ice where you’ll get your picture taken with some of the SUBZERO HEROES!
