Two people at a time join an aquarium bird keeper with the northern rockhopper penguins, which is about as close as this gets anywhere in the city. The interaction itself runs about half an hour and the whole thing, signing in to saying goodbye, takes about seventy five minutes. The booking includes aquarium entry for the rest of the day. It runs Tuesday to Sunday at half past eight in the morning and has to be booked and paid at least forty eight hours ahead. The aquarium closes bookings when the birds are moulting, nesting or being checked over.
