      I've read reports declaring this exhibit to be one of the best in Europe for viewing penguins and this tunnel certainly looks very impressive.

      @snowleopard It is impressive, certainly, but like any tunnel-based exhibit, it suffers when there is a crowd of any size (especially with pushchairs and paraphernalia). The nearby open-air exhibit, for African (or possibly Humboldt) penguins is, in some ways, equally attractive - and doesn't suffer in this way. Best penguin exhibit in Europe? Certainly one of - but not the (in my opinion). It's one area where the UK can hold its head high amongst European zoos: Edinburgh, London, Bristol, possibly Chester after its refurbishment - all are very good. In mainland Europe, Berlin is excellent, Wroclaw's exhibit (as part of the Afrykarium) is superb, the old Emmen was wonderful (not seen the new one).

      This also benefits from how insanely fast the Gentoo are.
