Then we’ve got just the thing. A Humboldt penguin adoption!
To adopt a penguin just click buy now and choose if you’d like a bronze, silver or gold adoption. You can adopt for yourself or for someone special and we’ll also send a special gift message along with your cuddly penguin toy in your adoption pack.
Your penguin adoption will last for 12 months, and 10% of the profit will help raise money for our conservation partners including N.A.R.C. who carry out underwater dives off the coast of Pembrokeshire to remove rubbish and protect wildlife. So, you’ll feel good about this gift too.
Schools and group organisations can also sponsor a penguin. Please call the office on 01834 812731 to make arrangements.
Humboldt penguins get their name from the cold sea current that runs along the west coast of South America from Chile to Peru – and that was named after the explorer Alexander von Humboldt. These penguins make their home on sandy beaches and rocky coastlines and generally live for between 20 and 25 years.

“My 33 year old daughter is obsessed with penguins and I thought this would be an ideal xmas present. It arrived promptly and was lovely, she will love it.”
“Excellent product.”
“Great idea to be able to adopt an animal that you can then visit. However, I do feel it is a bit expensive for what you get.”
“Excellent service.”
“My granddaughter loves penguins and she is going to love the adoption pack.”
“Very good prompt service.”
“Good easy to use adoption package.”
“I purchased the penguin adoption pack for my 5 year old Granddaughter who just loves penguins and when she visits us we always spend a day at Folly Farm.”
“Item has still not arrived. [Please note: item ordered during the Christmas closed period so not posted until staff returned to the office which was detailed on the web pages.]”
“Brilliant exactly as described. The box that makes a little home that it came in made it feel really special. Looking forward to giving it as a gift on Christmas day.”
“My crocodile and penguin adoptions arrived today. They are fabulous, beautifully packaged, very cute animals just the right size. Topped off with a lovely certificate. Next year I will do the same again but they can choose their own animals to adopt. Very impressed. Also superfast delivery. Highly recommended.”
“Easy to complete and arrived within days. My grandchildren loved it. Very pleased.”
“I bought this gift for my penguin crazy sister! The joy she felt was amazing when she opened it.”
“Brought for my son’s birthday in August, arrived so quick and came in a lovely presentation box. My son loves penguins so this is going to be perfect for him, we can’t wait to see him open it on his birthday.”
“Bought in memory of my late grandaughter because her mummy and daddy like receiving Christmas and birthday presents for her so she is always loved. They loved the gift and it is in pride and place on Cara’s memory shelves. Will definitely purchase something else for another gift.”
“My 6yr old loved his adoption pack he loves penguins and can’t wait to come back and visit them.”
“My 8 year old grandaughter loves penguins. We visited folly farm a couple of years ago and we are hoping to come again this year. The penguin toy came packaged really well and he is so cute.”
“I bought silver pack for my son. At no point did you ask for the age of my son. My son just adores penguins as has done since he was a small boy. He is now nearly 25. Therefore, the ‘Certificate’ is rather childish for him and I will need to do my own certificate for him. It is not just children who want to adopt animals!”
“I purchased the gold penguin adoption as a gift for my 21 year old daughter who has always loved Penguin. It arrived the following day, in plenty of time for my daughter who absolutely loved it. I also loved that depending on what level you purchase, you can also include a pre paid ticket to Folly Farm. I would highly recommend this as a gift to someone else or even for yourself!”
“This was brought for my son who is penguin mad and he absolutely loved it thank you. We can’t wait to visit Peter the penguin.”
“Simplistic package for children, bit basic for adults.”
“Bought adoption packs penguin, rhino, panda, and zebra for each of my grand children. Great service fast delivery. Posted straight to their houses. They love them and we all can’t wait when you open again to all come and visit. It will be one of the first things we will do as a family once this lock down is over. Thank you again Folly Farm.”
“My son loves his penguin adoption pack. It put a smile on his face during this very difficult time, as he always loves visiting Folly Farm. He loved the penguin toy and the box it came in along with the adoption certificate. His smile said it all.”
“My daughter asked for a penguin adoption for her 10th birthday. She was so happy when it arrived and loved the information and cuddly toy that came with it!”
“We loved seeing the penguins at Folly Farm.”
“I have bought numerous adoption packs from Folly Farm for my daughter and she absolutely loves them all. She has come to expect one every year for her birthday and Christmas. Fantastic cuddly toy and entry into Folly Farm. She loves the fact that we can go to visit her adopted animal where as with other companies you can’t! Can’t wait to purchase this year’s animal.”
“I purchased the adopt a penguin pack last year for my son. He loved the certificate and information sheet but was over the moon when he saw his very own cuddly penguin. He couldn’t wait to visit his new friend and using his ticket made him feel very grown up. He loves nothing more than watching the penguins swimming under the water. He is already putting a lot of thought into which animal we should adopt this year. “
“I bought the adoption for my daughter Edith’s 3rd birthday present. And then on her birthday took her down to folly farm to see “her penguin”. She absolutely loved it and seeing her name on the board was great, it’s my sons birthday soon and he’s already asked me to adopt an animal for him. It’s a great idea for the kids and great value for money.”
