How do I adopt a penguin?

Your penguin adoption will last for 12 months, and 10% of the profit will help raise money for ourĀ conservation partners including N.A.R.C. who carry out underwater dives off the coast of Pembrokeshire to remove rubbish and protect wildlife. So, youāll feel good about this gift too.
Schools and groupĀ organisationsĀ can also sponsor a penguin. Please call the office on 01834 812731 to make arrangements.
Useful information about animal adoption purchases
UK postage is included in the price of an adoption. Adoption packages posted outside of the UK will incur an additional international postage charge of Ā£10 which will need to be added to your online basket at the time of purchase in order for us to process your order.
As a personalised product, animal adoption packs are non-refundable, non-exchangeable and not for resale. If your gift pack arrives damaged, if there is a mistake on the adoption certificate or if the wrong item has been sent, then please email us photos and weāll send a replacement item.

About Folly Farm’s Humboldt penguins
Humboldt penguins get their name from the cold sea current that runs along the west coast of South America from Chile to Peru ā 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.
