Registration Cancellation & Refund Policy
A full refund will be given if you cancel at least two business days prior to the penguin encounter. If you need to cancel your registration less than two business days prior to the penguin encounter, you will not receive a refund. In the event that Lincoln Park Zoo must cancel the encounter, a full refund will be issued. During the penguin encounter, guests are guaranteed to enter Pritzker Penguin Cove with zoo staff. This does not imply a guarantee that animals will approach or remain for a minimum amount of time.
