Playa Penguinos with Humboldt penguins and Steamer ducks, 2008-03-01

Located on Location Es, a smaller part of Dierenpark Emmen located outside of the Emmen city center, where the new zoo WIldlands has since been built. This area has since been turned into a hippopotamus exhibit. A new penguin exhibit was first created in the old zoo and later in Wildlands.
This was a legendary penguin exhibit during its era. I think that it's a decent hippo pool now, as I saw the renovation job when I visited in 2019, but it looks as if it was superb for penguins.
 
@snowleopard I have only seen pictures and aerial photos of the hippopotamus exhibit as I haven't yet visited Wildlands. It does look like a pretty decent hippopotamus exhibit - but in my opinion the penguin exhibit was quite a bit more impressive and innovative.
