Ok so my girl friend is obsessed with penguins and we recently went to the Philadelphia zoo to see them but they have a very limited exhibit and she was slightly disappointed that they were from Africa. Does any one know what the closest exhibit is to the Philadelphia area with a arctic penguin exhibit?
 
I think you will have to go quite a distance to find an ARCTIC penguin exhibit.
 
thats what I figured but i thought I would post the question, a better wording may be does any one know of any cold water penguin exhibits
 
kiang's point was that there are no penguins to be found in the arctic (since they are all Southern Hemisphere) and thus no exhibits to show them.

If you want to enjoy a nearby penguin exhibit (all Antarctic species, alas) visit the Central Park Zoo in NYC
 
ah ok thank you for correcting my wording there I apologize for my ignorance I never was very good at geography lol. Thank you both very much for your help
 
I know its not that close but Pittsburgh zoo has king, gentoo and macaroni. Kings are very similar in appearance to the popular Emperor penguin. Cincinnati zoo had five species of penguin when I visited in '08.
