Tusher African Center
(African Hall)
African Hall, a favorite venue from the original museum, is located on Level
1.
The area features recreations of animals in their
natural settings — 21 African dioramas showcase zebras, gorillas,
lions, and leopards. 

African Hall also includes a colony of South
African Penguins (see photos).
Additionally, five of the African Hall's dioramas
will feature live animals, including chameleons, tortoises, endangered
cichlids from Lake Malawi and a rock python.

Be sure to visit the Penguin Colony during feeding times — that's when
the penguins are at their most playful.
