David Field, Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) CEO, said, "We know our visitors have missed the Penguin Parade, and the Wee Waddle is a great way to bring this back and keep the magic of experiencing the penguins waddle around and explore outside their pool, while also getting closer to the colony during feeds.
"This is all part of our charity's ongoing efforts to get people as close to nature as possible so that we can inspire and enable them to help protect it."
Visitors can watch the Wee Waddle at Edinburgh Zoo Thursday to Sunday at 2:15pm.
Tickets to Edinburgh Zoo can be booked online in advance at a discounted rate at edinburghzoo.org.uk/tickets.
