Great day trip with the kiddos, mine were excited to see animals but that’s where I gave it a 3 star because many animals were missing, the big cats weren’t active, primates also were just laying around, the reptiles became a cool game of can you spot it. What I was disappointed at was everything cost extra, train ride for kids, carousel, food, water, feeding animals, etc. also the zoo keepers didn’t seem excited or thrilled to talk about the animals or get the kids involved with fun facts. Definitely a lot of room for improvement but I believe it’s still a nice day out!

Just a few pictures of our fun day at the zoo! We were so happy to see all of the animals today! We were a little worried when we first arrived and saw all of the kids on a field trip but it wasn't too bad. My 4 year old said he loved seeing all of the animals!

This was my first visit ever to the Philadelphia zoo and I must say it was an experience. This zoo is absolutely huge for. Prepare for a day of walking. Their are little eatery places that serve different types of food, snacks, and drinks. The animals that were out were exciting to see. Many exhibits were under construction (total bummer). A tip for the zoo would be, maybe update your website so customers/visitors know that some exhibits are under construction. However, my family and I still had an amazing time. There were still many animals to see and read about and a few of the animals actual put on a show. Overall, I will definitely plan another trip.

We came here during the Memorial Day weekend 2021. This was our first time here. It was raining on the way here and for a short period time after arriving but it eventually stopped and we were able to enjoy the Zoo. Parking was pretty easy and was just a short walk to the main gate. Once through the main gate there is an inside exhibit, we hung out in there for while because they had a few new baby animals and it was neat to see how they act with their mothers. A few exhibits was closed at this time but nothing that would stop you from having a good time! They have so many animals to see and enjoy! One of my favorites were the 3 giraffes, which was amazing to see because most Zoos I been to either have 1,2 or none at all. Be prepared because it is a lot of walking so bring your best walking/running shoes. Can’t forget the beer! Beer was good and cold! However, this Zoo is kind of pricey because you have to pay for parking and admission, which is unheard of. All of the Zoos I have been to you either paid for admission and parking was free or you paid for parking and admission was free. I still recommend visiting the Philadelphia Zoo. You will have a great time!
