Great day at the zoo.most animals were out today and staff was very friendly and most willing to help .Explored indoor reptiles, birds ect. All in all clean and didnt experience any unwanted smells. Most enjoyable day . I would recommend for ages 0-100. Seamed accessible for strollers and wheelchairs .

This zoo is an amazing very family friendly so much to do. They had a good balance of indoor and outdoors animals and activities for the kids. We have been there dozens of times. We are never disappointed. You can tell the graininess really care deeply about the animals they care for.

The staff and volunteers were really friendly. Giraffe feeding was fun. Miss Joy was a whole experience for the train ride and her name suits her. Hadn’t realized you could buy a $25 all fun pass until the end. Which I guess you might as well, overall the park felt like it could need maintenance. Just fyi $7 for an icey ice cream. $5-7 for a small bottle of water. Parking was $22
Quite a few animals weren’t out of maybe they were empty, didn’t see big cats, penguins, orangutans, rhinos, flamingos. All the glass was dirty and smudged. The daily pricing seems to change for each day so buy in advance at a lower price. Sun. $33/adult $28/child

Such an amazing experience visiting out of town . The Zoo is massive , so much to see , the exhibits are all so beautiful . The animals all look so happy and enjoying their spaces . We paid for the giraffe feeding experience . It was only $8 and it was the coolest thing ever . The Zoo employees were so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the Giraffes and even took a few family pictures for us feeding them . I really appreciated how kind and friendly they were it actually made our experience a 10/10 . There was also plenty of places to eat and indoor exhibits to cool down on a hot day . This zoo definitly need to be on your must visit list !

Philadelphia Zoo was a great experience! There were so many different animals to see, and it wasn’t crowded, which made it easy to take our time and enjoy everything. Seeing the flamingos, orangutans, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and rhino was especially amazing. The whole visit was enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely worth visiting!
