Elmwood Park Zoo - Zoo in Norristown - 1661 Harding Blvd, USA

I absolutely love their holiday Wild Lights show! They really turn this place into a magical land of lights! It looks so nice this time of year. They also offer pictures with Santa and other select Disney characters. This year, it was Frozen characters, and the kids enjoy it every year! They have some animals you can see as well after dark, but some of them are inside fir the night. We come for the lights mostly, but if we get to see the animals, that's a bonus. I highly recommend Elmwood around the holidays. Their light show will not disappoint!

We went during the summer. I like that you can purchase tickets at specific times. It doesn’t seem overly crowded. We enjoyed feeding the giraffes but you do not get a lot of lettuce for the amount of money that you pay. It was really neat to see the different animal areas. They have a lot for a small zoo. Love that parents can purchase alcohol.

We attended a wedding here tonight. How cool and unique having a wedding at a zoo! Our kids are picky eaters and didn’t like any of the food being served. The catering manager made some nuggets and fries just for our kids. That was very kind and meant a lot to us. Five stars for him being awesome!

Son loves it (1-3 yrs). We try to come monthly. Great small zoo and perfect outing for little ones (1-2 hrs). Giraffe feeding is fun. Like to bring snacks to enjoy on picnic tables under covered area. Worth the annual pass!

We love Elmwood! Perfect for parents with young kids. It's big enough to be interesting but small enough to walk around in 90 minutes. There's an awesome playground that's completely fenced in so you can let your feral children loose. There's a cool music garden that my kids love. There's a nice selection of animals that you really get a good view of. You can even feed the giraffes!

Wow!!! Amazing adventure right in our back yard!! (30 min drive) if you have children this is a MUST! Great attractions, huge playground, tons of things to do and see. It can be a full day or just a few hours visit. Wayyyyyyyyy better than the Philadelphia zoo. Very clean!! THEY SERVE ALCOHOL and coffee! Staff is positive and very helpful and personable. Animals were well taken care of and seemed happy to be there. Giraffes were super cool to feed. Worth every penny!

The perfect size zoo for little ones and their families! You get to see big and small animals within a reasonable walking space plus there's feedings, carousel rides, treetop adventures and face painting for an additional fee. Enjoy the playground, food stands and musical garden too. Lots of parking which is free. Highly recommend! They also have great seasonal events.

The light show was nice. Too bad more animals weren't out, but it is December. Parking was CRAZY but got VERY luck finding someone pulling out after several laps..
