Philadelphia Zoo - Zoo in Philadelphia - 3400 W Girard Ave, USA

We always have a fun time at the zoo! The oldest and first zoo in America has a lot to offer! There are really great animals to view and very knowledgeable staff to answer questions and give deep insight of animal behaviors and habitats. There were some animals missing that we were looking forward to seeing, like the lions, but otherwise we were able to get some amazing photos of a bunch of them! If you've never been here, take the day to enjoy these beautiful creatures!

Luminature at the Philadelphia Zoo, and this event was a real treat! I have always loved the Zoo but gave never attended this event, or been at the Zoo in the Winter. We went as a group of adults. There were pop up bars around the zoo for spiked Cider, wine, seltzer and hot chocolate. The food vendors were serving all kinds of choices throughout the park. This was a very nice, relaxing Friday night with friends. There were light shows all over, with heaters which were perfectly placed to keep you warm while watching. Will definitely go again next year.

We love this Zoo! Always fun for kids and adults who are kids at heart. We went for the lights exhibit right around Christmas, but we are members and have been for about 46 years.

Visited with my four kids and ended up getting the family membership instead. Is worth it because of the extra perks. We got free parking and the kids were able to do a free scavenger hunt. There’s more things to do but we were pressed for time. Overall it’s a clean environment and lots to do. The staff in all of the food areas, though, we’re super rude and short. They need some training in their customer service. The picture I’m sharing is of their orangutan enclosure. They had just celebrated one of their 31st birthdays. But they got presents with food inside of them and it looks like a whole party had happened. It was super nice to see that they were thoughtful to throw them a little birthday party. There is about a five minute walk from the parking lot to the zoo so be prepared and also make sure you wear walking shoes because there’s a lot of walking throughout the day.

Highly recommend this zoo because it is amazing. The staffs were so friendly and the zoo is very clean. My son is a animal lover so we take him to a zoo everywhere we visit. And by far, this was one of the greatest zoo we visited. It takes 3-4 hours to complete seeing the whole zoo. It has some rare animal which we have not seen in any other zoo.

Good fun experience at the zoo. Saw loads of animals ranging from tigers, pumas, lions, reptiles, bats, various birds, baby penguins, zebras, giraffes, hippopotamus to name a few. Get a free map at the entrance and follow through it - quite easy. The place is mostly clean and has fun rides for kids too. Tips: 1. The public transportation is shady and infrequent even before it gets darker. So try to leave as early as possible unless you have a car. 2. Majority of the restaurants and food trucks remained closed even on a Sunday morning, with literally just one option to choose from. So be prepared for that.

I love, love, love the Philly Zoo!! It's such a clean, beautiful and historic zoo! The animals appear well cared for and their habitats seem designed for enrichment. There are often Zoo staff stationed at exhibits to answer questions or offer interesting info about the animals. There is always something new to see, like the two puma cubs or the baby langur. If you visit more than once per year, buy a membership!!

We went to Luminature, it was beautiful sight with warm-up winter extras such as hot chocolate, cider, fire pits and marshmallows. We even got to see some animals! I wish there was a spring or summer version of this event with the lights bubbles and ice cream.
