One Of The Largest Zoos In The U.S. Is In Pennsylvania, And It’s Magical
A trip to the largest zoo in Pennsylvania promises a whole lot of magical moments. You might even feel like a kid again as you wave to your favorite animals, sink your teeth in a deliciously sugary goody, and maybe even soar among the treetops. The only questions really are: When will you go, and what will you do first?
Occupying 17 acres in Norristown, Elmwood Park Zoo is a picture-perfect day trip destination.
You even have the unique opportunity to feed the bison or the giraffes. A separate, nominal fee is required, but it's well worth it for this one-of-a-kind experience.
Elmwood Park Zoo also offers unique behind-the-scenes encounters with some of its most popular residents. Otters, sloths, and giraffes are among the current encounters. You can even have a snack with Pokey the porcupine.
A separate fee and a reservation are required for animal encounters.
The animals are, hands down, the star of the zoo, but a ton more fun awaits, too. Ride the carousel. Watch the kiddos at the playground, or get your face painted.
If you're a fan of high-flying thrills, head to Treetop Adventures at the zoo. Take on the challenge course, and soar 50 feet above the ground of the zoo on the zipline.
