What’s New at the Zoo?

This is a Special Invite Only Event Limited to Thirty People

For more than four generations, Philadelphia Zoo has served as one of the region’s most important destinations, welcoming millions of diverse visitors to experience magnificent wildlife and be inspired to action for animals and habitats.  More recently, the Zoo has become a leader in addressing some of the key environmental and social issues affecting the Greater Philadelphia region.
