Philadelphia Zoo Pics

[Cyndalie]

Last weekend my inlaws and my little family went to the Philadelphia Zoo. It is the oldest zoo in America (1859) and I expected it to be a little run down. This also being my first trip to a cold-weather zoo (I'm from Florida) I'm not sure what I expected by the way of animals. I have to say we were pleasantly suprised. From the ticket price ($18) to the food to the layout, upkeep, cleanliness, everything about the zoo was great. They have done a good job with it. It was a beautiful day, perfect. We had a really good time.

Here are some pics

Amazing pics Cyn. Looks like a beautiful zoo. We went this summer with Ryan, but it was so hot most of the animals were sleeping or hiding in the shade. We still had a good time and it was great to see Ryan so interested in the animals. I love the zebras and I was lucky enough to feed one. :)

Looks great. But now I'm thinking about some of the zoo's in my country where the next days all animals in them will be killed because of lack of money to feed them.

Some very cool pics.

The last time I was at a zoo was the Metro Toronto Zoo years ago when I lived in TO
It's a nice zoo but so HUGE!

It would literally take a few days to walk the entire zoo. Taking into account stopping and looking at each animal for a bit which is what the zoo is all about there is no way to see it all in one day.
