There’s always something new at the Zoo. 

Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall: the Zoo is constantly evolving and our animals change and grow with each passing day. From special events to programs for both children and adults, the Zoo offers family fun and enrichment year round.  

The Philadelphia Zoo is open every day of the year, except Thanksgiving Day, December 24, 25 and 31, January 1, and the second Thursday in June.

Tips when planning your trip to the Philadelphia Zoo.

• If your schedule permits, choose a day during the week to plan your visit to avoid the larger weekend crowds.
• Plan your visit to begin early in the day if the weather permits. Finding a parking space will be simpler, and there shouldn't be long lines at the admissions booths.
