Tree-mendous Day at the Zoo
Join the Philadelphia Zoo and the Philly Tree Coalition for a Tree-mendous Day at the Zoo, a family-friendly celebration of trees, nature, health, and community!
Spend the day exploring one of Philadelphia’s most beloved destinations while discovering how trees help create healthier neighborhoods, thriving wildlife habitats, and a greener future for all.
This special collaboration between the Philadelphia Zoo and the Philly Tree Coalition highlights the vital role trees play in supporting healthy ecosystems, resilient communities, and thriving Philadelphians. Trees make life better for humans and animals alike by improving air quality, cooling neighborhoods, reducing stormwater runoff, enhancing wildlife habitat, and supporting overall wellness.
Visitors can enjoy a full day packed with engaging activities and opportunities to learn, connect, and take action, including:
- Interactive workshops in the Treehouse
- Story time for children and families
- Games and hands-on activities
- Arts and crafts
- Prizes and giveaways (like a yard tree giveaway—take home a free tree for your yard!)
- Health and wellness activations at the PHMC Pavillion
- Resource sharing and educational displays
- Program sign-ups and volunteer opportunities
Whether you’re looking for fun family activities, practical tree related environmental resources for your home and neighborhood, or ways to get involved in growing Philadelphia’s urban forest, Tree-mendous Day at the Zoo has something for everyone.
