🐒🐻🐢🦏A day at America’s first zoo! 🦓🦒🦍🐐🦩 

@philadelphiazoo has been welcoming families since 1874, and there is SO much that makes this place special. From monkeys traveling above us on the first-of-its-kind-in-the-world Zoo360 system 🐒 to getting up close with a tortoise 🐢, rhinos 🦏, zebras 🦓 and the most amazing giraffe feeding experience 🦒!

We explored the historic Treehouse 🌳, which dates back to the 1800s and is now an iconic play space for kids, then rode the Amazon Rainforest Carousel 🎠, the first of its kind in the U.S. featuring endangered Amazon species.

We also got to see gorillas 🦍, bears 🐻 and flamingos 🦩 before ending with some goat brushing 🐐!

Such a unique and exciting family experience. We absolutely loved it and it was totally worth the drive to Philadelphia! ❤️
