(America’s first zoo) is an unforgettable adventure of wildlife trails and places to mingle with exotic species of all types. The innovative Great Ape Trail and TreeTop Trail enable primates to travel and explore via a system of elevated passageways and lookouts situated among the treetops, providing a safe yet interactive experience for visitors and animals to encounter one another from a new perspective.
There is also an extensive variety of animal exhibits, and engaging attractions such as the Amazon Rainforest Carousel, Channel 6 Zooballoon Balloon Rides, Camel Safari, Pony Rides, Swan Boats and the PZ Express train.
Now, Philadelphia Zoo has added to their list of exciting attractions The KidZooUKidZooU, Hamilton Family Children’s Zoo and Faris Family Education Center, which offers year-round educational and recreational programming for children of all ages from toddlers to tweens.
The new KidZooU 2.5-acre wildlife academy merges a world-view education center with an up-close and personal children’s zoo, providing an indoor and outdoor experience with dynamic displays, opportunities for hands-on learning, rare and unusual goats, sheep, chickens, and ducks, and much more. According to the KidZooU website, the center is “aimed at nurturing curiosity and sharing ways in which we can all protect wildlife in our everyday lives, here at home and around the world.”
Here are some of the exciting exhibits and programs available at KidZooU:
These are just some of the fun and interactive activities for the kids at KidZooU – there’s so much more to experience here. And if you run out of time to do it all in one day, you can even spend the night! That’s right… Zoo overnights are a great way to see the animals in “nocturnal mode”. But be sure to make your reservations early, as space is limited and fill up quickly.
For a full list of attractions, prices, hours of operation and anything else you want to know about spending a day at the zoo, visit the Philadelphia Zoo Website.
If you want to make your child’s trip to the Philadelphia Zoo a special memory to last a lifetime, consider a Philadelphia car, limousine or van service to transport your family to and from KidZooU. Not only will it make your child’s day unforgettable, but for parents the trip can be so much more enjoyable when you don’t have to simultaneously juggle the navigation of heavy traffic with the monitoring of children in the back seat, (all you parents out there know exactly what we’re talking about!)
If you’re visiting the Philadelphia area while the kids are on break from the school year, you and your children can enjoy some quality time during the trip by leaving the driving responsibility to an experienced hired driver who’s familiar with the area’s attractions, Philly streets and best travel routes to get wherever you want to go.

Great customer service- tracking my flight, noting it was going to land 40 minutes early…and making the adjustment so someone was there to meet me at the airport early! Also, receiving a confirmation email 24 hours prior was reassuring as well. Thank you!!
