Elmwood Park Zoo

We love Elmwood! Perfect for parents with young kids. It's big enough to be interesting but small enough to walk around in 90 minutes. There's an awesome playground that's completely fenced in so you can let your feral children loose. There's a cool music garden that my kids love. There's a nice selection of animals that you really get a good view of. You can even feed the giraffes!

Wow!!! Amazing adventure right in our back yard!! (30 min drive) if you have children this is a MUST! Great attractions, huge playground, tons of things to do and see. It can be a full day or just a few hours visit. Wayyyyyyyyy better than the Philadelphia zoo. Very clean!! THEY SERVE ALCOHOL and coffee! Staff is positive and very helpful and personable. Animals were well taken care of and seemed happy to be there. Giraffes were super cool to feed. Worth every penny!

This is a cute zoo with a variety of animals. I watched several of the workers feed the animals and they look well taken care of. My only dislike was the jaguar that was kept in the small enclosure without access to the outside...he kept staring at the exit like he was looking beyond the door to potential freedom which broke my heart. 💔🐆 Hopefully they let him out in the sunshine at times. Other than that and my desire to take all the animals home with me, it was an interesting and fun visit. ✨

The perfect size zoo for little ones and their families! You get to see big and small animals within a reasonable walking space plus there's feedings, carousel rides, treetop adventures and face painting for an additional fee. Enjoy the playground, food stands and musical garden too. Lots of parking which is free. Highly recommend! They also have great seasonal events.

Great little zoo, with beautiful grounds. We visited on a weekday afternoon while passing through, little wait for tickets. We enjoyed seeing all of their animals, the giraffe feeding was definitely a highlight, and the kids loved the large play area and percussion garden. We were pleasantly surprised by the food options on site, including adult beverages. If wed had more time, we would've loved to check out the ropes course.
