Philadelphia Zoological Garden, Zoo in the Centennial District of Philadelphia, United States.

The Philadelphia Zoo spans 42 acres along the Schuylkill River, housing 1,300 animals representing 340 species in naturalistic environments and specialized exhibits.

Chartered in 1859 and opened in 1874 with 1,000 animals, the Philadelphia Zoo became the first zoological garden established in the United States.

The Philadelphia Zoo developed the first laboratory and children's zoo in the United States, introducing specialized animal diets that zoos still use today.

The zoo welcomes visitors daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, featuring the Zoo360 trail system where animals move through elevated mesh pathways.

The Guam Bird Rescue Project at Philadelphia Zoo works to preserve endangered species like the Guam kingfisher from extinction due to environmental threats.
