The Philadelphia Zoo has been a long-standing tradition in my life ever since I was little. Every…read morecouple of years, if not more often, I always find myself coming back because there is truly something special about this place. No matter your age, it never gets old. The zoo has everything you could possibly want to see; from tiny animals to monkeys, giraffes, gorillas, big cats, reptiles, birds, and just about anything in between. Every exhibit is well kept, exciting, and full of opportunities to learn something new while having a great time walking around. One of the best parts is that you do not even need to know much about animals going in because you can take a tour with an incredibly knowledgeable guide who seems to know everything about every animal in the zoo. It makes the experience even more interactive, interesting, and memorable. Whether you are going with family, friends, or even by yourself, the Philadelphia Zoo is absolutely worth visiting and continues to be one of my favorite places year after year.

The zoo really did a good job creating an interactive environment for these cute little animals. I enjoyed the wide variety of animals the zoo offered.

He was snoozing in the tube right over our heads! The was my second visit, and I would probably go again.

Sure this is a small aquarium, but there's still lots to see and do. You can easily spend 2 hours walking around and checking everything out. It's a great way to spend a day by the beach in the winter - especially if it's sunny out so you can walk the boardwalk after. Anyways, back to the aquarium! My kids (2.5 and 4.5) had a blast. We loved watching the seal feeding and the penguin feeding. There were so many fish and reptiles to check out, and even some land animals like little monkeys and parrots. There are some seriously impressive sharks, jellyfish, sea horses, turtles. I could go on and on. A special highlight was also seeing a real life Axolotl - my girls have been obsessed with this animal lately. We got here close to opening so it wasn't hard to find a spot. I'm sure it can be mayhem if you come on a summer beach day! The gift shop at the end was cute, but don't get lured by the low prices. I got my girls each a plastic mermaid for $5 (felt low for a gift shop) but everything cracked and broke after a few minutes of play time. This was a perfect little activity for my kids, and I could definitely see us coming back again.

Since then, this venue has gone downhill fast, and is currently at the bottom of the hill. Some of the animals are gone, the glass on many tanks and enclosures are very dirty, and the water in many tanks is cloudy. Tickets for general admission are $20 for adults and $14 for children. They had a 25% discount offer when we purchased them. The pricing structure for interactions is especially disappointing. Food and animal interaction tickets cost $2 each, and entry into certain exhibits requires two tickets per person. For a family of four, that's $16 for what amounts to a very brief, five-minute encounter. Staff members walk around with small animals, such as a rat, and offer children the chance to pet them -- for two tickets per child, or $8 for about two minutes. The touch tank was sparse: a few lobsters, one visible starfish, an anemone, and little else could be seen. The parakeet cage, which was a highlight last year, has also changed. Visitors are given a small stick with a bit of food at the end. Parakeets land briefly, and within about three minutes, we were ushered out. That short experience cost $16. Woodbridge Aquarium & Wildlife Center needs a significant overhaul. While indoor activities for young children can be limited in winter, I would recommend saving your money and looking elsewhere.
