Best zoo in norristown elmwood park zoo is the best zoo in the area and a nice place to visit with the kids. they have all kinds of animals with them and they have tried their best to provide these animals with their natural environment. the entry fees is $8 which is quite reasonable. they also have adequate parking space available for their visitors.

You get what you pay for This is a nice little zoo, certainly sufficient for the younger set that maybe couldn't handle the Philadelphia Zoo. There are no primates here, and a lot of the animals are native to the area. My kids liked the playground the best, and the otters are a close second. They do have educational programs throughout the day.

awesome!!!! they have large collection of endangered animals and aquatics. all kina creatures: beautiful, scary, unusual animals and birds. their aqatic collection was very very pretty. they had a good collection of farm animals. parking is reaily available. there is a cafe when u enter which has very delicous hot dogs. they also have many events like the one we went was about haloween. pictures are not prohibited in the park so we had a lot of sun taking snaps of the animals. it was knowledgable and amusing. i went there with my friend to do a project about endangered animals and it was kool becasue i learned along wid having fun. PROS: beautiful place for kids, family gettogher, good maintainance CONS: there were no coolection of butterflies and parrots.

Not overwhelming This is a small zoo that little ones can enjoy without being overwhelmed by a large zoo. They have animal shows scheduled where children can learn about the animals and may even get a chance to pet them. They offer pony rides which is always a big excitement for little ones, there is a fee. Some of the animals that are at this zoo are animals that have been rescued and can no longer be released for their safety

Great Family Place! Elmwood zoo is a wonderful little place to go with the family on a nice outing. It is small, with a nice variety of animals and things to see. Also includes a great playground for the kids to stop and play while mom and dad relax! I highly recommend everyone in the area visit!

Small, quaint place to go This is a quaint little zoo that offers different animals then what you would see at the larger Philadelphia Zoo. They also have a great playground for the kids. We like to go here to get away from the large crowds at the other place. It's inexpensive, and not hard to find.
