Top Zoos & Sanctuaries in Pennsylvania

wear comfy shoes! you'll be doing a lot of walking. my feet were killing me by the end of the day because i wore cute but not practical shoes.

Check out the animal feeding times and schedule as soon as you arrive. I almost missed the giraffe feeding because I didn’t look at the board right away.

Bring your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. Zoo food is kinda pricey! I packed a little picnic and it worked great.

Don't forget to visit the small animal exhibits—they're often overlooked and have some really cool creatures. I spotted a capybara that was just adorable!
