Zoos are colorful, educational and fun. The Philadelphia Zoo has a reasonable membership fee that allows for an entire year of entry with free parking in any lot. The cost of a one day visit for an adult and child is $38 and parking is $15 coming to a total of $53.
Now, a two person membership for a year (me and anyone) with the parking was $70. Deal. It is expensive to eat inside the zoo so, take a lunch or leave, then return. Tesla and I split the 42 acres in half and went to a little deli, and for under $10, had gourmet sandwiches made with drinks and chips. Deal.
The first thing that caught our eyes was the animal sculptures. My daughter enjoys art nearly as much as I, and in time that appreciation of art will only grow. We talk extensively about the places around the world we wish to visit. Bikini Bottom being on the top of her list. 😉 Her career plans are to be a veterinarian.
So, before I get to sharing pictures of the animals, I want to share a gallery of the animal statues though-out the Philadelphia Zoo.
For best viewing, click on the first picture to open the gallery. Enjoy! ~P.

Go ahead...take a swing. I'll duck and listen.
