There are so many attractions in Philadelphia that a tourist can enjoy, but if you are an animal lover, you must head to Philadelphia Zoo. There are more than 1300 animals housed here, and more than a million visitors come here every year to enjoy their day amidst flora and fauna here. This was the first zoo in the USA and has now evolved to incorporate the most modern and scientific preservation techniques as well. The specialty of this zoo is that you get a lot of chances for interaction with the animals here. The zoo is open 360 days a year and is closed only on these five days – Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. If you are a member, you can enjoy unlimited free entries to the zoo. From March to October, the zoo remains open for an extra hour, while the winter timings are from 9.30 am to 4 pm only.
