Philadelphia Zoo

Sloth Bear
Jason has been working very hard recently and decided to take a morning for a road trip.  We have been to just about every zoo within a days drive except for the Philly Zoo so we decided to give it a try.  It is by far the most expensive we have been to and therefore perhaps the biggest disappointment.  For $12 to park and $45 or so to get in - the oldest zoo in America kind of looked like it.  Many of the enclosures were small and sparse and the assortment wasn't great.  I think I would have liked it more if it didn't cost so much!  There were some neat old buildings and some of the exhibits, like the ape house and domesticated petting zoo complete with a place to groom the sheep and a big tractor to sit in, were nice. The Lorax was everywhere, providing Daniel with some fun ways to see one of his books come to life.
