Philadelphia Zoological Gardens
Филадельфийский зоопарк
Старейший зоопарк страны (с 1874). Находится в западной части г. Филадельфия, площадь около 17 га. В зоопарке представлено более 1,6 тыс. млекопитающих, рептилий и птиц. Известен тем, что в нем воссоздана естественная среда обитания для птиц, а вольер для животных семейства кошачьих - самый большой в США. Над "сафари-парком" построена экскурсионная монорельсовая дорога.
