The Philadelphia Zoo announces Big Time: Life in an Endangerous Age





The Philadelphia Zoo announces Big Time: Life in an Endangerous Age, a brand-new immersive multi-sensory experience featuring 24-life-size, animatronic dinosaurs that will transport guests back to when these giants roamed the Earth.   Opening to the public on March 29, 2021, Big Time highlights some of history’s most powerful events, volcanic eruptions, and asteroid strikes, that changed the atmosphere, the level of the seas, the temperature of the earth, even the amount of sunlight on the planet.  As a result of these catastrophes, some creatures had the time to adapt, and others did not, dying off forever. Through evocative landscapes, realistic settings, immersive sounds, and life-like giants, Big Time takes guests through the Age of Dinosaurs through to present day, showing what life was like and the challenges faced when these amazons walked the planet.

Field Trip to the Philadelpia Zoo



Last week my kids and I went to the Philadelphia Zoo, for Blogger Day at the zoo. I haven't been to the zoo for a few years so it was nice to see some of the new exhibits and activities they have added. The most exciting was seeing the new baby giraffe at the zoo, during her very 1st appearance to the public (she's so cute)! You can help to pick her name by clicking here




Checking out animals underground


Reminds me of Florida!

We loved seeing Arthur the Aardvark!


My kids enjoyed the newest exhibit called Creatures of Habitat which is designed by the Philadelphia Zoo to be a hands on exhibits about famishing habitats told through sculptures made of LEGOS, my kids loved to find the different station and collect trading cards and at each station they talk to the children about ways they can help the different habitats.
