Elmwood Park Zoo
1661 Harding Blvd, Norristown, PA 19401-2974
Elmwood Park Zoo was established in 1924 when a local farmer transferred 16 acres and a small menagerie to the Borough of Norristown. Today, the zoo is owned and operated by the Norristown Zoological Society, a non-profit organization whose mission is to foster an appreciation of wildlife and their habitat that will inspire active participation in conservation. Under the Society's careful management, Elmwood Park Zoo has attained the elite status as one of only 225 institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The zoo's accreditation was renewed in September, 2016. Elmwood Park Zoo currently maintains a collection of dozens of species that hail from all over the globe. Highlights of the collection include red pandas, jaguars, bald and golden eagles, giraffes, zebras, elk, and more. A number of animals in the collection are managed pursuant to an international SSP (Species Survival Plan), representing threatened and endangered species.
