Adults can enjoy the zoo with local beers & dinosaurs

Philly’s back in action, with new beer gardens to enjoy.

The Philadelphia Zoo is offering adults – whether with kids or friends – a Friday night out. The Friday Nights Dinos and Bites has extended hours to visit the zoo, animatronic dinosaurs in the “Big Time” exhibit, and a beer garden.

Dinos and Bites extends visitors hours until 8 PM, offering local beers and a themed Dino Bites eatery (including vegan options with Beyond Burgers.) Plus, the Zoo will be debuting new babies this month.
