If you’re looking for a wild and unforgettable morning with the kids this summer, Breakfast with the Giraffes at Elmwood Park Zoo is a must! Imagine sipping your coffee while your little ones get up close and personal with the zoo’s friendly giraffes - yes, it’s just as fun as it sounds.

🗓️ Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025
⏰ Time: 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM
📍 Location: Elmwood Park Zoo, Norristown, PA
Enjoy a hot breakfast buffet on the zoo’s Treetop Terrace while watching the giraffes roam nearby. After breakfast, you’ll get to hand-feed the giraffes (seriously, how cool is that?) and enjoy early access to the zoo before it opens to the public.
🎟️ Tickets must be purchased in advance and they do sell out—so if you’re thinking about going, don’t wait too long!
