Elmwood Park Zoo was established in 1924 when roughly 16 acres of land and a small group of animals were donated to the borough of Norristown. Although the early years of the zoo were more akin to a small farm; it has gone through an extensive expansion during the past few decades. This expansion and the continued revitalization of Elmwood Park Zoo include some notable residents; such as the zoo�s owl; who has become the mascot of Temple University; and its bald eagle; a sideline regular for the NFL�s Philadelphia Eagles. The zoo today; with new features including a zip line and a giraffe exhibit; looks to the future; with plans for even more exhibits; a new restaurant; and an additional 20 acres yet to be developed.
