Public Art at America’s First Zoo
About this Event
Join us for a walking tour that explores the intertwined legacies of Philadelphia Zoo and the Association for Public Art (aPA)—both founded in the 1870s—and the ways in which aPA has helped place at least seven sculptures at the zoo by notable artists over many years. The tour will be led by aPA and zoo staff guides, as well as artist Darla Jackson, a contemporary sculptor of animal forms.
This tour is suitable for ages 12+. Capacity is limited, so pre-registration is required.
Headsets are provided for all participants. You will receive instructions on where to meet for this tour once you register.
NOTE: This tour does not include general admission to the zoo. Once the tour is completed, participants who are not zoo members will need to either purchase general admission tickets or exit the zoo grounds.
Paid parking is available. Visit for more information.
