This is the first animal park in the United States, that is, a zoo established when the country was just founded, so it has a very long history. Although it is not particularly large, there are really humane facilities everywhere. In addition to the humanity, the animality here is also quite good. This place pays great attention to animals. They live in a purely natural environment and can live in harmony with humans. People can also interact with them without any pressure.
What a great place! City Hall was full of life outside. Kids were having fun playing. It was such a fun experience! City Hall was beautiful inside as well. There was a historical trivia board that said when the building was first built it was the tallest building because there was a law that said you couldn't build taller than this. Obviously that law is no longer in place after all these years but it was still cool to know! City Hall is a must see if you're in Philadelphia.
