The Philadelphia Zoo has built a redefined world-class children’s zoo that takes this philosophy to a new level – providing a joyful, engaging experience for children and families while promoting a lifetime of conservation action through hands-on learning activities.

The Philadelphia Zoo has been working to design a more accessible space for  children of all abilities, age, gender, and background at this KidZooU. This Zoo has been redesigned using Universal Design concepts. As an overview the zoo has quiet spaces, braille signs, sign language, a code access for other languages, and wheel chair accessibility. This space also provides diversity for children's learning preferences. 

“Every child—no matter their age, gender, background, ability—can make the world a better place for animals.”

I am SO excited about this zoo. It is the first place designed for kids that I have come in contact with in our area and has been designed for all types of kids! This will allow for a better learning experience for all children including those with a physical or mental impairment.
