Elmwood Park Zoo Offering Montco Residents Half-Priced Entry In 2025

NORRISTOWN, PA — Elmwood Park Zoo has announced a new initiative for Montgomery County residents to see the zoo at half-priced admission through the end of the year.

The offer was announced during a special ceremony and tribute at the zoo on Thursday, where zoo officials gathered with various Montgomery County officials to make the announcement.

The discount is thanks to a gift from renowned zoo philanthropists Frank and Paige Engro, whose support of the zoo allowed them to build their recently opened world-class veterinary health center.

Half price tickets can only be bought through the zoo's website link here.

Montgomery County Commissioners Tom DiBello, Jamila Winder, and Neil Makhija all spoke at the event on Thursday, specifically to thank the Engros.

The completion of the animal hospital and welcome center was only stage one of a proposed three-pronged redevelopment that could bring a host of changes to the area. The zoo is currently working with the municipality of Norristown on plans to create new wildlife exhibits, including construction of a bridge over Stony Creek to allow easier access to open space on other parts of the property, which could be built on.
