Philadelphia Zoo Debuts Friday Nights Dinos and Bites With Dino-Themed Menus and Beer Garden
“We are excited to extend our hours and kick-off Friday nights at the Zoo,” said Philadelphia Zoo Chief Marketing & Experience Officer Amy Shearer. “This dino-mite program offers the perfect occasion to enjoy an evening sip and stroll while you try our newly-themed food and craft beer and wine menus. Guests can unwind after a long work week and make memories with family and friends, or make it a date night to remember.”
Friday Nights Dinos and Bites begins on Friday, May 28th through Friday, September 3rd and enables guests to visit their favorite animals and check out Big Time, a new immersive multi-sensory experience featuring 24-animatronic prehistoric beasts, transporting guests back to when these giants roamed the Earth and enjoy the outdoors at the Zoo.
A truly unique adventure, Big Time highlights the history of these impressive beasts, taking visitors through evocative landscapes and providing ways to help enact change. This dynamic experience stimulates the senses and enables guests to walk among dinosaurs like the mighty T-rex, puts them face-to-face with an enormous Woolly Mammoth, and side-by-side with a life-sized polar bear, elephant and Sumatran rhino and more.
