Philadelphia Zoo to open a beer garden

Later this month or in early July, America's oldest zoo will open The Watering Hole.

Everybody is getting into the act with beer gardens.

Now, it's the Philadelphia Zoo.

Later this month or in early July, America's oldest zoo will open The Watering Hole.

This new spot - open to admitted zoo patrons - is on the south side of the property near Eagle's Roost, the popular lunch spot. (It's the entrance area to the former children's zoo.)

Groundswell Design did the layout.

Eagle's Roost and Tiger Terrace just started selling beer and wine recently.

Note that outdoor beverages are forbidden from the zoo.
