Elmwood Zoo Readies For First Ever 'Dog Days' This Week

NORRISTOWN, PA — Last month, Elmwood Park Zoo made history when they announced that they would become the first zoo in the United States to become dog friendly.

Now, special tickets have gone on sale for the "dog days," which will allow visitors to the zoo to bring their dogs with them on select days.

The first dog day is coming up this week on Wednesday, March 10, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

All humans and pups must reserve tickets by filing an online application that contains key veterinary and vaccination information.
