PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Philadelphia Zoo has unveiled the East Coast premiere of Wildlife Rescue, an interactive new exhibit that invites visitors to climb, play, and learn through the stories of endangered species brought back from the edge of extinction. Open now through September 14, the experience features life-sized and larger-than-life climbable sculptures, combining education and fun to foster awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation.
“We are always looking for innovative and interactive ways to connect people with wildlife and inspire action to protect animals,” said Dr. Jo-Elle Mogerman, President & CEO of Philadelphia Zoo. “This exhibit blends play with education, sparking love and compassion for the natural world.”
Wildlife Rescue, created by Ottawa-based Little Ray’s Exhibitions, highlights the efforts that have helped save species such as the northern leopard frog, leatherback sea turtle, and balding eagle. Spread across the Zoo’s 42-acre campus, the exhibit includes 13 scientifically accurate animal sculptures, among them a red panda, rusty-patched bumble bee, snow leopard, and orangutan.
Little Ray’s Exhibitions, known for its dedication to connecting people with the natural world, brings decades of experience to this installation. The organization, founded by Paul “Little Ray” Goulet, emphasizes education and engagement through its exhibits, making it one of the largest of its kind in North America.
Wildlife Rescue is included in the price of admission, which ranges from $19 to $29 for adults and children. Zoo members enjoy free entry. Tickets are now available online at philadelphiazoo.org.
