Leaving the Big Cat Falls habitats of the Philadelphia Zoo, I placed my sights on the exit. To get there I crossed from the west side of the zoo to the east passing along my way the former small mammal house which has been converted into a Spider House. This is completely fitting given the creepy state of the place on my previous visits. I did not go in to check it out. I also passed the Federalist Style mini-Mansion called The Solitude that was the original estate on this land. It was built and owned by one of William Penn's grandsons.
Finally, I ended at a crossroads with Flamingos to my right, and the path to the exit on the left. Choosing left, I soon encountered the space that has been home to Red Kangaroos and Emus. Only Emus were out on this day.
A fiscal reckoning of the adventure would come out to: $102.90.
This would include:
1 - $35.90 in gas for my car
2 - $18.00 for highway tolls along the way
3 - $43.00 for admission and parking at the zoo
4 - $6.00 for a pretzel and mustard
Excluded:
1 - Other food
2 - Admission to the Philadelphia Museum of Art
3 - Parking at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
