Philadelphia joins a host of amazing Zoos that combine most of their Big Cats in a single complex, like the Memphis Zoo, the St. Louis Zoo and the Little Rock Zoo. Big Cat Falls first opened to the public in 2006, and was overhauled and updated in 2025. I was very much impressed by all of the upgrades, and got to experience a wide range of the zoos' large feline species.
The benefits of the upgrades, while cosmetic in some ways, were apparent from the moment I entered. They gave a fresh clean feel to everything and honestly left me wondering at moments if I'd even ever seen certain aspects of the complex before in previous visits.
