NORRISTOWN, PA, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The spring season may be on the horizon, but Elmwood Park Zoo isn’t ready to say goodbye to the winter festivities just yet.

As a staple of the winter festivities, the twenty-foot ice slide from Ice Concepts is back for another round of fun. Guests can slide into all of the excitement with style and flair. They can then take a spin on the carousel or warm up by the fire while they create delicious s’mores.
