Philadelphia Zoo + Lunch at Cosmic Café

Join us for a relaxed afternoon of good food, conversation, and a visit to the Philadelphia Zoo!

We'll start by meeting for lunch at Cosmic Café (1 Boathouse Row, Philadelphia, PA 19130) around 1:00 PM. It's a great opportunity to get to know everyone before we head over to the zoo.

Around 3:00 PM, we'll make our way to the Philadelphia Zoo (3400 W Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19104). The zoo is about a 20-minute walk from the café, so you're welcome to walk with the group or drive over—whichever you prefer.

Once we arrive, we'll explore the zoo at a relaxed pace, stopping to see our favorite animals and enjoying the afternoon together.

## ⚠️ Disclaimer

This event is not intended to function as an autism support group, therapy session, or professional support service. While we aim to create an inclusive and welcoming environment, Divertical Philly is primarily a casual social meetup group focused on fun activities, community, and making connections.

Our events are generally light on autism-related discussion and are not designed to provide therapeutic, medical, or crisis support. If you are looking for autism-specific resources or professional support services, we encourage connecting with qualified professionals or organizations that specialize in those areas.

We ask all attendees to be respectful, kind, and understanding of one another so everyone can enjoy a welcoming and comfortable social experience.
We look forward to seeing you for a fun afternoon of food, conversation, and exploring the zoo!
