Part of Philadelphia Zoo's Zoo360 trail system passes overhead. This first-in-the-world system of overhead, ground-level, and aquatic trails was created in 2012 and has expanded ever since, growing from an idea that began in 2006 in Big Cat Falls. Plans for this award-winning habitat included a network of enclosed overhead pathways that cats could use to move from one area to another, making it easier to move them between places while giving them a new experience, often high above the ground. By building Zoo360, the zoo expanded in a new direction despite being confined on all sides of its campus, while giving its animals opportunities to explore in a way unique to Philadelphia Zoo.
