Originally
constructed in 1902, the Sugar Bowl, so named
due to its lid-shaped domed roof, was used as
both a pavilion and an observatory. It once
stood as the entrance to the Brandywine Zoo.
For decades, the domed pavilion served as a
venue for musical and cultural programs and
as a gathering place for park visitors.
Help us make history repeat itself
and support our goal to complete Sugar Bowl
reconstruction for future generations to enjoy!
