Visit: Central Park Zoo, East 64th Street 5th Avenue, New York City, NY 10021
The zoo is open every day of the year and features three major biomes: the Tropic Zone, Temperate Territory, and the Polar Circle. From tropical birds, to snow leopards, grizzly bears, and one of the nation’s largest colonies of Antarctic penguins, there are animals to enjoy in every season. We also feature the Tisch Children’s Zoo, a playful adventure for our youngest guests who’ll encounter goats, sheep, some of the world’s most unique ducks, and the only cow who calls Manhattan home. Our goal is to inspire our visitors and connect them to the plight of animals in the wild and the conservation work we’re doing to protect them.

The animals were interesting, but the zoo is tiny. It seems to be an expensive ticket for the feature. Spend ten dollars more and you can see the MET.

Zoo is small but a lot of personalities live there from the feisty sea lions to adorable red pandas. Missed the snow leopard he was playing hide and seek.
Did a good job.

We had a morning to spare following our cruise, before our flight home.
The zoo was great, & 4D Theatre show was brilliant.

Although it’s not the biggest zoo in the world still it’s really good choice for those having at least 1-2 spare hours in the city centre

Maybe it was the time of day/year or weather - BUT … while the staff was great - I left feeling depressed. A few parrots didn’t look so great… repetitive itching, I’m not sure if molting but just discomforting. One of the brown bears was pacing and making the same repeated head bob during the pacing - seemed very stressed. I left feeling guilty and wanting to reach out to the zoo with my concerns - but you have to be a member to email them.

It is amazing experience for kids to see animals in their natural environment and how they behave. It does not seem like you are in Central Park, and a lot is packed into a small space.
I loved the red panda exhibit to test which nest they liked best.
I feel the staff can take a cue from Disney and consider the overall guest experience.

Cute but small zoo. Fun way to spend a couple hours. It’s sad that some enclosures are too small for the animals in them though. Hope they make some bigger, especially the sea lions and large turtle in the children’s zoo.

NEVER BOOK THESE EXPERIENCES WITH VIATIR!!!! They will not work with you to resolve any problems…… Go in person to the attractions to purchase tickets.
