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.

Good activity for young kids

Small zoo with cute animal shows and petting zoo outside the main zoo area. We didn’t go see the movie but we enjoyed the zoo.

Enjoy the Day

Just Enjoy! Beautiful weather, spend the day taking in a little nature in the heart of New York City. Grab lunch at Tavern on the Green to add a special touch.

Small zoo but cute & interesting animals. We walked slow and relaxed on a bench in the shade to wait for the seal show. It was nice to watch the birds and squirrels for awhile. The 4d show was also cute too!

Small But Great Zoo Visit

We visited Central Park Zoo during our trip and really enjoyed it. It wasn’t as big as I originally thought it would be, but we still spent a good 45 minutes to an hour walking around and looking at the animals. It was also really quiet when we went, which made it nice and relaxing to walk around without big crowds. The zoo is well kept and easy to get around, making it a nice stop if you’re already visiting Central Park.

Cute zoo

Cute little zoo. The 4D theater was a cute experience. It’s good for little kids. We had a coupon but it may be a little over priced.

Wonderful first time visit!

This was so fun! I love how the enclosures allow you to get closer to the animals than a lot of other zoos. Small but beautiful zoo!

Fun!

We went to see the seals but they were not performing on Thursday. My daughter loves the seals and she was a bit sad that she couldn’t see them. But she enjoyed everything else. The penguins feeding and the 3D movies and the farm animals and the birds and the bears.

Small, quaint zoo with some amazing creatures on display.

After visiting NYC multiple times and only ever sneaking into central park at the top of 6th, we decides to dedicate a day to activities in and around that area. It was a very cold day but bundles up against the cold we headed to the zoo for about 10am and took in all the attractions and were done in a few hours, including the childrens zoo
