What To Expect

Central Park Zoo

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.

Nice little zoo with lots to do and a good selection of animals, and if you get there at the right time you can see the animals feeling time

We booked this visit after a walking tour of Central Park and we were in the area. It is a relatively small zoo, but there's enough to entertain for a few hours. The sea lions were particularly entertaining. The warmth in the Tropic Zone was welcome on a cold February day. Unfortunately we didn't see the bears, and the Red Panda was tucked away keeping warm. We did see the Snow Monkeys and the Snow Leopards who were also entertaining as they were play fighting. We missed the Penguin feeding time, but saw them in their area. The water splashes on the windows made them hard to see, but they were quite enjoyable to watch waddling around. Inside the Tropic Zone were birds and parrots given free range to fly around. There were snakes, bats and reptiles kept within cages. Overall, probably not the best time of year for a visit, but it was well worthwhile.

Loved loved loved it! Such an amazing experience . We took our son while we were here in New York for his 9th birthday . It was such a beautiful place . We were able to feed the goats and sheep. We saw the sea lions, penguins, and leopards. I would definitely go back again . It was very cold but they did have a cafeteria inside which we were able to get some hold chocolate and warm up . This is a must see spot if you’re ever in New York with or without kids !
