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.

Not knowing what to expect, this was a very pleasant surprise for us all. Ms 21, 19 & 17 thoroughly enjoyed it. Educational fun visit including the Kids Zoo. Was fun watching our otherwise grown up children being kids again.

There were only small animals like birds, seals, penguins, red pandas, and monkeys for adults. Children side only has farm animals. We were very disappointed hoping to see giraffes, elephants, lions, hippos, and such.

A friend and I visited the zoo on New Years Day as it was one of the few places open. It wasn’t hugely busy so we were able to walk around to each enclosure freely, however all the animals just looked sad. Their enclosures where way too small for them and looked very old and run down. There was no toys or entertainment for them (especially the bears), the swans water in their enclosure looked almost stagnant it was that filthy and looked more like a small pond than any place for them to swim. The owl that was in a cage next to the penguin enclosure was horrendous! That beautiful creature looked so sad and depressed, in a tiny cage, less than 4/5 measures high and 2 metres wide, just looking up at the sky. It was really heartbreaking! The sea lions seemed to to having a run time in their enclosure, however I question whether they were having fun or if they were keeping the boredom at bay as they only had a small circle to swim around in. The only positive I can really say for the zoo was the tropical area in doors. As this allowed several birds to roam free and at least get a little room to fly. Over all, my friend and I were very disappointed with the experience we had and heart broken for all of the animals. The zoo was one of the things on my NY list if things to do I was most excited about, but now all I can think about his the looks on their faces (I’m not even being over dramatic, I love zoo’s but this upset me). I hope with the money the zoo receives on a daily basis, they put it to good use and expand and update the enclosures before they consider doing anything else.
