Central Park Zoo

I went on a Monday in January, it was nice & quiet, no lines or crowds. I saw the Penguins & Sea Lions being fed which was great fun. There's another section of the zoo that's a petting zoo with goats & other farmyard animals to feed. The only thing I didn't see were the snow leopards, they must've been asleep. I really enjoyed the 4D movie theater, don't miss it! I saw 3 things that I didn't like: one of the Grizzly bears was pacing up & down for a long time, whilst rescued as a cub because its mother was shot for being in a residential area, & definitely well cared for here, the bear obviously isn't that happy in captivity. I saw a sad penguin that looked like it wanted to leave too. And a couple of long tailed birds in a small enclosure that seemed frantic to get out, these are the things made me sad about zoos. Anyway the staff are superb & all the creatures are cared for 100% . I imagine it gets busy at peak times, so maybe better in the week. Watch out for the squirrels if you eat outside the cafe, they're fearless & relentless at trying to get to your food, they will get in your face & touch your stuff so beware.

This zoo may be small, but it’s absolutely worth a visit! Conveniently located in Central Park, it offers a charming and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages. The variety of small animals and birds is delightful—you can watch them, listen to their calls, and even interact with some. One of the highlights is the sea lion feeding, which happens several times a day and is both entertaining and educational. The intimate size of the zoo makes it easy to navigate, allowing you to fully enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. A perfect stop for nature and animal lovers in the heart of the city!

a very creative place to put a zoo - shows you how big central park actually is. a lovely day out, especially if the weathers good and you have kids. the only down part is how small the enclosures are. for wild animals especially the snow leopard and bears, the enclosures are tiny in comparisons to what they require. the walk ways and parts made for the guests (where the benches are located etc.) are much larger than the animal enclosures which is a shame.

Cute, small zoo, good for kids right in Central Park! Our favorite part was the birds in the tropical area. We always love the small quiet home away from home feeling you get at Central Park in the middle of all the hub bub of the city. They also offer a 4d viewing of a movie, and a Cafe and gift shop.

Such a fun and cute little zoo! We loved exploring all the animals habitats and the exhibits. The staff were very friendly and the animals seemed well taken care of. We loved the sea lions, red pandas, and the tropical bird exhibits! We had so much fun and the zoo was not too large so you do not get overwhelmed. A perfect day or a half day event, we will definitely be back!
