    The Central Park Zoo is a convenient location for our kids to explore wildlife. The good in the cafe was good, but slightly more expensive than what we would be able to get from other places (which was as expected). We got a 10% discount from the cafe with our membership. The number of exhibits was good, not too many to kill me from dragging my kids around, and enough for the kids to spend hours. It’s nice that some of the birds were just walking around free style. I was a little concerned about the birds’ safety, but making sure the kids does not accidentally step in the birds’ way will help not to scare them or the kids. We were fortunate enough to see the snow leopard, but the bears were not there (which was a pity as my son loves bears). We can always go back to see again as the ticket for my kid was just $8.95. It’s a nice spot to hangout with little friends right in there in Central Park!

    Excellent zoo for an afternoon. The sea lion and penguin feedings are cool. The sea lions do a whole show. The bears are majestic. Nice tropical exhibit with the birds and warmth. Food court and shop provides all the zoo foods for kids to munch.

    Keeping in mind this is a small zoo, and our main attraction was that my son watched a lot of Penguins of Madagascar, we really enjoyed our visit. By far our favourite thing was the Tropic area with all the birds. We visited that a second time on our way out. I recommend reading the ticket descriptions because the main ticket that is advertised for $19something is a combination ticket including a movie. We were interested in the movie so we bought the general admission ticket for $13something

    Central Park is like no other I’ve been to… a vast oasis in a bustling city. It has lakes and large boulder formations all rolling up and down in a beautiful landscape. Lots of benches to sit and watch the joggers and dog walkers in equal measure and plenty of large established trees and trails. The John Lennon memorial and don’t forget the zoo. You could spend days just exploring this beautiful park and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise. Don’t miss it if you visit New York.

    Lovely zoo in the heart of New York. It's certainly not the largest zoo- as a matter of fact, it's quite small. But in my opinion that's a positive. It's possible to hit every animal location during a single day trip, and you don't really get tired of walking during the trip. There are still quite a few different areas to see. It is important to note that this is mainly just a zoo, not a zoo with an aquarium like some other places, so there aren't many sea animal exhibits. Despite going on a Friday afternoon during the summer, the zoo was not very packed and my partner and I navigated the whole zoo fairly easily. The best part is after your trip, you have easy access to the rest of Central park and Manhattan, so your day trip can go on after the zoo. Overall, I definitely think this is a great zoo to visit. If you come in expecting too grand of a zoo you might leave a little disappointed. But if you know ahead of time that it's not a huge zoo then it will definitely be a great trip

    Small but beautiful zoo at and exceptional location. Has indoor and outdoor animal exhibits. I really liked the sea lion show, indoor tropical zone and the penguin exhibit. Grizzly bear is at a beautiful location with a waterfall and a small river. Definitely recommended. Has a separate children's petting zoo.

    Very nice, small, zoo. The experience here is not about visiting and seeing animals as this is not the biggest zoo around. It's about the walking around in Central Park and watching people around. There is couple of closed-room, temperature-controlled exhibits like the Tropical room, or the Penguin show. The best (fun) one is the sea lions. Nice show! Try to get there at 3:30 for the feeding session, which has a very nice show with staff feeding and playing with sea lions.

    This would have earned 5 stars from me but loses one for my visit due to unfavourable weather and some areas closed. The site is huge, you could spend a whole day walking to get round every Zone. It's nice to see animals in enclosures, not cages, ethically scores well. On a fine day, the east side would give you fine views across the Downs, the areas around the Penguin enclosure and River cottage in particular have great views. Plenty of picnic tables dotted around the site, but would advise bringing your own food as catering quite expensive. Perhaps my favourite enclosure today was the giraffe enclosure as I was able to see them quite close. Bring good walking shoes and also a good zoom camera if you want close ups of the animals as, given the size of the enclosures, they can be some distance away. I would go again, but next Spring in better weather and hopefully with everything open.

    The Central Park Zoo is a 6.5-acre (2.6 ha) zoo located at the southeast corner of Central Park in New York City. It is part of an integrated system of four zoos and one aquarium managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). In conjunction with the Central Park Zoo's operations, the WCS offers children's educational programs, is engaged in restoration of endangered species populations, and reaches out to the local community through volunteer programs.

    I love Zoos. No matter the size or location, but the fact that this Zoo is in the middle of Central Park makes it that much cooler to me! It'll maybe take you an hour to get through which is nice for a quick trip! The Zoo itself is super clean! We enjoyed our time the most in the Tropics exhibit.

    Nice little zoo in the heart of Central Park. Ticket includes a 4D short film experience, Tisch Children’s Zoo, and the Central Park zoo. For the children’s zoo, the goats and sheep’s might walk up to the fence and you can pet them (fun for all ages). In the main Central Park zoo, the animals are fairly close so you’ll be able to see them (some aren’t very active), you must go see the red panda! The tropic area might include some very close encounters with the birds. The ant colonies are very interesting too and the penguin and sea lion feedings are fun to watch. Overall, very fun experience for all ages.

    This zoo is surprisingly large for being in the middle of Central Park. We became members which entitles us to free entry to any of NYC's zoos. On a hot day we always start out with the tropics exhibit. If your lucky you may even get to see Mr. Peacock 🦚 showing his feathers. Be mindful where you stand as there may be a bird overhead. The red panda is always adorable, and if your lucky you may catch a glimpse of one of 2 snow leopards, a critically endangered species that few zoos have. Check out feeding time for the two harbor seals, who listen better than most dogs. 2 young Grizzly bears, the penguins and sea lions round out this zoo great for an afternoon with kids, or the kids at heart.

    Pleasantly surprised by the small little zoo. Honestly, I didn’t want to go but my wife insisted. Admission is less than $15 for adults and the zoo really delivers on the price point. Not a lot of exhibits but the ones they have are well stocked and entertaining. I recommend visiting during the seal feeding, very talented trainers.

    Everyone tells you how big Central Park is, but you can never really understand until you’re there! Everything is so much better than you can imagine! It’s so big and clean and refreshing. The trails are a work of art in the way that they work with the landscaping to make it feel more organic and not like someone just cut flat trails. You really need an entire day (or 2!) to really see everything here. Lots of paths for walking, running, or biking mean it’s easy to get some good exercise in while seeing a beautiful park.

    Beautiful ✨ park with a family-friendly atmosphere! I had a great time here; seeing all of the animals and learning all of the interesting facts was a fantastic way to spend the day. The zoo is beautifully landscaped and surrounded by gardens. There are numerous benches to rest on. There are water stations where you can refill your bottle. It's incredible to see a zoo in the heart of the city. Before entering the zoo, don't miss the musical clock. Definitely a place to go and more than once!!

    Worth going for the seals! They are the main attraction and located in the center of the zoo. We watched a live feeding and it was great. The kids loved it. The zoo is well manicured surrounded by gorgeous gardens. Lots of benches to rest on. There are water stations to fill your water bottle. It is amazing to see a zoo in the middle of the city. We also loved the rainforest section. We were not able to see some of the animals in their enclosures. It is a small zoo compared to the zoos we have been to but it is perfect for young children. I would give it 5 stars if we saw all the animals. It was a fun day in the city!

    small zoo that is built and maintained with a lot of love. The staff were very nice and helpful. The price is very good at $13 for an adult. Well worth it, especially the sea lion show! Next time again.

    Very cool place. Loved that it was in the middle of central park so it's accessable. Got to see a lot of cool animals, and the reptile and bird enclosures were awesome. All the enclosures were well thought out and seemed big enough for the species inside. Sometimes slippery especially in the bird enclosure as its very humid. A few exhibits were under maintenance so there were some parts we missed. Lovely staff, the birds are surprisingly friendly, and the children's zoo was pretty good too. Decent prices.

    What a beautiful day to enjoy a nice walk at the Central Park Zoo! We purchased our tickets quite fast and we didn’t wait to get in at all while there were no lines. We visited on a weekday though. The place was very clear and all employees were nice and knowledgeable. We spent an hour walking around and we saw snow monkeys, leopards, bears, penguins and a lot of other beautiful animals. It’s the right place to take your family and see something different in the heart of Manhattan. Kids will love this place. The park is not that big.

    It’s my second time in this Zoo first was 17years ago at summertime with my daughter now 2days ago with my son. We had really great time. The penguins the seals I can watch them for hours. Monkeys red panda snow leopard we enjoyed it all. Had a beautiful sunny day walk around with a hot chocolate it’s kept us warm. The park clean and nice it’s fun even the cold winter days to visit plus I got ticket from Groupon $15 with the code you can schedule your time when you would like to visit…don’t forget to watch the 4D movie after the zoo. We didn’t buy anything from the gift shop, but the store have 2 rooms with many plush animals. A cute little zoo . I love the Madagascar movie so this zoo even more close to me 😊

    Great zoo to visit. While there isn't as much to see compared to other zoos, it is also comparatively cheaper to enter. My wife and I really enjoyed watching the penguins get fed. They also have an aviary with a lot of cool birds that was fun to walk through.

    Nice small zoo. Some exotic animals and birds. But still, small. Plan to only be here <2 hours. Some exhibits were under maintenance during the day, I feel that should be done during non-operating hours. Not when you have customers.

    Although they don’t have hundreds of species like anyother zoo but still it was nice experience and we loved at least the solo performance of seals 😋 kids loved it and they were really excited, the park is really big and it was a nice experience. The staff were very cooperative and they guide you properly. If you have kids they would love the visit.

    I flipping loved this zoo! It was a highlight of my trip to New York and so cheap to get into. It was an easy walk and lots of fun. I saw an annoyed grizzly bear that was pacing back and forwards. They are big. A seriously adorable red panda who played to eat her food. She was so fluffy you just wanted to pet her. We even saw the snow leopard catch a squirrel right in front of us. There were a lot of gasps and a scream from 1 lady. Plus piranhas and so many different beautiful exotic birds. Definitely worth the $13.95 and more.

    If you want to have a good time with the kiddos while in NYC, then you have to come to the park! It isn't huge but it definitely has some cool animals! They have some pretty cool sea lions and tigers and birds. I love how it's a small sanctuary in the middle of the city. Definitely something worth checking out, especially with children!

    It was a wonderful family day outing, and my mother truly enjoyed the experience. Tigers are her favorite! It was an easy layout to walk - an important consideration for older folks in our group. And... the Orangutan exhibit is the best! :+)

  • 1/5 Lisa U. 3 years ago on Google
    So sad to see some of the animals’ bare minimum habitats :( there were like 20 huge parrots in a tiny cage with barely enough space for them all to stand - please give them more room! I also felt the orangutans’ pen was awful - no trees or nature and just a few clumps of hay on concrete and some metal poles. Honestly, I didn’t see one exhibit where I felt like they had a great set up and were happy. I really hope the zoo stops trying to bring in new animals and instead puts that money toward improving the habitats of the many wonderful animals they already have!! Until then, going to this zoo just supports profit over animal welfare and is very sad to see.

    I've visited this zoo for over 10 times now and I will keep coming back. Sitting in the center of Manhattan and surrounded by skyscrapers, this zoo has its unique character. The exhibits are diverse (considering the size) and well maintained. The staff are professional and polite. The sea lion feeding time is a high light but all the exhibits are worthy for both visitors and locals.

    Beautiful park & Family friendly! I had lots of fun here, seeing all the animals and reading the little facts was a great way to spend the day. Every animal made frequent yet equally cute appearances. My personal favorites were the red panda & the two snow leopards! Still providing a safe & sanitized environment to come see all the fun furry friends, 100% worth it!

    I can see why the Central Park Zoo is a favorite of my youngest grandson. It's a nice little zoo. I saw a menagerie of animals such as penguins, sea lions, a red panda, monkeys, and exotic birds among many others. They also have a children's petting zoo. It's an easy walkable 6.5 acre with some inclines. The place is clean and well maintained. Surprisingly, the zoo is affordable. Plus, they also have a nice gift shop. It is another one of many reasons to visit Central Park.

    Small but mighty. You can expect the average visit to be 1-1.5 hours. Wonderful variety of animals on display. admission fees include entrance to the Main Zoo and Children's Zoo. Great 4D movie that should be a feature length. In the children's Zoo the feed machines are open from 10am-2pm daily. There is a fee to purchase feed from the feed machines.

    This zoo has a few attractions but certainly fascinating enough to keep the kids excited. Its location within Central Park makes it a good add-on for a visit to the area. Be sure to check out the penguins who were animated and always seemed ready to put on a show for visitors.

    Advice ⬇️ If you are in NYC it worth the visit, especially if you have toddler/s. My 2 years old was amazed when she saw goats, sheep’s, and the seals (maybe not seals 😅) swimming in the pool. You would see some beautiful photos in reviews but don’t expect to see all these animals, it’s a kind of luck, not all out or seen. At least you don’t pay much like Bronx zoo (u can find my review on it’s page here). The penguin place was so dark you barely see them, you would be lucky if you been there in their lunch time. My advice to whom visiting with baby stroller, to come light, cause you can’t take it inside the closed areas.

  • 3/5 Jennifer R. 3 years ago on Google
    This zoo was okay. We road trip a lot and there are much better zoos out there to visit. We got to do the dolphin encounter which was unique. However, we felt rushed through it and it was a lot of money for only a several-minute experience. We did a quick walk-thru of the zoo and it was more than enough. *I would not visit this place during COVID. Many people took their masks off when they got inside and there was no accountability for it.

    We took our 3 kids here and were all left depressed. The primates looked like inmates. Sad and depressed. Enclosures were too small for most animals. The wolves tore up a turkey or another large bird. Deer missing fur with cuts on their skin. I feel awful supporting this business. It's like they lost funding and gave up. We just did not feel good about this.

    I love the Akron Zoo. They are always doing something fun to get the community involved. They've also been doing an excellent job keeping their facility clean during the pandemic and making sure all precautions are in place and being upheld. Seeing the Christmas lights this time of year is a great tradition for us!

    I'm not sure why but I thought there would be more to it. Not sure if it's worth 40$ just for two people with how limited it is. I did enjoy the stuff they did have though. Kind of felt bad about the snow leopard because of how hot it was and well, it's a snow leopard... The red panda was super adorable though and the penguins were fantastic.

    This zoo was fun, but it's not the best I've seen. The animals seemed to be well cared for; the jungle area was warm to suit the animals and the arctic area was colder (and smelled like penguins). It was a pretty good experience, though we weren't there long. Lots of pic opportunities.

    This was my second time here and I loved it just as much! The zoo in itself isn't too big, you can see everything in 1h/1h30, but there's still so much to see! My favorites are the bears (adorable!) and the red panda (even more adorable) but all the animals here are worth seeing. Would recommend sticking around for the sea lions feeding !

I bought a ticket online so it was easy and not crowded to walk inside. Prepare yourself for some walking and running after the kids.

    Wonderful respite from the hussle and bustle of Manhattan. With nicely designed lush gardens; even the animal enclosures were pleasing to the eyes and quite pleasant habitats for the animals, I think. The park offered enough shady areas to cool from the heat and parts for special events. Though there were not a lot of animals like other zoos, they had just enough for a leisurely enjoyable exhibit: like the beautiful snow leopard, the bears in a rocky habitat with a refreshing water falls ( for the bears- it was a hot day), the seals that were doing tricks during their feeding time and such cute penguins in their icy enclosure ( seem to be having some ritual- they were all facing the wall?), turtles, monkeys, and some birds. I went with my teen grandson who has ASD & sister ( both of us seniors) - it was a very relaxing experience for everyone. Then we had ice cream and snacks in their cafe. All the zoo staff were friendly and very helpful!

    It's not the biggest zoo I have ever been to and unfortunately Alex the lion from the Madagascar movies is not there, but it's a great place to kick back and chill from the busy New York streets. There are lots of animals to see including; Sea lions, Penguins, three Grizzly Bears, a real cool snow leopard, amphibians and fish and tropical birds. They have a small cafe too. There is also an option of a movie on the more expensive tickets. It's small but perfect for a couple of hours with the kids.

    Great experience! It is a small zoo, but it is interesting for the whole family. You can see penguins, bears, sea lions, monkeys, and more there. Also, I recommend visiting the 4D theater. I spent $20 per 1 ticket for adults. The child's ticket was cheaper.

    I took a chance on a rainy day visit to the Central Park Zoo with my kids and it paid off! No crowds at all, and lots of places to get out of the rain when needed. Best of all literally every animal was out and about for us too see, even the bears, who are usually very solitary. Great viewing of the snow leopards who were casually preening each other’s, too cute. Next rainy weekend, avoid the crowds at the Natural History Museum and check out the Central Park Zoo!

    Great place to visit and bring your children for a nice and fun trip. There were so many animals to see in the water and on land. The employees were friendly and were helpful if you had any questions or concerns. Beautiful scenery and the park is large its not too crowded and they are open everyday. I would recommend reserving your tickets ahead of time online. Overall great experience.

    A fantastic zoo to visit in any season! There are lots of world-class exhibits to choose from. My personal favorites are the penguins (very nifty display where you can see them swim from one side of the room to the other, under the floor), the dolphins (cool underwater viewing dome for watching the swim around you), and the orangutans (very nice multi-story indoor structure for watching them play and climb, my three year old's favorite). Definitely a lot of must-see exhibits and a fantastic stop on a visit to Indianapolis.

    Kids had a great time at the zoo boo. Only thing was a hour wait for the train, lots of inpatient kids. Skip the train this time. We did appreciate that the train was sanitized between riders. Fun times...

    We visited on a rainy Thursday, but we still had a great time with very light crowds! The dolphin show was excellent! It was amazing that it was included with our admission and it was at no extra charge! Most of the animals here have large habitats, some not so much. They have many unique animals here, such as the dolphins as mentioned and walruses! The aquarium section was amazing as well.

    Its a pretty good zoo...i always have mixed feeling when it comes to animals in an enclosure as not all of them look so great. A lot of attention has been paid to the orangutan group amd from my understanding quite a few of them are rescues so I suppose their life is better now than it used to be. On another more positive note, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the crowds were not huge as I think they are operating under limited capacity. Even so alot of the food stands are currently closed. The place seemed clean and made for a wonderful family day out and if the weather is nice its worth the time to go.

    Visited Saturday October 3, 2020. First visit to New York City. Beautiful area in the midst of the city. Fairly clean for NYC. Friendly & helpful staff. Warning: the public restroom near kids playground area was horribly dirty & would not recommend! The clean restroom near the Cafe closes at 5PM. I recommend using the public restroom at the Oculus Center. There is plenty to see and enjoy at Central Park without spending a dime. Lots of street entertainment from giant bubbles to musicians. Pretty views. Relaxing spot to escape the hustle & bustle.

    Just the place. Staff worked wonders with covid 19 restrictions. Signage everywhere to show one way system where needed. Great time to visit just remember to pre book your time slot. The Great Big Brick Safari the one to follow, download your map to find all the Big Brick Animals. Just some of the animals to find in my photos. Remember to wear your face coverings at all eateries service counters and anywhere else you are asked too.

    Plenty of parking. When we arrived the car parks were already almost full but the reception was clear and plenty of covid safe information everywhere. There was plenty of animals to see and our favourite was the incredibly friendly goats and sheep, who loved some attention. The staff throughout the park were inviting, friendly and happy to give information about the animals. Some of the directions were a little confusing but that just meant you found some gems on your adventure.

    Our second visit and I remember why we place this zoo over London and Bristol zoos. Firstly parking is a doddle, plenty to go around and no lines so can get a space you can actually fit a car in. Secondly and obviously there are loads of animals. Great selection of big and small. Tigers and lions are a favourite although mine is the orangutan. There is plenty of variation in ways of seeing the animals which keeps the kids interested. Walkways, bridges, open air enclosures and buildings to walk through. The locations of the animals are well signposted. Be sure to visit the less busy areas like the reptile nursery and parrots, they are slightly off the beaten path. Under Covid we have had to book an entry time, but we could leave at whenever.

    We have visited Paignton Zoo many times and every time thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Huge park with lots to see and do, its very easy to spend a whole day here and would recommend minimum half a day otherwise you won't see everything. Can be quite hilly in parts and a long walk between sections so wear suitable comfortable footwear, I believe if needed they also supply on a bookable basis mobility scooters for those with walking or mobility difficulties which is very good. I am no expert (not even an amateur) in animal welfare but all the animals and creatures look happy, healthy and well looked after. Unless you are fortunate enough to live amongst these beautiful animals or can afford to go on a safari or travel the world then Zoos such as Paignton offer the only opportunity many of us will ever get to see these beautiful animals in the flesh. Please support Paignton Zoo and all the other Zoos, Wildlife Parks and Aquariums as much as you possibly can. These places and their beautiful animals and creatures, big and small, deserve our help and support, it will be a very sad world we will live in if we don't help save and preserve their existence. Thank-you Paignton Zoo, all your amazing hard working staff and of course your residents, we hope to visit you all again very soon. ❤

    This was a TINY zoo, only took about an hour and a half to walk, but it is pretty cute. The parrot in the tropical climate section was very friendly and liked pets. Be careful, he likes to nip, he was gentle, but it may not always be like that. Also, watch the squirrels, they steal food.

    I tried to get in to the zoo last year, and was reject because I was 17, and you need to be 18 or with an adult. I did not understand that, because it is a zoo, and zoos are child friendly. Other than that, the zoo was crowded, but the animals were interesting. It is a small zoo, and the displays show it.

    We went here on Christmas Eve day and it was magical to experience. Very little kid friendly zoo because it’s not too big but at the same time not too little either. It was easily laid out so you can stroll through with ease. Very nice clean restrooms as well. They are taking covid precautions very seriously too. You had to wear a mask and there was hand sanitizer everywhere. The animals were great! My favorite exhibits were the snow monkey and red panda! The kids loved every exhibit and the little children’s zoo was very fun for them to explore. The gift shop is awesome too. They need to sell a snow monkey souvenir of some sort though ;) I would’ve loved that personally. This was an amazing NYC thing to do. Highly highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

    Was our first time at Central Park zoo went down to take a test for a job. I worked in the city for years. Never been in Central Park. Brought my wife and 5-year-old down and after the test took them to Central Park zoo wasn't as big as I expected but definitely a good time. My son loved it and I'm sure anyone in the area that loves animals. It's not the Bronx zoo at all, but it's a good little fun thing to do while you're in the city. Time goes by quick.

    A very good zoo, not many animals but their places are beautifully set and give the animals options to run and climb and exercise. Red panda is totally the one to see, I returned twice to have one more look. Tropical birds are awesome and friendly, the blue parrot is a glutton for attention and might scream at you if ignored.

    Quite a small zoo, only took me and my husband about an hour to get through, but still worth a visit I think. The tickets are $19.95 each for adults. They have a mix of indoor and outdoor enclosures so you can escape the heat/cold (depending on the season.) The gift shop is also quite expansive. I'd suggest buying tickets ahead of time online.

Best of all got to experience the polar express in 4d, man they nailed the smell of hot chocolate, must try it out. Would never regret visiting the zoo or central park

    I recently visited Central Park Zoo, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! This hidden gem in the heart of New York City offers an unforgettable wildlife experience that deserves every one of its five stars. From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the park's picturesque surroundings. The lush greenery and tranquil ambiance create the perfect backdrop for this enchanting zoo. The well-maintained pathways lead you through various exhibits, each one more fascinating than the last. The diversity of animals at Central Park Zoo is truly remarkable. From majestic big cats to playful penguins, every creature seemed right at home in their carefully designed habitats. The staff's commitment to animal welfare is evident in the animals' behavior and their overall well-being. It's heartwarming to see such care and dedication from the zookeepers. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the sea lion feeding session. These intelligent and charming creatures put on an incredible show, showcasing their impressive skills and playful nature. It was a joy to witness their interactions with the knowledgeable and enthusiastic zookeepers. Another standout feature of the zoo is the Tisch Children's Zoo, a haven for kids and adults alike. The interactive exhibits allow visitors to get up close and personal with farm animals, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for these gentle creatures. Watching children's faces light up with wonder and curiosity was a heartening sight. The amenities and facilities provided by Central Park Zoo are top-notch. The clean restrooms, well-placed benches, and convenient food options made the experience even more enjoyable. The friendly and helpful staff members were always ready to assist, ensuring a seamless visit. Central Park Zoo is not just a place to admire wildlife; it's a vital institution committed to conservation and education. Their efforts in raising awareness about endangered species and the importance of preserving our natural world are commendable. Overall, Central Park Zoo offers an exceptional wildlife experience right in the heart of New York City. Whether you're a local looking for a peaceful escape or a tourist seeking a unique adventure, this zoo is a must-visit. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to reconnect with nature and experience the magic of the animal kingdom. Prepare to be amazed!

The red pandas are my favorite animals at the zoo. They're so cute and fluffy! I love watching them climb around their tree and play with each other. The zoo is also a great place to learn about animals. There are signs all over the exhibits that explain the animals' natural habitats and behaviors. I would definitely recommend the Central Park Zoo to anyone visiting New York City. It's a great place to spend a few hours and learn about some amazing animals.

    I always love strolling around the Central Park Zoo. It’s smaller than some other NYC zoos such a the Bronx Zoo so its much less overwhelming in my experience. You can see a really good variety of animals in beautiful enclosures in an average 2-3 hours. This makes it popular for parents with small children or anyone looking to enjoy some time at the zoo without committing to spending their whole day there.

The tropical bird house is spectacular and always a fun experience with the birds moving freely. Pinguin and seal/sea lion feedings are always a pleasure. Coming to the zoo is just such a quintessential New York experience. We come at least once a year and it is always wonderful and memorable!

    I have always been a fan of this zoo. They hold great holiday events and the staff is always courteous and informative. I have attended a few wedding in the botanical gardens and it's a gorgeous wedding venue.

    I take my daughter to the zoo every year and we always have such a great time. The Zoo has such a wide array of animals, some I've never seen at other Zoos! The only negative is the cost of entry.. It is always really, really expensive. Otherwise a great Zoo!

    I paid alot of money but barely got to see that many animals. I know it was cold so now I know dont go to the zoo in the winter.we seen more people at the zoo then animals. Very disappointed

  • 2/5 Susanna G. 3 years ago on Google
    Not worth the price during winter as most of the animals are inside.

  • 5/5 Kate F. 3 years ago on Google
    Christmas at the zoo was lovely and a great way to have some family time without too much covid risk. Obviously not all animals are active in the winter and at night, so we didn't get to see giraffes, elephants and such. But it was really nice. There were some lines to get into the inside exhibits but they moved quickly. Much less crowded due to covid.

  • 4/5 Tracey A. 3 years ago on Google
    Christmas at the Zoo was beautiful (as always). There were quite a few people attending the event (actually all sold out when we went). Although the zoo limited the total amount of visitors, there were long lines at every attraction but seemed to move quickly. The staff was friendly and the zoo was very clean. Enjoyable!

    Okay winter time I get it. COVID year, I understand that too. A military discount was hardly a discount especially this time of year 1/2 of the exhibits were inop/shut down.

  • 3/5 Review G. 3 years ago on Google
    It was great, it was very fun. The lights were absolutely beautiful. I felt that some of the displays were dirty or there wasnt enough for the chimpanzees. Looked more like a cage. Just a bunch of cardboard boxes on the ground and no backgrounds or anything. It was sad.

  • 1/5 Carla R. 3 years ago on Google
    Took my 2 yr old grandson to the zoo today, wish they would have advised prior to purchasing tickets that there are only a handful of animals to see. The price is the same as when they are all there. Really disappointed. Won't go back in the winter months again.

  • 4/5 Debra E. 3 years ago on Google

    The zoo was a Christmas wonderland it does end on the 30th December on the lights. But the animal where very active and was a fun time.

    (Translated by Google) An extraordinary price for a place that has nothing to offer. The sadness of the animals and the lack of them attract attention ... I don't know what is happening, but it is a miracle that an animal protection group has not made campaigns to help protect those who are there and perhaps offer shelter to others who need it ... I don't know if it is related to the covid but I felt abandoned the place ... With the 30.00 that is paid per entrance I do not think it is due to lack of funds ... I hope they receive help. ..the families need that space and the animals that exist are already in captivity unless they receive better care, and if they are not going to improve anything, lower the price and do not make false advertisements. (Original) Un precio extraordinario para un lugar que no tiene nada que ofrecer. La tristeza de los animales y la falta de los mismo llaman la atención...no se que este pasando,pero es un milagro que un grupo de protección a los animales no hallan hecho campañas para ayudar a proteger a los que allí están y quizás ofrezcan refugio a otros que lo necesita...no se si se relaciona con el covid pero senti abandonado el lugar...Con los 30.00 que se pagan por entrada no creo que sea por falta de fondos...Espero que reciban ayuda...las familias necesitan ese espacio y los animales que hay están ya que están en cautiverio al menos que reciban una mejor atención, y si no van a mejorar nada que bajen el precio y no hagan falsas propagandas.

    It's really nice here. I got my ticket from a kiosk at the zoo entrance. The ticket gave me access to both the main zoo and the children's zoo.

    The zoo itself was very easy to follow and ensured you didn't miss anything. Most of the closures are in wonderful condition and the animals appear to be happy. Even during these times we felt as though we were kept safe and there was plenty of safety precautions in place.

  • 5/5 Miranda W. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely zoo and well cared for gardens. We enjoyed the Lego exhibition despite the rain. There was a lack of social distancing in the crocodile house and the queue outside, this needed policing a bit better really as the general public seem to forget about it in all the zoo excitement. A great day out overall, would recommend a visit.

  • 4/5 Alison S. 3 years ago on Google
    I was happy to visit during the restrictions and felt confident with the one way system that was in place on certain walkways. A keep to the left system is in place while walking around the zoo and it's easy enough for people to follow. There is plenty of signage and pavement signs to help people remember. There is plenty of hand sanitiser available all around the zoo and the toilets have every other cubicle unavailable. Understandably some enclosures are closed to the public but that doesn't take away a good day out.

  • 5/5 ricardoelysee 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best zoos in the UK. Really well laid out and amazing selection of animals. As with all zoos the animals never look as happy as in the wild, but zoos do play an important part in conservation and it seems the Paignton zookeepers and staff do take good care of the animals.

    I'd have had a considerablely better day if I didn't have to que ages for an overpriced micro latte, and then have to que again in a separate line for hot food. Mcdonalds will be getting my £6.75 My friend (who is more patient than I am) waited in the second que. However, ended up having to choose chips or he'd have to wait longer. I'm not sure if they realise its lunchtime? No wonder the elephant died, if it takes this long to get food. Still scores 3 stars, as you can't bring your own lion

  • 5/5 CornwallFamilyLife 3 years ago on Google
    So much to see and do and we visited in the off season. Staff were friendly and helpful. Literally hundreds of hand sanitizing stations. Well worth the entry price to see a huge variety of animals over a massive site. Plenty of places to eat, benches to sit down and play areas and toilets.

    We arrived to be parked in a car park accross the road even though we noticed that there was plenty of parking in the main car park , so why direct people accross the road before the car park was full was totally unnecessary. So few animals , lots of empty cages , the kids were walking round saying ' another empty cage , another empty cage !!! ' very disappointing ... saw giraffas, and rinhos ... lots of birds, but to much greenery so couldnt see them very well , I understand its nice to have a more natural invironment but you do need to see them as well... The only other thing to do was the train which you had to pay extra for and again a disappointing... lot of money for a overpriced day , and then we couldnt get in the shop due to a hugh queue , but only a few in the shop , understand the need to space out but not very well organised !!

    Absolutely fantastic day out despite many areas being closed for various reasons, coronavirus included. A lot of the animals are in nice large open spaces and you are able to get very nearby and up-close. We spent about 4hrs here and despite the rain was an afternoon very well spent. I'm not sure if we just turned up an a good day but all the inhabitants we're very active and friendly. Had to dock 1 star because of parking rage and people taking up 1.5 spaces making it difficult for us to find a spot. (The overflow car park was not in use the day we went)

  • 5/5 samijayne D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Rashmi B N. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely zoo, grounds are maintained nicely and clean. Animal enclosures also look well maintained. Four stars because the space allocated for animals is not very big, it will be so much better if they could increase the space allocated for animal enclosures, feels sad to see these lovely furry beings kept in small enclosures (especially the big cats and giraffes, elephants).

  • 5/5 Zoe R. 3 years ago on Google
    I went here after it reopened, the place is very vast so really easy to socially distance, it was a really nice day out, pack food with you as most of their kiosks are closed at the moment and it's quite a vast site, so you want not want to walk back to the main shop area. But the toilets are still open.

  • 3/5 Denese H. 3 years ago on Google
    I really enjoy the freedom of the zoo and the safety factor for children.😊 However atm there aren't many animals there compared to the last time I visited..alot of the cages were empty to the point I felt we should have had some kind of Discounted entry price 🙄 Due to COVID 19 the show's weren't on I.e birds..sea lions ..farm animal interaction, and the playgrounds are closed!! Large Cats slept pretty much all day! kids were disappointed because the viewing area didn't provide good view of them😔 We were there from 10am to 4pm. Best View Butterflies, Elephants and Giraffes 🥰🥰 Zoo is tidy, bathrooms are clean. Some animals roam free I.e mini kangaroos, hares and some birds.

  • 5/5 Karl D. 3 years ago on Google

    Another fabulous trip to ZSL Whipsnade today! The staff are really going above and beyond to help people move around the zoo safely. Hand sanitising stations are everywhere you need them to be and the very friendly staff help control how many people are going in and out of indoor spaces. Everything looks really clean and well maintained including the animal enclosures. Can’t wait to go back!

    Love coming to this zoo. Big, wide open spaces. Great for a day out and walk in the fresh air whatever the weather. If you enjoy photography this place is superb with the large animal enclosures and surrounding countryside. Free parking as well which in today’s age of charging for everything is very welcome. Would be good to see incentives for EV cars being allowed in to the zoo without paying extra or at the least at a discounted rate.

    Amazing Zoo. Every easy to social distance. Highly recommend going over the covid festive period. They really need to do something about the speed of people driving round the zoo though. Twice we nearly got run over because people broke the speed limit, made worse with young excited children running around.

  • 5/5 FT K. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliant. The 7 year old niece absolutely loves the place. Very educational and leads of things to do - including a fabulous train ride. Above all though, are the animals. Plenty of them, easy to see and looked well looked after. In truth I'd rather see animals in the wild (only) but Whipsnade appears to have found a (humane) balance. All he animals looked in good nick and well cared for.

  • 4/5 Sarah U. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a very wet day here but still managed to have a good look around. There were not many places to find shelter from the weather and queues were very long to get into cafes and butterfly house due to Covid19 restrictions. We had boots and trainers on but really could have done with our wellies! We made the best of the unpredictable British weather but it would have been a nicer experience and more enjoyable on a dry day. This is a full day out if you want to try and see it all, the place is huge, you will be walking lots so sensible footwear is a must. It will be nice to go back again with less restrictions, hopefully when the sun is shining and play areas are open 😊

  • 3/5 EZAM U. 3 years ago on Google
    It is a massive zoo.very spread out. However there were not many animals. Since each area for specific animals are so big, it was hard to spot them and they were too far away. We were thinking of buying annual pass but don't think we will be revisiting.

  • 4/5 Zo S. 3 years ago on Google
    Whipsnade is a huge place, I don't think its possible to see everything in one day especially if you have children with you. The enclosures are great and there was so many animals to see, it was a good day out! The only bad point is it was rather busy and crowded so it was hard to social distance and there wasn't many sanitiser stations around.

  • 5/5 Jocelyn D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Steve J. 3 years ago on Google
    An excellent day out, the residents look well cared for & have a good amount of space. The current pandemic restrictions caused a few annoyances, but that's not ZSL's fault. A great destination for a family day out or even just for a couple. Worth taking the car in for £12.50 (winter rate from beginning of November) a bit steep at £25.00 for the summer rate, but it is a charitable venture so it's a way of raising funds without making the ticket prices too high for everyone.

  • 5/5 Uma D. 3 years ago on Google
    This zoo was amazing! My family I really had a great experience. We went during covid 19, the lines were busy and it actually felt normal apart from the 2 metres apart and wearing face masks. The staff were friendly and people we who visited were ok...apart from one lady I asked if she could take a pic she nodded her head to say no as if I was the human covid plague😂. Other then this we had a wonderful time! Definitely do visit this zoo x

    Amazing time. Animals were most lively of any Zoo I have ever been too other then a wild life sanctuary in AZ. Super clean, one way traffic flow, hand sanitizer everywhere, and slight line at the Penguins, but patrons were being counted and advanced appropriately. Pretty sure the parrot was trying to poop on people. snow leopards were magnificent. Pandas so energetic. We went at 2pm. Maybe be timing is everything.

  • 4/5 Bill M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice little zoo nestled in the most famous park in the world. They have a decent amount of animals (for a January visit especially) including: snow leopards, bears, seals, an aviary, red pandas, and a petting zoo with goats and sheep. Very covid safe and a great time for younger kids.

  • 5/5 Leabel M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very fun and diverse zoo! Some exclusive animals such as red pandas and snow leopards. A small zoo however impressive for being in the middle of a city! Going just before closing ensures it will not be crowded. Also, gift shop is fun.

  • 5/5 Brian O. 3 years ago on Google
    Employees were polite. The animals are amazing and you can get up close and personal with the exotic birds. They are makijg ppl wear the masks for the covid but its for your safety so its ok. They have food but its a bit expensive. You can also bring your own food from home if you want to.

    Always a pleasure visiting this place, I've brought more than a handful of friends. My personal favorites are the biosphere and the planetarium. Was absolutely floored seeing the arapaima from above and below the water (largest freshwater fish on earth), and the space shows and ocean adventures are EPIC via their insanely immersive imax theater. The chairs lean back and the show is on the ceiling. Soooo. Cool.

    2014 I used to live in New York and I visit this place many times and with over one million visitors each year, Central Park Zoo is a very popular attraction. The zoo can be found on the South East corner of the park and it’s not to be missed. Every zoo has its own personality and Central Park Zoo feels slightly surreal as you’ll be watching some majestic wild animals with Manhattan’s impressive skyscrapers peering over the top of your line of sight. The zoo has a surprising variety of animals. There’s a petting zoo section with goats, cows, and other farmyard animals that are happy to be petted — making it perfect for young families. And there are dozens of rare animal species, such as snow monkeys, tamarins, and two snow leopards (one of the rarest and most endangered species in the world) the Christmas festivities, and Shakespeare in the Park, you might forget to actually enjoy Central Park for what it truly is: a beautiful, expansive park right in the center of one of the busiest, most populous cities in the world. There’s something incredibly novel about sampling the dozens of species of trees, flowers, and other plant life that grows in Central Park while also seeing Manhattan’s impressive skyline peeking over the tops of the trees. Central Park is a natural haven, a green space in a very built-up city, and it’s a great place to visit when you need a little bit more green in your life. If you like to stay active, New York’s shopping scene has more than enough to keep you busy, but the winding walking trails through Central Park are perfect for anyone who wants to get out of the city without actually getting out of the city. There’s always something special about an outdoor ice rink, and this goes double for the Wollman Rink in Central Park. You’ll find the ice rink to the South East, not far from the zoo, and it offers staggering views of the New York skyline as you fool around on the ice with your buddies or take a romantic little skate with someone special. This ice rink comes to Central Park in late October, but it’s a fantastic feature and it tends to stick around until March. If you’re traveling to New York City to soak up the atmosphere around Christmas, you simply must to go ice skating in Central Park before (or after) seeing the Rockefeller Center Tree! there are dozens of live theater performances in Central Park each year — many of which are free! However, Central Park’s theater scene is most famous for its completely free Shakespeare in the Park summer tradition. All Shakespeare in the Park performances usually start at 8pm and you can obtain your free tickets from the Delacorte Theater box office on the day of the performance. Only two tickets can be obtained per person, There’s something special about hearing the Bard’s immortal lines recited in Central Park, so make sure you take advantage of the opportunity if you’re visiting in the summer.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful zoo visited on a cold November day. Incredible sea lions who seeing tourists pose for photos ... incredible! Right at the entrance to the park. The arctic zone follows with the penguins and the seals but you should absolutely not miss the tropical zone where you enter a very warm greenhouse which in winter it is a pleasure to let me say since an hour later it has snowed in New York. The greenhouse is a structure where the indoor climate is perpetually hot and humid, there are many birds that fly freely above you and many tropical plants that climb where the birds roost. A very interesting reptile area follows and you can then conclude the tour with a 4D cardboard (ice age with acorn animal) if you purchase the Total experience ticket. Bring the children, they will be delighted with everything. It's a small zoo in Central Park, in the heart of Manhattan. Few animal species, but the zoo is well maintained and well maintained. The effort to faithfully reconstitute the natural habitat of the various animal species is particularly remarkable. Very pleasant is the ornithological sector of the zoo, where there are many birds, but with flora from the respective country of origin of the birds! As well as the 3 D movie is interesting, all centered around themes of the natural world which appeal to children. I suggest you this visit, particularly suitable for families! (Original) Beau zoo visité par une froide journée de novembre. Incroyable les lions de mer qui en voyant les touristes poser pour les photos ... incroyable! Juste à l'entrée du parc. La zone arctique suit avec les pingouins et les phoques mais il ne faut absolument pas manquer la zone tropicale où l'on pénètre dans une serre très chaude qui en hiver c'est un plaisir de me laisser dire puisqu'une heure plus tard il a neigé à New York. La serre est une structure où le climat intérieur est perpétuellement chaud et humide, il y a de nombreux oiseaux qui volent librement au-dessus de vous et de nombreuses plantes tropicales qui grimpent là où les oiseaux se reposent. Une zone de reptiles très intéressante suit et vous pouvez ensuite conclure la visite avec un carton 4D (âge de glace avec l'animal gland) si vous achetez le ticket Total experience. Amenez les enfants, ils seront ravis de tout. C'est un petit zoo de Central Park, au cœur de Manhattan. Peu d'espèces animales, mais le zoo est bien entretenu et bien entretenu. L'effort de reconstitution fidèle de l'habitat naturel des différentes espèces animales est particulièrement remarquable. Très agréable est le secteur ornithologique du zoo, où il y a de nombreux oiseaux, mais avec une flore du pays d'origine respectif des oiseaux! Ainsi que le film 3 D est intéressant, tous centrés sur des thèmes du monde naturel qui plaisent aux enfants. Je vous propose cette visite, particulièrement adaptée aux familles!

    Moved from Michigan to AZ 4 yrs ago; however I try to visit Indian Creek Zoo every time i return. Always fun to go with family and see the new additions. This past time i saw a bird species i've never known about while walking through the parakeet path. Every time it's a new experience, and I love how it's in a wooded area. Feels like a more natural experience than many other zoo's I been too. Highly recommend for both kids and the young at heart!

    We did the sloth experience, it was great. We go to up close to three different sloths and fed them. We were also able to pet one of the sloylths on the head. It was limited to 4 people as the enclosure you go in is small, this was nice and we had ample time to spend petty and feeding them. Note: This is sadly not recommend to someone that is in a wheelchair.

    This zoo holds a special place in my heart as a little kid I would come here with my grandmother to visit Gus the polar bear. After he died I didn't come back for years but I recently went with my father, my wife and my son. It's still got that same warm family feel. The children's zoo is a little dangerous at the beginning but once we got to the petting area my kid (who loves cows) refused to let us leave and used all our change to feed the bull they have. Afterwords we bought him a stuffed cow in the gift shop for around $20 and that is his new favorite toy he sleeps with it every night. I'm happy to see they kept up with the times but also kept that same family friendly feeling I remember as a child.

    The Zoo wasn’t considered by Olmsted and Vaux and was preceded by a menagerie near the Arsenal. The menagerie was founded in 1864 and is considered the first public zoo in New York City. It evolved into a zoo with animals given (or just abandoned) in the park. The zoo that we know and love today was opened on December 2, 1934. The Zoo is a year-round attraction and has animals from different climate areas, recreating successfully their natural habitats. The Zoo fields a sea lion pool in its center, that has an underwater area offer a peek to their underwater shenanigans. There is a cool feature on the brick arch between Central Park Zoo and Tisch Children’s Zoo – the “George Delacorte Musical Clock”. Every day you can see a band of animals coming out a half an hour and an hour. The band is composed of a bear with a tambourine, a hippo with a violin, monkeys with bells and hammers, a penguin with a drum, a goat with pipes, and a kangaroo with a horn. The daily feeding of the animals is one of the most popular attractions. You can check the schedule of the zoo to acquire additional information about it. The zoo is also a filming site of popular movies like Madagascar and Mr. Popper’s Penguins.

    Found this place thanks to TripAdvisor/Group on. What a great little place with a good variety of Central Park Zoo Security. One of the few places where you can see a bald eagle up close and personal and a 2 toed sloth. It's a very intimate place and the staff is very caring. Definitely a good way to spend a couple of hours with the little ones.

    Everyone tells you how big Central Park is, but you can never really understand until you’re there! Everything is so much better than you can imagine! It’s so big and clean and refreshing. The trails are a work of art in the way that they work with the landscaping to make it feel more organic and not like someone just cut flat trails. You really need an entire day (or 2!) to really see everything here. Lots of paths for walking, running, or biking mean it’s easy to get some good exercise in while seeing a beautiful park. c

    We became members of the zoo this year and the first time going to the Central Park Zoo after visiting the Queens and Bronx Zoo. This one was smaller than I anticipated but well organized. The best part was the Tisch Children's Zoo which is disconnected from the big zoo. This area is nice for young kids that want to interact with the animals (a petting zoo). If we had to pay the price of admission I think we would have left wanting more but I guess those are NYC prices.

    This place a medium sized zoo with a petting zoo 2. I loved the penguins & snow leopards the most. The Red Pandas r adorable. The reason I'm giving 4 * is because they force u 2 wear a mask in the HHHUUUMMMIIIDDD tropical exhibit where u can't breathe which is absolutely retarded. I think they should at least let u take it off there

    מקום נחמד מאוד לבילוי עם ילדים. גן חיות נקי ומסודר. לא גדול במיוחד אבל מספק. בקיצור, החוויה משתלמת, מדורגת ונחמדה מאוד אהבתי אחזור לפה שוב!

  • 5/5 Saturday Mourning Car T. 3 years ago on Google
    Walked through to reminisce of the many times I went there on school trips or with my family in the summer time. Very nostalgic...it seems so much smaller than I remember as a kid but, still a majestic experience.

  • 3/5 Sadik A. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a okay place for like a date or quick visit to the zoo, but they don't really have a whole lot to look at. For 14 dollars I wouldn't recommend if you live in the city. Go to queens zoo instead for 10 dollars a ticket with more animals. However, if you don't live in the city and you're coming to visit here, then it's okay to go to for a quick vacation.

  • 5/5 Stephanie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice zoo, my son loved it even though we couldn't see the bear and mountain lion.

  • 5/5 Karen H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little zoo. Really good exhibits the animals look well cared for. My 3 Yr old loved it, and really easy to lose a couple of hours.

  • 4/5 liam k. 2 years ago on Google
    Smaller on the scale of zoos in the metropolitan area. Zoo is located right in Central Park which makes it a nice way to break up the day or walk through the park. Very interesting to see animals in the heart of New York City.

  • 4/5 Daniela H. 2 years ago on Google
    The Zoo is ok. It's small and a bit overpriced but it has some fun exhibits. Kids will enjoy it for sure. If you are used to one of the nicer big zoos this will be disappointing. They also have a children zoo section which we did not visit so I can't comment on that

  • 5/5 Alejandro S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place into Central Park. You can spend couple hours in here while you are visiting new York.

  • 4/5 Oz H. 2 years ago on Google
    We’ve loved 🥰 Central Park Zoo! Me and my little folks visited the central park zoo, and hereunder my experience in points: • Admission includes entrance to the Main zoo, Tisch Children's Zoo, and one visit to the 4-D Theater. All visitors must have a date-specific ticket. Every guest, every day. Adult (13 & over) $19.95 Child (3 - 12) $14.95 Senior (65 & over) $16.95 • You have to be vaccinated and to have your vaccination card ready on you, soft copy works to enter the zoo • Animals we have seen: Snow leopard 🐆Red Panda, snow monkey, penguins, bats and lots of birds • Kids zoo is cool place where the kids can feed the animal • The zoo closes at 5:30 PM

  • 5/5 Mauricio C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful visit, highly recommend !! It's small but totally worth it. I saw a few beautiful animals for the first time in my life.

  • 5/5 Kyle D. 2 years ago on Google
    Takes about a hour or 2 to see everything. The tropical bird room was out of this world!!! Worth it for that building alone.

  • 5/5 Cesar L. 2 years ago on Google
    Make sure you check out the tropical exhibit. Birds are flying, walking and perching freely. Nice place to warm up. If you have glasses beware they will fog up with your mask on.

  • 5/5 Donald S. 2 years ago on Google
    What a fun and quaint Zoo! We actually saw all the animals today, including the Himalayan snow leopard. It is a quick little zoo to get through, but offers some amazing animals and city views in the background. The sea lions were such hams performing for the crowd. They put on quite the show and come up for bows to bask in the attention from the patrons. Definitely worth the price of admission.

  • 4/5 Barry J. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice kid friendly zoo inside Central Park. The grizzly bear exhibit was closed on our visit but the rest were well maintained. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

  • 5/5 Vanesa C. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed this zoo it was so much fun they have a lot of animals my favorites were the penguins and the birds, but the seals did an amazing job with their show

  • 5/5 Joshua H. 2 years ago on Google
    What a delightful surprise. It’s a great little zoo that we thoroughly enjoyed. It’s a perfect activity to add to a day or NYC activities. It maybe takes an hour to see most of it, but the animals are all close, well kept, and most exhibits were occupied. We will visit again the next time we are in the area.

  • 5/5 Jazzy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Small but such a wonderful zoo!! It’s located perfectly in Central Park. Lots of the animals were asleep but the penguins were fully awake and moving around. My favorite part was seeing the seas get fed! They put on a show! The cafe is small as well, the prices are decent. It’s like cafeteria style food, and it’s complicated at first ordering but once you know it’s easier to flow. (You ordered first at the cashier then give your ticket to the guys) May I just say, no free refills on your drink, so make sure you get a big cup! ha Overall, I will definitely come back and visit!! ✨

  • 4/5 Jeica F. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter (3) and I love the zoo!! It is not to big, is divide in two zones; but definitely the best zone was the penguins and the sea Lions (if you have time try to see the sea lions show). I do really recommend it.

  • 5/5 Ami F. 1 year ago on Google
    Central Park is the jewel of NYC. The park is clean, beautiful, well maintained, and bustling with activities. I definitely recommend spending time here.

  • 5/5 Marwa Al A. 1 year ago on Google
    Small Zoo that can be visited in max 2h excluding the interactive shows. The design is very attractive for the kids. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Lux Llama P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good

  • 5/5 Damian D. 9 months ago on Google
    Cute small zoo in Central Park, definitely worth the visit if you have some time to spare. Not a lot of animals to see, but more than enough to spend 1 - 2 hours here. The enclosures are well maintained and the animals here look like they're happy

  • 5/5 Priscilla C. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful smaller zoo. It has 2 entrances. 1 for their main zoo and 1 for the children's zoo. The children are able to get up close and even personally touch many animals from the children zoo. The staff are friendly and the place is very clean. The children zoo is a wonderful place for the children to be silly and explore too. I highly recommend a visit. You can explore both areas of the zoo in 2-4 hours with a break for lunch. I highly recommend visiting with many quarters OR lots of single dollar bills. If interested in feeding the farm animals. You get about 10 pellets for 50 cents from their pellet dispenser. They have a coin exchange machine, too, however, only for single dollar bills.

  • 5/5 Brian G. 9 months ago on Google
    Really great little zoo. Nicely done habitats and exhibits. The sea lion and penguin feedings are the highlight as the animals stole the show. Surprisingly large collection of colorful tropical birds.

  • 5/5 carissaey 1 year ago on Google
    Zoo in the middle of the city, its just small but still worth the visit! Penguins are our favorite, and they’re soooooo cute and so lively when we went there. Pro tip: get an idnyc and apply for zoo membership, and you can visit all of the zoos in New York for free. :)

  • 4/5 Michelle D. 8 months ago on Google
    Great experience for the kids. A few interactive stations with zoo staff to educate on animals. Would just recommend more signage, we were not clear where to go and what animals were there. Also the kids zoo, we didn't find out that there were specific feeding times for the petting zoo until after we paid. Outside of that, not much interaction for the kids except leaning on the wall and hoping the animals come near enough to pet.

  • 5/5 Gaurika W. 8 months ago on Google
    I don't like to see animals in cages, but after seeing a snow leopard, I was stunned by its beauty, reading about the history of them in zoos at least give some hope for its survival. However, it would have been nice if they had some more space to roam around

  • 4/5 Jecca C. 8 months ago on Google
    A small zoo in Central Park. Great way to spend an hour of time. Penguins were playful. Seals were having fun. Tropical bird building is super hot. Bears were keeping cool. Interesting little spot in a big city

  • 5/5 Bahram A. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to hang out with kids of different ages. Summertime is a great time to spend at Luna Park, you can enjoy the ocean and the beach activities too. The time you'll spend there will be remembered for a long time.

  • 4/5 Jamie O. 7 months ago on Google
    Cute little zoo. It is on the smaller side but still enjoy. Very crowded when we went on a Saturday. A bit overwhelming. Animals were well kept and looked happy.

  • 5/5 anderacpharmd 5 months ago on Google
    Quite a nice zoo-not as large as some, but every animal appears happy and well cared for, and all exhibits are enjoyable. The layout of the zoo makes it easy to navigate, easy to walk to from our hotel on the Upper East Side, not overcrowded. Meals served at the cafe on site.

  • 4/5 heather o. 5 months ago on Google
    I really enjoyed it because of the little birds just coming to the park for little titbits of food. Lovely range of animals monkeys seals and tropical area we stayed there for a long time. Lots to do

  • 5/5 Anita 5 months ago on Google
    Great place for kids, there is a children's zoo where the kids can feed goats and sheep. Lots of animals to see. The kids loved the penguins exhibit the most. Free entry with Cool Culture Pass.

  • 5/5 Tammy L. 4 months ago on Google
    It’s a terrific little zoo. It’s very well maintained and the animals are quite entertaining during feeding times. You can see the sea lions from Central Park but it’s worth the $15-20 admission price to go in and check everything out.

  • 5/5 Daniel R. 3 months ago on Google New
    A great outing for me and my seven-year-old. He had a wonderful time seeing the animals that the zoo has. it’s a small zoo. You should not be there more than an hour and a half.
