Central Park Zoo
63rd Street
Brooklyn, NY, 10022
For New York apartment-ites, finding chances to explore the wonders of nature are few and far between. In a city full of subway cars, taxi cabs and skyscrapers, it can be hard to find interesting forms of wildlife, with the exception of the occasional unwelcome rat or cockroach. One place filled to the brim with adorable and intriguing animals is the Central Park Zoo. Located smack dab in the middle of one of New York’s star attractions, apartment residents and their children can have loads of fun exploring the natural world, without ever leaving the big apple. It makes any trip to the main park even more exciting, with plenty of fun and fascinating exhibits to explore. There’s no end to the number of animals that you can discover within the walls of the Central Park Zoo, from the furry to the scaley, each in their own natural habitat and ecosystem. Discover the three-toed sloths, the enigmatic tamandua, the gorgeous gold lion tamarins, the Malaysan mouse deer, Amazon treet boa, or the breathtaking birds of paradise at the Tropic Zone: Rainforest exhibit, or check out the wise old snow monkey or the adorable red pandas in the Temperate Territory exhibit, as well as the numerous birds, turtles and other reptiles and amphibians that call this section home. For fans of polar bears, check out polar circle, where you can find fierce but lovable polar bears playing around all day, as well as penguins and puffins having fun on the ice. In the middle of the zoo is the Central Garden and Sea Lion Pool, where some of the most interesting pinniped specimens can be found frolicking in the water, with special feedings and information from their keepers. There’s also a fun wilderness adventure for the kids at the Tisch Children Zoo, where friendly animals await the hands of happy children ready to pet, hold and play with all the gorgeous animals that call this section of the park home, including water birds, farm animals, and gorgeous peacocks. It’s like exploring a foreign land, a short train ride away from your New York apartment. Animal lovers in New York can have a hard time dealing with all the steel and stone, but the Central Park Zoo gives them an opportunity to explore the natural world around them without taking the long trip or spending a fortune. It’s a must for any New York apartment-ite, since your trip to the park just isn’t complete without a trip to see all the beautiful, adorable and intriguing creatures on display.
