What is there to do?
Who knew that a trip into New York's Central Park would see you face to face with adorable penguins, or majestic lions?
Well, that's exactly what can happen at Central Park Zoo!
From a steamy rainforest to an icy Antarctic penguin habitat, Central park Zoo will take you on a journey past animals from ALL over the world.
There are a number of exhibits throughout the zoo, each one offering a glimpse into the lives and habits of some of the world's most beautiful creatures.
There are Grizzly Bears waiting to say hi, and the playful sea lions in their very own pool.
The Tisch Children's Zoo lets little animal lovers meet gentle creatures up close, and enjoy hands-on fun with adorable barnyard creatures including goats.
You might prefer to whisk off to Asia for a visit with red pandas, snow monkeys and cranes, or perhaps it's the Tropic Zone that takes your fancy. Here there's a startling variety of animals from the forest floor to the canopy, including a very entertaining troop of black and white ruffed lemurs.
Daily bonuses include keeper talks, feeding and enrichment sessions and guided tours to get the most from the experience.
So why not walk on the WILD side during your next visit to Central Park. You never know what animals you just might meet!

Any top tips?
Spring and summer are naturally high-attendance seasons, but they encourage guests to visit during fall and winter as well. When the weather cools off, many animals are more active and you'll encounter fewer crowds.
