Beautiful Central Park Beautiful Central Park!

Then head to the zoo! In beautiful Central Park is the Central Park Zoo a great place to walk and see the beautiful animals that this zoo has! Across the street is an awesome children’s zoo that is included in the price of the ticket – so don’t forget about it ;) This New York zoo also has a really neat clock that plays tunes on the hour so if you are planning a trip to the zoo I would recommend sticking around the clock around the hour :) It also has animals that go around, a sweet little touch.

Great Central Park Zoo Animals

  • Mountain Coatimundi

Enjoy The Habitats That The Animals Are In!

 Zoo Clock Cute Zoo Clock!

A great feature of this zoo is that the animals are in enclosures that are close to their own natural habitat! This is also a great way to teach children what the part of the world that the animal comes from looks like. Experience the humidity of a rain forest, watch a sea lion swim through the water or do a trick for their trainer. The zoo is an excellent way to learn about animals:

  • The way they act?
  • The way they walk?
  • What they like to do?
  • What they eat?
  • How they eat?
There is so much to learn about animals! Have fun learning!

Watch That Polar Bear!

Polar Bear! The Star Of The Show:
