The Central Park Zoo is a great place to visit if you're looking to get up close and personal with some of your favourite animals. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the animals in their care, and they're more than happy to share that knowledge with visitors.

Watching snow leopards was the best experience we had at this Madagascar-themed zoo in New York. The park is divided into themed zones, which allowed us to see a variety of species unique to that zone, expanding our knowledge of wildlife. Also, we got a great deal on ticket prices from Thrillophilia. A Must Visit!
