Such a great Zoo , especially if you have kids under age of 5 as it doesn't require a full day of walking. Lots of seasonal events (Zoo Boo is great for tikes). Get a family membership for best value.

Beautiful zoo , lots to see. So many baby animals! My only complaint: their signs could be a bit more detailed and informative.

Great zoo , doesn’t require a lot of walking since it’s small. The kids always love coming here as well , good way to kill an hour or 2.

What's not in Corona Park ? This is nestled by Citi Field , NY Science Hall, & other attractions . Speaking of Corona, let ur guests sip it amongst the Native American animals that the zoo is famous for.

Chieko Bonna

Beautiful and perfect zoo for little ones. Small payground is located in the zoo as well . Bring quarters for feeding.

Fabio Dian

Entering the zoo costs 8 for adult and 6 for kids. There are plenty of attractions to kids. Sealions are fed on 11:30AM, 2 and 4 PM. Bring your own food, since there are only pricey vending machines.

Love this zoo . It’s small, circular and manageable. Walk through in about an hour.
