Prospect Park Zoo

A wonderful bargain. Nice and compact. Plenty to do for an hour or two, especially for little kids. Get there to see the seal lion feeding. No matter what, don't miss it.

Visitors can roam the lush gardens , marshes and scrubland of Discovery Trail , visit domestic animals on the farm , or head inside to meet nocturnal critters and a troop of Hamadryas baboons . Read more

Order tickets on your phone and skip the line for the same price. The sea lions are hilarious. Also def see the big headed turtle . Just hatched 5 babies for the 1st time ever at a zoo !

Small fun zoo . Discovery trail is fun. Bring quarters for feeding kiosks. Catch sea lion feeding. Last show is at 4pm. Zoo closes at 5.

even in the middle of winter, there are a few freshwater bubble pools in the duck pond where the zoo 's duck collection will gather to feed

If you have small children whom would find the Bronx Zoo too big to walk, then this is the zoo for you. You can view everything in under two hours which includes the sea lion feeding.

Aging zoo—it’s fun for a quick hour detour and price is right, but some of the animals seem straight up sad.

Perfect kid friendly place . My toddler loves to feed the barnyard animals and watch the sea lions play. The frogs and the fish are also a big hit.

Nice small zoo , clean and very green at one point i forgot that i was in NY. Great for families and kids

Be sure to check out the sea lions ! Definitely one of the best zoos in the city !

The zoo is very reasonably priced. Great entertainment for kids without breaking the bank . The gift store is fairly priced as well .

Small zoo $8 admission. Wonderful for small children. Sea Lions feeding is a blast and the Discovery trail is a great little hike .

in the cold of winter, the baboons may huddle out of sight, but the frozen waterfall is still pretty

Sipping cocktails amongst baboons ? We’re all about it! In the heart of BK, to boot! Host your event in the Sea Lion Garden (Discovery Trail included, if you're in the mood to bump into a kangaroo)

Part of the Wildlife Conservation Society, this zoo is a hidden treasure of Brooklyn. Visit the fruit bats, otters and catch a sea lion feeding!

Small and cute zoo . Reminds me of Central Park zoo . We went in freezing weather but non the less enjoyed a lot

tickets are fairly priced . not a lot of marquee animals but it’s a fine zoo . can get through everything in 30-45 minutes.

The sea lion feedings are at 1130am, 2pm & 4pm. Definitely catch one of these when at the zoo .

This is a wonderful little zoo . Don't miss feeding the lovely animals at The Barn!

Super cute zoo , you can visit everything at a leisurely pace under 2 hours including a sea lion show !

This is a great zoo for younger children, particularly compared to other zoos in NYC.

Toddler Time series gives kids age 2-3 a chance to meet a variety of the zoo 's animals. Caregiver participation is required. Read more

the wild cat is almost never out, so seeing it prowling about is a treat

It's more of a children's zoo than an extensive zoo like the Bronx zoo . Go with that in mind...

Bring your own lunch . Gift store/cafe just has junk food and long lines .

This is a small, but well-managed, zoo ... mostly aimed at kids. Adults will want to stick to the Bronx Zoo .

this handsome fellow is an amazon milk tree frog, so named for his nervous milky secretions

Bring a flashy piece of jewelry . You'd be amazed how interactive some animals become if you dangle something shiny next to the glass, and it gives them something new to do.

Try to avoid the cobra that's apparently loose and go check out the adorable family of meerkats. Great spot if you're visiting with kids and need a few hours of entertainment.

The best exhibits are the sea lions and the baboons .

There's a diaper changing table in the bathroom . If you come on a weekday in the summer, be prepared for legions of camp kids.

The sea lion feeding was so amazing. See the crazy baboons !

Great for kids! Wish they had more exotic animals. But it's awesome for tourist !

Afternoon walk in the shade of the park watching the red pandas . The farm is cool too.

In dec- they have gifts for the animsls to unwrap. Try to catch one of em! Also go into the tunnel to see the pairie dogs close up

Go at the top of the day to see the Pallas Cat in action!

Small scale and wondrous. Perfect for an afternoon with little kids.

baby changing table on the far wall of the mens bathroom

Take a break from the heat this summer and check out the Animal Lifestyles house Read more

This 12 acre zoo opened on July 3, 1935 as a part of a larger revitalization program of city parks , playgrounds and zoos . The zoo presents three themed exhibition venues.

The sells are so cute and they do tricks

Zoos are important for education and conservation, but they need to be realistic. Don't keep animals from hot climates, in cold ones. Tiny indoor enclosures aren't ok either.

Kids love it& got some great pictures!!

Pack a lunch cuz all they have are vending machines for a food court

Discovery center has been updated.. Great stop on a cold winter day

$8 entrance for Adults - super sweet neighbourhood zoo .

Get there at 10am on weekends and you'll get easy street parking and no crowds.

Dingoes from australia are coming to the zoo in April 2012, they will be next to the kangaroo habitat

Play Old MacDonald, milking cows and feeding farm animals at the Barn & Garden . And don’t miss the crowd-pleasing baboons ! Powered by ParentsConnect.com
