Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
A zoo, in the center of a great park, in the center of a great city. Who would've thought? The zoo is small enough to take make for a great break in the midst of a busy day of sight-seeing. Some of the animals you'll see include polar bears, red pandas, and penguins.
Extras: Educational Presentations.

From Central Park Zoo - New York City, NY:
The jewel-like zoo in Manhattan has existed only since 1988 - yet its full history stretches back to the last century. The evolution of this city landmark launched the modern trend in urban zoos around the nation: the transformation of cages and menagerie-style zoos into natural habitat exhibits that educate, involve, and connect people to our natural world.
