This a small zoo but my family and I love it. The sea lions, red panda, birds in the Aviary, ducks and geese at the pond and Boris the Pallas Cat are particular favorites of mine. There is a nice combination of fun activities for kids and informational text for older children and adults. The teacher PD workshop that I attended here was among the best I've ever participated in. Well worth a visit during a trip to Prospect Park!
Very cute zoo. Well maintained. The peacocks walk around everywhere in the open which is fun. It's just reeaally small! Which if fine, nice way to kill an hour.
Perfect zoo for a young child accompanied by an exhausted family. Not huge, but a good variety of animals and exhibits. Affordable entrance fee to match.
My best friend and i had a great time. We made the best of a girls day out. We love doing randomn things. Love zoos. Loved how small it was. Perfect for laughs and a good time.
Pretty cool place. Bring light lunch. Have A Nice time.
Great little quarter-day zoo. Very small but filled with interesting animals. The only complaint I have is the fact that there were at least 3 exhibits closed which is a fairly large percentage considering the smallness of the zoo.
Great experience! I don't know why it says people spend up to 30 minutes here, because I was there for an hour and a half! Nice variety of animals with fun activities like sea lion feedings and a barn where you can feed sheep, goats and cows. For a smaller zoo it has a lot to offer and I would absolutely recommend! Cute animals seem happy and the staff are knowledgeable.
This is a great little zoo. Very good for families and kids. Small enough to see everything in an afternoon, but has plenty of interesting​ things to see.
The have a small petting zoo. You can buy food from to had feed some of the goats and sheep.
Very nice but small zoo for a day visit, get ready for a walking day. My dad use to bring us here as kids, I've took my kids as well. This was very different zoo back then from when my dad took us. It's been updated nowadays. If your into family time spent in an outing, then this is for you. Plus you also have the Brooklyn Botanical Garden across the street to also enjoy, if you want to continue your family outing.
It's a bit expensive, thats why i gave it four stars. So learn to save like I have. Buy your yearly membership pass that best fits your needs. It's also good for Bronx zoo, Central Park zoo and NY Aquarium. So four places to visit in a year time. Parking is free for Bronx zoo and NY Aquarium. Plus I pack up lunch/sandwiches, snakes, fruits and drinks; head back to the car for lunch time to eat. That's just another way to save money. You also get 10% off on shops and food purchases with your membership pass.
The zoo is quaint and dinky and unabashedly charming. I had a date with my girlfriend here, just for fun, after the burden of impressing her all the time had passed, and we had such a lovely time. Peacocks just walking around. Really lovely.
It's a cozy zoo and not crowded. It's small but space is utilized well. Peacocks walk around the zoo and is always fun to see. We love watching sea lion feeding and going to the barn area. The indoor parts are also enjoyed by our family.
While the zoo is small compared to others there is a good variety of animals to see. The use of space feels very thought out. There are some education centers and a few shows a day of how they take care of their sea lions. There is also a kids area where you take some really cute photos of your children.
