Central Park Zoo
The Zoo in New York City's Central Park provides a wonderful diversion for an hour or two, even for adults who don't have kids in tow. We especially love watching the polar bears swim from the underwater viewing area (note how magnificent and HUGE their paws are!). We recommend that you time your visit so that you'll see the California sea lions chow down (at 11:30 am, 2 pm and 4 pm daily). It's even fun to watch as they anticipate feeding time -- growing ever more animated in their jumping and swimming as the crowds grow -- long before they see the keepers show up. You can also see the penguins dine at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm every day.
We also recommend a stop at the indoor tropical rain forest. While stepping inside this warm, lively paradise is most delightful when the weather outside is inclement, it is always fun to see the huge variety of plants and animals that inhabit this space. Don't forget to go upstairs so you can experience the rain forest at the canopy level.
Run by the Wildlife Conservation Society which also manages the Bronx Zoo, the Central Park Zoo is open every day of the year. Have young ones with you? Don't forget to save your ticket for entrance to the nearby Tisch Children's Zoo.
Enter the Central Park Zoo from 5th Avenue at 64th Street.
