Although Prospect Park Zoo is one of the newest additions to the NYC wildlife scene, having been established in 1993, it has undoubtedly grown into one of the more popular attractions in the city. Before the actual Prospect Park Zoo, the area was home to a menagerie that featured a small collection of animals. Today's Prospect Park Zoo has kept some of the architectural work of the old zoo, while replacing cages with natural habitats and adding a wealth of exhibits.
Exhibits such as The World of Animals, Animal Lifestyles and Animals in our Lives all present informative, practical information on the animals featured within the zoo, and are a great way for young and old alike to learn more about those we inhabit the earth with. And the best part of Prospect Park Zoo is that it is open every single day of the year, making it impossible to miss during any vacation to New York City.
