Central Park Zoo, New York

During my trip to New York in October me and the hubby paid a trip to Central Park zoo. In this Blog I am going to review this as a place to go with children. We were so lucky the day we went as we had a gorgeous warm autumn weather day.  To access the zoo we had a lovely mini walk through the park as well and what's not to love about that?

Feeding time!!

Expensive?

No not really which is surprising baring in mind this is one of the most expensive cities in the world. $18 adult and $13 child includes the zoo, children's zoo(we didn't actually go in this) and a 4d feature viewing.

What is there at the Zoo?
Daily you can view sea lion and penguins feedings and you can really get children engaged with the visit with zoo quests which are basically scavenger hunts around the zoo.

Places to eat?
There were some restaurants in the restaurant didn't try the food personally but you could take a picnic lunch.

Favourite Part

Look how amazing this grizzly bear is and the photos don't do it justice really but there was two bears in the zoo.  It was a warm day so we waited for ages for the bears to move as they were just chilling out in the warm sunshine.

How long does it take?
I think it's not an outing that would take all day as an adult but heading up mid morning as a family having some lunch there would take up a good majority of the day.

Gift Shop
We loved the gift shop and kept up with our tradition of buying a cuddly toy of places we visit by purchasing a red panda and a grizzly bear to represent two animals in the zoo we had never seen before.

Tips
There were lots of park guides around the zoo that would come up and chat and tell you all about the different animals.  I saw some children asking questions and they were very friendly and seemed to know lots about the animals in their care.

How gorgeous is this Red Panda?

Hope you enjoyed this blog review.  I loved this visit and would definitely recommend it if you are going to New York.
