Central Park Zoo

The other day the weather was just lovely so I put the baby in her stroller and headed down to the Central Park Zoo.  We had a great time!  The zoo is very small but they still have some awesome exhibits, which means that it is the perfect place to take very young children who aren't necessarily up to the entire day that a normal zoo would take to view.  Check out some of the animals!


Pictured above are a snow monkey, sea lions, and a polar bear.  They were all out enjoying the sunshine this week!  My daughter's favorite animals in the entire zoo were the penguins.  Because they swim up against the glass she got an excellent view and found them enchanting.  We sat for almost an hour while she watched them swim around!
There is also a children's zoo with domestic animals that you can feed pellets from the machines around their enclosures.  They have sheep, llamas, goats, and pigs among other animals in the children's zoo.
The two sections of the zoo are separated by the Delacorte Clock.  The clock is very famous and has several animals that spin around it and play music every hour.
The zoo may be small but it is very affordable and the animals are simply wonderful to see.  If you've never been you should take an hour or two and go check it out.  It will be worth your time!
