Prospect Park Zoo
A compact Brooklyn zoo combines close-up animal exhibits with conservation interpretation inside Prospect Park.

A place worth knowing
The scale suits a shorter wildlife outing than the Bronx Zoo. Check the day's feeding or training schedule and book the correct admission type. Last entry is earlier than closing, and winter hours differ from the warmer-season schedule.
