About Prospect Park Zoo
Prospect Park Zoo is a family-friendly zoo in NYC's beautiful Prospect Park in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn. When the Wildlife Conservation Society assumed control of the Prospect Park Zoo in 1993, they designed it to allow up-close animal viewing—perfect for families with young children who want to learn about wildlife. Comprised of 12 acres and home to nearly 400 animals (150 species!), Prospect Park Zoo offers tons of kid's programming, from hands-on activities to camps to birthday parties.
The zoo lets you escape the city as you explore the Discovery Trail encountering red panda, dingo, and a host of beautiful birds. Or you can visit some unique small cats—the Pallas’s cats (the original grumpy cats) and black-footed cats. Or, even, make sure to take in a sea lion feeding while you take a break for your own lunch. There’s always a way to connect with the natural world at the Prospect Park Zoo.
