I went here towards the very end of the summer on a warm day with two young children. This zoo is no where as impressive as The Bronx Zoo and one tenth of the size....but, it is smack in the middle of Manhattan. The landscaping is exquisite with the back drop of condos on the Upper East Side and Central Park South.
Kill a few birds with one stone: FAO Schwartz is no longer around! But walking down Fifth Avenue, or just around Central Park itself, is enough to make this day well worth the hours it took to find a parking spot!
