Central Park Zoo
The Central Park Zoo is a 2.6-hectare zoo in the southeast corner of Central Park. A menagerie was kept here from 1864, and the present zoo opened in 1934; it was rebuilt with naturalistic habitats and reopened in 1988 under the Wildlife Conservation Society. Its exhibits are grouped around a central sea lion pool, with a children's zoo to the north.
