Organization Details

The Central Park Zoo exhibits nearly 150 species of animals in a 5.5 acres within Central Park. The main zoo is divided into tropic, temperate and polar regions with corresponding animals exhibited in each.

The mission of the zoo is to provide a real-life encounter with these animals who are ambassadors for their counterparts in the wild. By doing chats and tours and staffing education stations, trained volunteer Zoo Guides provide information about the animals and the conservation issues they face in the wild. In addition to the main zoo, the same ticket price includes entrance into to Tisch Children's Zoo.
