Small Zoo, Great for an afternoon

by lexislee2002 at Citysearch

I had about 40 minutes to waste in Prospect Park, so I spent $6 for the zoo. Its small size was perfect for the short time I had. Cute little Tamarin monkeys you can get close to, a great array of animals set up so you're in lovely air conditioning while viewing them. The walk around to see the animals outside in their natural habitat was a bit disappointing. They were far away laying in the shade, which I don't blame them. There are viewers that appeared to be free, but I couldn't figure out how to use them in my rush. All in all, I had a fun time. Probably perfect for people with kids who don't want to walk too far and enjoy some A/C.

• Pros: Small size, A/C
• Cons: none really
