Lonely Planet review for Central Park Wildlife Center
The penguins are the main attraction at this modern zoo, though you’ll find more than two dozen other species to visit, including polar bears, snow leopards, tamarin monkeys and red pandas. Feeding times are especially rowdy, fun times to stroll through: watch the sea lions chow down at 11:30am, 2pm and 4pm and see the penguins gobble fish at 10:30am and 2:30pm. The attached Tisch Children’s Zoo (btwn 65th & 66th Sts) is perfect for smaller children.
