This small zoo, which gained fame for its part in the DreamWorks animated movie Madagascar, is home to lemurs, snow leopards and grizzly bears. Feeding times in the sea lion and penguin tanks make for a rowdy spectacle. The attached petting zoo, Tisch Children’s Zoo, has baby doll sheep and mini-Nubian goats and is perfect for small children.
