New York - Central Park Zoo

The Central Park Zoo, formally known as The Central Park Wildlife Conservation Center, features more than 100 species of animals from the tropics, the Polar Circle and the California coast. An equatorial rain forest houses monkeys and free-flying birds while penguins inhabit the Arctic section. Near the entrance is the charming Delacorte Clock where bronze musical animals encircle the clock and play nursery chimes every half-hour.
