The zoo occupies 265 acres of land in which over 4,000 animals from more than 600 species live in spacious and naturalistic habitats. The zoo opened its doors in 1899 with 843 animals spread over 22 exhibits and is today managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Some of the most important exhibits today are the Congo Gorilla Forest, Wild Asia Monorail, JungleWorld, Madagascar!, African Plains, and Tiger Mountain. Kids will love the daily sea lion and penguin feedings.
