点评:Despite being a NYC resident my whole life, somehow I never visited the Staten Island Zoo until now, with my wife and kids. We were pleasantly surprised at how well-organized and well-maintained this modest-sized zoo is. It is not a "small zoo" like the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn; it is larger than that, though obviously nothing like the size of the Bronx Zoo. Though not under the supervision of the WCS, like all other NYC zoos, this zoo still packs in a great variety of outdoor and indoor animal exhibits, with animals from around the world. Upon entering, there is even a dinosaur exhibit, though thankfully none of these cage-free animals is actually alive! Free parking in a lot right across the street as well as a very reasonable price of admission (compared to even smaller zoos) really round out the appealing qualities of a zoo we will often be returning to. Thank you for a great summer day at the zoo!
