#myhiddengems Spending the afternoon at Central Park Zoo in New York City was such a charming experience! 🏙️ Located right in the heart of Manhattan, this small but delightful zoo offers a peaceful escape from the busy city streets. The entrance fee was around $20 for adults, which I found quite reasonable given the amazing animals and exhibits. I started my visit at the sea lion pool, where these playful creatures were splashing around and showing off their tricks during feeding time. The penguin exhibit was another highlight – watching them dive and swim was mesmerizing! 🐧 The zoo's Tropic Zone felt like stepping into a jungle, with its lush greenery and colorful birds flying around. I also got to see the snow leopards, which were absolutely stunning! 🐆 Despite being a smaller zoo, the Central Park Zoo is beautifully maintained, and its intimate size makes it easy to see everything without feeling rushed. After exploring the zoo, I took a leisurely stroll through Central Park, which offers so many scenic spots and iconic attractions like Bethesda Terrace and the Bow Bridge. If you’re looking for a relaxing day surrounded by nature and wildlife right in the middle of NYC, this zoo is a perfect choice! #trip #CentralParkZoo #NYCAdventures #WildlifeInTheCity #PenguinsAndLeopards #ExploreManhattan
