We just love zoos and we have been to a quite a lot of them. Here are some of our favorites in the Tri-State area.

Me - Here are four fun zoos in the Tri-State area

2- Turtle Back Zoo - The Turtle Back Zoo is a really fun zoo to visit. It is one of the biggest if not the biggest zoos in NJ.

3- Philadelphia Zoo - The Philadelphia Zoo is a really big zoo. It was America's first zoo. They have sleepovers. They also have exploration trails which are tunnels all over the zoo so the animals can roam around and people can observe them.

5- Central Park Zoo - The Central Park Zoo is a smaller zoo located within Central Park. There is a also a fun children's zoo, Tisch Children's Zoo which is part  of the zoo. It is part zoo and part playground. Although the Tisch Children's Zoo is part of the Central Park Zoo, they are not right next to each other, but they are not too far from each other either.

6- Prospect Park  Zoo - The Prospect Park Zoo is a small zoo in Brooklyn that is similar to the Central Park Zoo, but without the children's zoo.

7- Queens Zoo - The Queens Zoo is also similar to the Central Park Zoo and the Prospect Park Zoo but it includes a large section of farm animals.

8- Six Flags Wild Safari- Six Flags Wild Safari is not strictly a zoo, but it is a great place to see animals. You can also get a lot closer to the animals as you ride around in your car there than at most zoos.
