New faces, new places: A deer fawn, a duck, and a porcupine named Sam are just some of the most recent arrivals to the Central Park and Prospect Park Zoos.

The cool weather agrees with animals that have furry coats, insulating feathers, and hairy backs. Enjoy a stroll through the zoo and visit these animals that enjoy a crisp fall day as much as you do!

The animals of the Bronx Zoo, Prospect Park, Central Park, and Queens Zoos, and New York Aquarium are getting ready for Halloween. Come visit them and celebrate the season during our festive Boo at the Zoo and Ascarium weekend events!

Just because we’re having a rainy summer doesn’t mean you can’t come visit the animals! All of the WCS zoos and the aquarium offer indoor and sheltered attractions, and damp days rarely faze the animals. Here is a round-up of our favorite rainy-day attractions.
