Hours & Rates

This summer, enjoy a shady stroll through the Prospect Park Zoo. Hop down Discovery Trail to meet kangaroos, wallabies, and our new group of tufted deer—petite deer with fangs. Kids can cool off while they color during Wild Art Wednesdays. Be sure to check our schedule of seasonal Keeper Chats to meet a new critter and its keeper each month!
