Managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society, the grounds set active grizzly bears climbing rocks against a Manhattan skyline backdrop at Treena’s Overlook, alongside snow leopards and mongoose habitats. Inside the indoor Tropic Zone, visitors step into a humid rainforest housing free-flying birds, lemurs, and monkeys. Main admission also covers the Tisch Children's Zoo, where children can feed sheep and goats for 50 cents in a dedicated petting area. With daily feedings across the exhibits, the venue offers a focused wildlife experience designed for a quick two-hour outing.
