Queens Zoo, Wildlife park in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, United States
The Queens Zoo extends across 18 acres, presenting native North American species including pumas, bison, bears, eagles, and sea lions in naturalistic settings.
The facility opened in October 1968 and underwent a major 16-million-dollar transformation in 1988, leading to a complete redesign and reopening in 1992.
The Wildlife Conservation Society operates this educational center, offering programs about animals and nature to students and families throughout New York City.
Visitors need to purchase date-specific tickets beforehand, and the zoo maintains regular feeding schedules for sea lions and other animals throughout the day.
The geodesic dome aviary, originally constructed for the 1964 World's Fair, houses multiple bird species in a temperature-controlled environment resembling their natural habitat.
