The Staten Island Zoo is a compact, eight-acre park known locally as the "biggest little zoo." It features over a thousand animals, including a world-renowned reptile wing, rare Amur leopards, and an interactive petting zoo. Its smaller footprint means you can comfortably navigate the entire grounds in just a few hours without exhausting the family. While it is not the main attraction, there is still an aquarium available for viewing.

General entry is $12.00 for adults (15 and over), $9.00 for seniors aged 60 and over, and $8.00 for children ages 3 to 14, while members and children 2 years old and under are admitted free. Check their website for more information.
