The entrance to the zoo includes the 4D Theater, but it is optional, which has special effects, the chair moves, snow falls, etc. The movie lasts 13 minutes.

The park offers a package that includes the Butterfly Garden, Congo Gorilla Forest, Jungles World, transportation in the monorail, 4-D theater and insects carousel. To tour the zoo you can choose between walking, or use transport means, but you would have to pay for them, there are: a road train, a Skyfari aerial tram that offers a splendid aerial view of the park and a monorail call the Bengali Express that circulates in the field dedicated to Asia. The tour "experience", includes all of the attractions and activities that normally have to pay separately, as are the butterflies, the gorillas, the tape of insects, etc. , it's well worth it. Do not forget to go to the gift shop, the prices are not high, the food, on the other hand, is the one that is expensive, so we suggest you to bring your picnic and a good amount of beverages to save you money, there is also a way of saving by purchasing your tickets online. The Zoo has a good amount of tables to sit, also bring sunscreen since half of the park is in full sunlight, do not forget your comfortable footwear, the walk is long if you want to go around the zoo, the children are the ones enjoying this site.

Our Advice:
To get out of the routine and the noise of New York, this is the place with many things to see and to do, the tour is entertaining and diverse, it has different animals from around the world.
This is an average Price; it changes according to each place. The New York City Aquarium was inaugurated on 10 December 1896; you can observe marine life and detail many species, such as moray eels, moray eels, tiger sharks, sea lions, walruses, otters, seals and penguins, turtles, toads and frogs. Its facilities occupy an area of 14 hectares and is home to approximately 8000 copies of more than 350 different species of aquatic fauna. The aquarium was severely damaged by the storm surge of hurricane Sandy, but was able to re-open from May 25 2013 in part and exhibitions are once again open all day. It is expected that the full reparations are going to take until the year 2016. However, the organization of the aquarium allows you to both children and adults the opportunity to learn about the species they are seeing, because in addition to the written information, it also provides guides and the opportunity to speak with experts zoologists on the animals they are watching. Shows are organised to feed the penguins and observe sea lions in the Aquatheater; and the Planet Earth - shallow seas 4D Experience: an attraction in which the viewers are imbued with the sounds, sights, scents and colors of the ocean.
