NEW YORK CITY

It's a breeze to walk around. Despite being compact, the zoo boasts a diverse range of animals to observe. We particularly loved strolling through areas that felt like we were wandering through a jungle within the zoo. Our two energetic 4-year-olds who had an absolute blast!

During our visit in early May 2021, we found that only a handful of other rides were operational, not the full lineup. Surprisingly, there wasn't a single queue for any of the rides, and the majority of the staff members we encountered were quite friendly.

Doing the UN HQ tour doesn't seem necessary. Most of what you'll see there is stuff you can easily find online. Plus, the line for check-in in the morning is pretty long. While the general assembly floor is somewhat interesting, there isn't a whole lot else to see. Overall, you might end up feeling like you've paid too much for an experience that's slow and inefficient.
