Step off Fifth Avenue into a rain forest alive with tropical birds, endangered monkeys, and fascinating frogs. Chill out with penguins in a cool Antarctic habitat, or soak up some sun with sea lions (don't miss their famous daily feedings). You can spend an hour or an afternoon experiencing the jewel-like 6.5- acre Central Park Zoo and its residents - more than 130 species, from tremendous polar bears to tiny leafcutter ants, to the gentle creatures of the Tisch Children's Zoo.
