Queens Zoo
Category: Zoos and Aquariums
The zoo is operated by the Wildlife Conservation Society in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
The Queens Zoo opened in 1968 as the Flushing Meadows Zoo as it is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The zoo is home mostly to animals native to North America.
The Queens Zoo is the only one of the four zoos in New York City to exhibit Spectacled Bears. The zoo was constructed on the site of the 1964 New York World's Fair, and the zoo's aviary is a geodesic dome, designed by Buckminster Fuller and used during the 1964 Fair.
