Queens Zoo

The Queens Zoo is New York City’s tribute to American wildlife. The 11-acre zoo had its prestigious opening on the grounds of the 1964 World’s Fair. You and your guests will experience a feeling of being transported to majestic American locales such as the Great Plains, the rocky California coast or a northeastern forest. Because this area attracts native wildlife as well, it has become a highly coveted bird-watching site.

As you explore the many pathways, you will take in beautiful artwork such as the famous Gates of Life, ornamental bronze gates that depict mammals, birds, marine life, and plants. Experience wildlife and exhibits that share the wild heritage of the American continents with both visitors from around the globe and urban dwellers alike.

Let our event specialists help you take advantage of this classic American setting that evokes a sense of both local and national pride.
