The Staten Island Zoo's annual Halloween weekend, with costumed kids trick-or-treating and themed activities around the animal exhibits.
Coney Island's aquarium features sharks, sea turtles, sea lions and penguins, including the Ocean Wonders: Sharks! building and live sea lion shows at the Aquatheater. Admission includes a 4-D theater film.
An open-air amphitheater show at the New York Aquarium where sea lions demonstrate natural behaviors with their trainers while kids cheer from the stands.
A compost farm on Governors Island where visitors meet goats and chickens, see how food scraps become soil and wander herb and vegetable plots. Weekend open hours run through the warm season.
A compact, kid-scaled zoo in Prospect Park with sea lions, red pandas, kangaroos and a barnyard area where children can see farm animals up close. Easy to cover in a couple of hours with little ones.
A warm indoor rainforest at the Central Park Zoo with free-flying birds, monkeys, reptiles and frogs among lush plants, a good stop on chilly days.
