Ross Park Zoo was founded in 1875 and is located in the quaint town of Binghamton, New York. Although it's rather small, the Ross Park Zoo provides plenty of family fun.
The 90-acre property is home to a variety of species such as African penguins, snow leopards, red wolves, and more. Admission for individuals aged 3 and above is under $10.
Kids can feed farm animals like goats and sheep for a small fee, and there are various kid-friendly events throughout the year, from scavenger hunts to face painting and beyond.
The Ross Park Zoo is known for its Red Panda Wild Encounters, where visitors can feed the endangered animal. The red pandas are also featured in regular exhibits.
Ross Park Zoo welcomes visitors year-round daily, but weather-related closures are not uncommon. Visitors can rent strollers, and wheelchairs are available at no cost.
