 | | Alex M, Co-op Member | Medium-sized zoo that is very well kept and well-regarded. They were just re-accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Next door to the zoo is the Binghamton children's museum The Discovery Center, which makes a nice day trip to see both. |

 | | Nancy R, Co-op Member | | This is a struggling small zoo, my local zoo, and I recommend it for a fun day with younger children, when combined with a visit to the adjacent Discovery Center. Older children and parents may say "that's it?" Some new exhibits have revived the lower portion of the zoo, the depressing tiger and penguin enclosures in the upper zoo need work. Be warned that it is built on a hill-great if your kids need to burn off energy but not so great for grandparents with limited mobility. |
