I also recommend the puppet shows at the central park zoos. Just checked, it’s $120 a year for two adults and a child, free admission to bronx, central park, queens, prospect park zoo, and aquarium.

Poor Giraffe, no wonder Melman has so many medical issues. Your pictures are great! I love the bug carousel, never seen an insect one before.

How long was Emory able to handle at the Zoo? I was thinking of getting there when it opened at 10iah and that we'd last about 2.5, maybe 3 hours including a little lunch. Does that sound like about what emory was able to do? Oh, we’ve been wanting to do this with Anthony! How long was Emory able to handle at the Zoo?

It's off season right now. The place was empty, which was awesome, but that also meant not every exhibit was open. (The children's zoo was closed, for example and most all of the photo op booths.) But that's ok! Because we basically had the entire zoo to ourselves. We'll go back again whenever it's fully open. Erica: Em loves that museum. After we went there recently, he took the longest nap of his life—3.5 hours! It done wore him out! I don’t think the chair-lift was open. It’s off season right now.

For us, I think the highpoint was the chair-lift, which was - and I can almost never say this about experiences where my kids are present - preternaturally peaceful. How kick-ass is the bug carousel?

And he also had a full on conversation with the pink flamingos. At one point, he pointed at them and started yelling, "Boo boo! Boo boo!" I am not sure if he thought they were bleeding underneath that white coat? Or if those weird things they have naturally wrapped around their knees... We informed him over and over again that they weren't hurt at all—just weird looking. It was pretty hilarious. All around. A hilarious day. What is it about the ducks!?

Matthew was not all that impressed by the pandas or the elephants, but those ducks? Well, now THOSE are exceptionally cool animals!
