While many Central Park tours are available, from walking and running tours to sunset, bike, and pedicab tours, most do not include Central Park Zoo tickets and Central Park Zoo tours. You may, however, be able to glimpse the sea lions, whose enclosure can be seen from outside the zoo’s perimeter, during a broader tour of the park.
To enter the zoo, buy a general admission ticket at the entrance and explore the main zoo and the Tisch Children’s Zoo at your leisure. Alternatively, you can purchase a package ticket online before arriving so you don’t have to wait in line. This ticket offers discounted entry to the main zoo, the Tisch Children’s Zoo, and one entry to the zoo’s 4D Theater, which uses air blasts, lighting, water mists, vibrations, and other sensory tricks to enhance the experience.
