Staten Island Zoo

Due to an Air Quality Alert in our area, some of our animal residents may have access to behind-the-scenes spaces or may remain off habitat as a precaution to help keep them healthy and comfortable. Current forecasts indicate these conditions may continue through the weekend, so guests should be aware that some animals may not be visible during their visit. If you don’t see one of your favorite residents, they’re likely enjoying some extra time indoors while air quality conditions improve.

Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the well-being of the animals in our care. If you’re visiting, please take care of yourselves as well by limiting prolonged time outdoors when possible, staying hydrated, and following local air quality recommendations.
