Description

For those who want a zoo that feels like a farm (not NYC), this is a relatively small game farm that lets you get close to the animals. You won't feel like you're competing with tourists for every square inch of space (see Bronx Zoo if that's your thing).

From their site: The Long Island Game Farm Wildlife and Children's Zoo features hundreds of animals, including an 18-foot giraffe, red kangaroos, kinkajous, cougars, Barbados sheep, peacocks, and the only lemurs born and bred on Long Island. Our animal collections include both exotic and indigenous breeds. We have various breeds of monkeys, buffalo, colorful parrots, zebra, aoudads, camels, ostrich, alligator, and much more. [1]
