marc niolaMay 24, 2010Little know fact I picked-up from History Channel, George Washington evaded the British army at night in the fog through Prospect Park to Manhattan.
Reggie SaldivarJune 26, 2010Small and well kept zoo. Only $7 for adults. You can feed the barn animals. The alpacas are especially friendly if you have food. The goats, not so much.
This place is the best hidden gem! So many cute babies!

Daniela DamoiseauxApril 21, 2011Ridiculous! You have to pay the full entrance fee and half of the park is closed. And don't use the vending machines. Half of them don't work. I've had it here.
