Full description
Today we will depart from New York and drive to Long Island Game Farm-Wildlife Park and Children’s Zoo, where there are various animals such as deer, goats, ponies, rabbits and rare birds. In addition, the zoo also includes various educational and entertainment areas, where you can not only get close to the animals but also learn knowledge. Long Island is an oyster producing area, so it is certainly worth a delicious seafood feast. We recommend you to go to Nicky’s On the Bay (at your own expense). Then go to the Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium, which is a white Spanish Revival building with a rich collection (a total of more than 40,000 pieces).

Long Island Game Farm-Wildlife Park and Children’s Zoo

Long Island Game Farm-Wildlife Park and Children’s Zoo officially opened in the spring of 1970 as the island’s first zoo. The zoo is home to many exciting exotic and native species. An important aspect of the wildlife park is that it serves as a sanctuary for rescued, rehabilitated or relocated animals, including Sicilian miniature donkeys, alpacas, African sulcata tortoises, peacocks, rabbits, goats, sheep, and more. Here is also the Internet’s favorite Capybara. You can also feed the small animals and experience the fun of close interaction with the small animals.

Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium

Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium was founded by William Vanderbilt. He loved the oceans and the natural world. William Vanderbilt exhibited thousands of the marine specimens he had gathered – one of the world’s most extensive, privately assembled collections from the pre-atomic era – in his own marine museum, the Hall of Fishes, which he opened to the public in 1922. The 43-acre waterfront Vanderbilt Estate, Museum and Planetarium complex counts among its extensive collections (which total more than 40,000 objects) the mansion, curator’s cottage, a seaplane hangar and boathouse, antique household furnishings, rare decorative and fine art, the archives and photographic record of Mr. Vanderbilt’s circumnavigations of the globe, and published books of his travels.
