THE OLD PROSPECT PARK ZOO

WHO REMEMBERS THE PROSPECT PARK ZOO IN IS HEYDAY? IT WAS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY . EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD A HIPPO IN A BATHTUB OR HIS ENCLOSURE,TAKE YOU'RE PICK. AND THE TIGER THAT WOULD WALK BACK AND FORTH INSIDE HIS 12X8 FT. PALACE, ONLY TO STOP FOR THE OCCASIONAL STEAK TOSSED HIS WAY.THE SEALS,ELEPHANTS,LION,BEARS,AND HOW CAN WE LEAVE OUT THE INCREDIBLE AROMATIC MONKEY HOUSE.THOUGH VOTED ONE OF THE 10 WORST ZOOS IN AMERICA IN EARLY 80S ITS NOW A GREAT CHILDRENS ZOO. AND IN THE 60S WHEN I WAS A KID MY MOM AND DAD WOULD TAKE ME THERE EVERY WEEKEND IT WAS LIKE GOING TO AFRICA IN BROOKLYN.
