ON APRIL 28TH 1916 THE PROSPECT PARK ZOO OPENED AS WE KNOW IT NOW. DOES NOT HAVE THE ANIMALS WE WERE USED TOO AS IT'S A CHILDRENS ZOO TODAY. BUT THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO WHEN I WAS A KID. THEY HAD ELEPHANTS, A TIGER, LION, MONKEY HOUSE, A RHINO, HIPPO, BEARS AND THE SEALS. IN THE EARLY 80'S WAS VOTED ONE OF THE 10 WORST ZOOS IN AMERICA AS THE ANIMALS WERE IN SMALL ENCLOSURES. BUT WHAT DID WE KNOW, ALL WE KNEW WAS THERE WAS A ZOO WITH ANIMALS FROM AFRICA IN BROOKLYN. EVERY KID LOVED THE PLACE.
