No matter which area of the Empire State you happen to call home, you can find all sorts of wildlife waiting for you right outside of your front door. As much as we love to gaze out our windows at whatever animals happen to be strolling on by, there’s another way for you to get up-close and personal with adorable creatures. Giving you the chance to hold an animal you may have never even seen before in real life, check out all that’s waiting for you at New York’s Wild Animal Park.
