As New Yorkers who live in a state where we experience all four seasons, we’re often used to dealing with some of our favorite attractions being closed at certain points during the year. Luckily for us though, fantastic and historic destinations like the Utica Zoo remain open for 363 days of the year. Talk about impressive! If you’ve yet to ever visit this particular zoo out Oneida County, then make use of this winter break and see what incredible animals call this spot home.

Located out in Central New York, the Utica Zoo has been around since 1914.
