Opened in 1875 and the 5th oldest zoo in the nation, Ross Park Zoo is home to a variety of animals including endangered species like the African penguin, Amur leopard, black and white ruffed lemur, golden-headed lion tamarin, red panda, red wolf, and snow leopard. The exhibits are spaced along a loop on Binghamton’s South Mountain with a snack shop and playground in the middle. Much of the path is shaded which can provide much needed relief on hot summer days.
