New York State has tons of attractions that are available at one time of the year and inaccessible at another. But there are some that are open to visitors all year round, or at least 363 days a year. Like the Utica Zoo.

Located in central New York State, this zoo has been around for over a century - since 1914.

It is home to animals that you will not find anywhere else in the Empire State. So it is not surprising that people from all over the region come to see them.

In total, this zoo is home to over 200 animals, including lions, red pandas, llamas, badgers, zebras, camels and many others. Some of the animals are currently on the endangered species list.
