Syracusecity amongst lakes

Home to more than 700 animals of all different species and sizes, from small (the milkweed bug) to the large (Asian elephant), the Rosamond Gifford Zoo will fill up an entire day: Wander between the U.S.S. Antiquities, which is home to a fish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates; Social Animal and Rainforest Area with its lemurs, monkeys, apes, meerkats and fossa; and the Penguin Coast where the black and white birds dive, swim and waddle about. If you have kids, don’t miss the “touch zone” featuring elephants, sheep and goats.
