Inclusion note: This directory focuses on public visitor attractions located on geographic Long Island, including Brooklyn and Queens as well as Nassau and Suffolk, where live animals, animal exhibits or hands-on animal experiences are a substantial part of the visit. General farms, preserves without visitor-facing animal exhibits, veterinary facilities, adoption centers, and wildlife rehabilitation operations without a regular visitor experience are excluded.
Research & data notes
Official attraction websites and municipal sources were reviewed for attraction type, address, current visitor experience, operating pattern and public access. Coordinates are embedded directly in this file and are not geocoded in real time. The Holtsville Ecology Site animal sanctuary is not included because Brookhaven's 2026 plan calls for a gradual closure and transfer of the remaining animals. Hours, prices and animal experiences can change; confirm directly before visiting.
