Central Park with pets in New York

Central Park with pets in New York

A bunch of activities await us in the famous Central Park, a park that immerses the city with its green areas, beautiful landscapes and lakes in which the tips of the New York skyscrapers reflect.   Its flora extends itself along the 842 acres of land, the biggest park in Manhattan. Many valleys and Elm forests cover the grass where squirrels, rabbits and other animals live, such as turtles and frogs, who scare off with their jumps all the birds who come fishing in the lakes. This is an ideal place for you to come with your pet in perfect symbiosis with the people who visit it, the surroundings and the animals who live there. For that, you have to comply with certain rules set by the park organization so you can fully enjoy it. Dogs can go without a leash in the areas that allow dogs every day from sunrise until 9am and from 9pm until the park closes. At all times, the dog must be on a leash in the other areas of the park and the owners should pick up all the residues that the animals leave in all areas of the park. Don´t let your pet dig or play with the gardens or flowers, or drink and play in the water fountains. You´ll find fountains where they can drink from in various spots around the park. Dogs should also be on a leash in the following areas: Arthur Ross Pinetum, Bridle Path, Cedar Hill, Conservatory Garden, Kerbs Boathouse Plaza, Shakespeare Garden, Strawberry Fields, Turtle Pond Lawn and in the forests. Dogs are welcome in most areas...
Rome with Children: Visit the Bioparco

Rome with Children: Visit the Bioparco

When traveling with family, one must choose plans that can amuse and entertain the little ones as well. And although Rome is famous for its historical attractions and the beauty of its art, the city also offers interesting activities for children.   One of the places you should definitely visit is the Bioparco, which children usually enjoy the most. It is one of the first zoos in the world to allow its guests to meet the animals while they are educated and made more aware about the importance of conserving flora and fauna.   From its location within the glorious Villa Borghese, which was opened in 1911 as a place of entertainment for the Romans, you will be able to admire rare and exotic animals. Despite its initial success, it deteriorated over the years and was restructured several times as a result. The idea of converting it into a bio park emerged in 1994, and the project was based on the principles of the Gilman charitable foundation.   It currently has more than 1,000 animals of some 200 species, including some endangered species: Dendrobates, geckos, Egyptian turtles, mangabeys, Madagascarboas, crocodiles, lions, leopards, elephants and seals are just some of the many animals that will surprise your little ones. The most recent additions to the family are an Asiatic lion named Asoka, Pipa (a hippo) and three meerkats.   Animals are not the only attractions of the garden. There’s also the magnificent botanical collection (with mainly Mediterranean species) that enchants visitors with its beauty and exoticism.   The Bioparco also organizes many activities for children and families that will make...
