Join Turnstile Tours, Prospect Park Alliance and the Prospect Park Zoo for an inside look at the beautiful public buildings and artwork that have adorned the park since its founding in 1867, including a special exploration of the beloved Prospect Park Zoo and its one of a kind architecture. 

For over 150 years, Prospect Park has been a showcase for beautiful public buildings and artwork, with representations from eras including Beaux-Arts, City Beautiful, New Deal Modernism, and contemporary LEED-certified projects. This tour will examine some of the fine architectural details and ongoing restoration work, from the era of Vaux and Olmsted to the present day. This tour will also feature a visit to Prospect Park Zoo to explore its notable artworks and buildings, and to learn about the recovery and reopening of the zoo after severe flooding caused it to be closed for nine months.
