A lot of the animals here were sleeping or resting upon arrival until the end of the walk. Not sure if it was bad timing (1pm-3:30ishpm). Walk around the loop took about hour and a half with eating time. There are actually some nifty animals here that you wouldnt expect to be at this location. They also have a petting/feeding area adjacent to the zoo entrance. 25cents to get a handful of sheep food or whatnot. It does smell like their excretes so do be alarmed if sensitive to scent. Overall, it is a really nice zoo to go around It is 8$ per adult & children under 3 are free. Yelp's online e-ticket discount is not even a real thing. Prices are the same at admission gate. There is re-entry when you leave as well. They will stamp your receipt or hand. Receipt = entrance ticket. read more

We loved everything there. Sea lions were so cute so we even got one for ourself. Zookeepers were very friendly and the sandwiches they sold were good too. Did not see alligator today, but sad. Farm family petting was pretty fun though, but bit smelly. read more

A small single-loop zoo with sea lions, lynx, bears, lots of ducks, swans, aviary, coyotes, and a petting zoo in a separate loop. If you're a WCS member, free membership. Simple, but straightforward. They have free parking off 55th St. Lots of little feeding stations for the birds and the petting zoo is separate from the rest of the zoo loop. There's a small cafe, and various feeding times and grooming times for the different animals. A small playground near the bears. Not a lot of seating around the zoo, though. That's one missing piece, guess they don't want you lounging around there. read more

I've been here thrice, and I still enjoy it very much every time. The best thing about the Queens Zoo, hands down, is the aviary! It's this enclosed dome with an amazing walk-up path that winds all the way around and down. You'll spot many feathered friends flying overhead, sitting in the shade, and eating from the cups of seeds. You'll feel like you're not in NYC anymore. As another Yelper mentioned, make sure to eat before you come, because the fare is very limited. Your only meal options will come in the form of vending machines, though if you want hot food, you can get a pizza or cheeseburger. You'll have to microwave those after they come out of the vending machine. The Queens Zoo isn't very big, but one of its quaint features is its size. It's designed in a way that little legs won't get tired from the walk (I brought a group of summer camp kids here, and they had a blast). I consider this my own little oasis, because it's never that crowded here and you can peacefully explore at your own pace. The lynx and spectacled bear are adorable - if you catch them when they're not hiding out from the sun or napping! Make sure to head over to the petting zoo, too. Whether you're 5 or 25, you'll get a kick out of coaxing the friendly, slightly greedy farm residents to gobble (no, slobber) the pellets out of your hand. read more

Great place to take my 15 month old. I didn't want to take her to the Bronx Zoo cause she is not ready for that yet. So we end up coming here and it was everything and more then what I imagined. She enjoyed it and loved walking and looking at the animals. After the zoo we went to the little amusement park after. I would definitely consider this zoo before driving out to the Bronx. It close and has a lot to offer. read more

Small but fun zoo! You'll definitely see everything here within an hour. We were here on a Sunday around 4pm. It wasn't crowded. This place is fun especially for kids. If you love animals like us, you'll definitely have a lot of fun here. If you love animals & have kids, this is definitely a must place to visit with your kids. This zoo is inside the Flushing Meadows Corona Park, near the carousel & the hall of science. $8 for adult to get in. It's definitely worth it! read more

It's great place for the kids. Petting zoo is more fun. They have llama's, goats and lamb to feed and pet. There is an Aviary and sea lion show. Plenty of parking and free food from city for the kids for summer( in the parking lot) Not crowded, clean and shaded zoo. Not a great variety on the wild animals. It is actually good for toddlers and little kids. read more

We love the Queens Zoo. We have been there many times since my son was born (he will be three soon) and always enjoy it. The layout/design flows nicely and you amble your way through the zoo in an hour or for the afternoon! The petting zoo is kind of fun too. But if you do plan to spend some time there, pack a snack or lunch, because they only offer vending machines in the "food court" and it's really crap. Oh, and of course, before you reach the entrance of the zoo, there is the carousel (which, oddly, I didn't see mentioned in the reviews I read). It was $2 (as of last summer/fall) and my son loved it (actually, so did I)!! ALWAYS have to have a ride on it before we venture into the zoo!! All in all, it's a little gem in Queens that shouldn't be missed!!! It's not the Bronx Zoo and it's not Central Park. It's the Queens Zoo. Perfect just the way it is. read more

I can't say enough about this zoo. We have been raving about our experience to friends and nobody has even heard of it. It's a real shame because there are some awesome animals and the property is just beautiful. I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday on a slightly rainy day and we probably saw 6 people during the hour and a half period we were there. We really just saw some animal feeders and zoo keepers, who were all really friendly and answered some questions for us. Call me crazy but having a beautiful little zoo with gorgeous animals all to yourself in the rain was kind of romantic. We saw elk, pumas, sea lions, goats, alpaca, a big bear, a texas long horn, a giant rabbit, cute cows, lynx, coyotes, bison..the list goes on and on. Our favorite was the little Southern Pudu which basically looks like a miniature deer. We also really enjoyed the petting zoo (Yea, we're in our early 30's). All of the animals were so sweet and we had fun feeding them the animal pellets for just a quarter. Last, but not least, the aviary in the center of the zoo is absolutely stunning. Just the structure itself is breathtaking from the inside. Not to mention all of the cool colorful parrots, birds and greenery within it. Overall, I'd say skip that stupid overcrowded Bronx Zoo and have a more personalized experience with this just as awesome and much more manageable zoo. Will definitely be back. A perfect way to share the day and only spend $16 for two people! read more

I went 7/5 and had a nice time. It was a super hot day, but the Zoo was small enough that you could walk it in under an hour. As a cat lover, I was excited to see the puma, but she was sleeping in her cave when I first went too see her. She looked like a female, sure she was. The second time around, she saw us, let out a big yawn, and went back to sleep. Just like my kitty does at home, very cute. The lynx were cool as well, but they looked really hot too. Nice bald eagle. In fact, the aviary was a highlight. The only animal that looked like it beat the heat was the sea lion. It had a nice pool to swim around and was enjoying himself for sure. Very close to where I live, took the Q23 and it took about 10 minutes to get there. Grabbed a cab on the way back. If you live in Queens, check it out. read more

I have no idea Queens has a zoo until the day we Googled it! It is small and there aren't a lot of animals actually. Well, to be fair, there are a good amount of animals but they were hiding when we were there. So, we did not see a good number of them. Nonetheless, it is fun to walk around with children and point out the animals in the zoo. We did see see lion, birds, puma, goats and others. One cool thing about this zoo is they have a petting area! Kids can feed the goats themselves and they surely love that! If you don't want to trek out to Bronx or pay a hefty price for Central Park Zoo, this is a good alternative. read more

Love this zoo. Perfect for toddlers to enjoy the day when Bronx Zoo seems overwhelming. Free parking if you can find one in the lot! Nice circular route around the Zoo by feet. You don't really need a map - you can't get lost! Petting zoo is adjacent to the entrance of the zoo. There are well shaded areas and many areas around the zoo where you can sit and relax as well. The bird atrium was one of my favorite as you slowly go up the walkway as you view the various birds flying and roaming freely yet caged! The small playground at this zoo is also very nice and seems new,clean and naturally shaded by large trees. Sea lions & feeding hours are about 3/4 times a day! The petting zoo is also pretty cool - mostly goats & flock of sheep to feed. Llamas, bunnies, horses are here as well but you're not able to get close enough to feed those furry creatures. Bathrooms are placed everywhere so you won't have trouble finding one ever so often. read more

Took my kids to this quaint zoo located in Flushing Meadow park in Queens, NY. The zoo and petting zoo located across the main entrance is great for young children. I recently went with 6 kids and my sisters. The kids enjoyed the walk around the facility, seeing the birds, ducks and other animals. They shared the highlight of their visit was attending the animal demonstrations, seeing the "seals, black bears, bald eagles,bthe big animals They enjoyed witnessing the howling coyotes, and feeding the animals at the petting zoo". read more

An unexpected treat in the middle of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park! Having grown up in Queens, I remember well what this zoo used to look like. It was free, which made it a great resource for the borough's working-class families looking for a place to take their kids. As a first zoo, it was decent but probably not much to write home about (even though home was nearby). The zoo now features a great more variety of species, as well as a beautifully landscaped walk around the grounds. The bald eagle was a wonderful surprise, too. It's no longer free, unfortunately, so it might not serve as great a number of people, which is too bad for a zoo in the middle of a great New York City public park. read more

Fun place to visit rather then going all the way to the bronx. Growing up in queens this was my first time here. It was very enjoyable and I would go back again. Easy to get to by train or bus and the staff was very polite. read more

Lovely zoo in the Queens borough and also part of the Flushing Meadows Corona Park. It's not as big as other zoos I've been to but there are quite a few cute animals to see such as alligators, sea lions, bison, owls, and of course, all the farm animals including sheep, cows, and the horses. The main loop will probably take between 30-45 minutes depending on your pace, then the children's zoo and farm is directly across from the main ticket booth. Prices for admission are very reasonable. I definitely hope to come back next time I'm in the area. read more

This is a cute zoo. They have a free parking lot but it is kind of small so you may have to wait for a spot. The zoo features different types of animals. They have sea lion feedings as well as an area where you can pet/feed some animals. Bring quarters to purchase food for them! General admission I believe is about $8. There is plenty of grass space to have a picnic or play frisbee/catch etc. Very big big park area. read more

One of the four zoos maintained by Wildlife Conservation Services, Queens Zoo is hidden inside Flushing Meadows Corona Park. It's a small zoo and probably take you less than 2 hours to walk through. Their petting zoo is styled to look like a farm with architectures similar to those of the mid to later 1600s (similar to the architecture of Queens County Farm Museum). My favorite exhibit is the aviary. Remnant of the 1964 New York World's Fair, the aviary is in the shape of a geodensic dome similar to a buckyball. Spiraling walkway leads you around the aviary as you admire the flocking birds and the massive quacker parrot nest. Great place to have lots of fun in Queens. The surrounding area can get a bit sketchy around late Fall when there is no one in the park (you have to walk into the park down a path into the zoo). Would definitely not recommend coming here alone during that time. Other than that's a pretty decent place. For the longest I thought the zoo was not easily accessible with public transportation but I found a bus that run from my neighborhood to about 3 blocks away from the zoo. Score! read more

This is a beautiful and hidden zoo in the Queens, you can basically spend less than an hour and finish it.

This zoo is a childhood favorite! It's probably one of the smallest zoos in the Wild Conservation Society of NY group of zoos. For the size I would not go out of my way to visit this place unless you plan on enjoying the park (Flushing Meadow Park). The zoo trail is shaped circular so you basically start at the ticket booth and circle round back to exit. If you visit I suggest you walk REALLY slow, take your time and enjoy every inch of the zoo because if you rush you'll be done in 20 mins tops. In my opinion the best part of the zoo is the large dome housing the birds so that they can freely fly around and the sea lions (seals). They have a cafe area/building just adjacent to the seal lions pool/den. While visiting this zoo I'd recommend the park carousel located just outside the zoo and they also have a petting zoo just across the ticket booth of the zoo that the kids will love probably more so than the actual zoo itself. Recommended Trip (1-Day): Queens Zoo, Petting Zoo, Park Carousel and then a short walk over to the Hall of Science located within the park. read more

Small but fun and eventful zoo located inside flushing meadows corona park (the park with the famous giant globe structure in movies like Men in Black etc.). The fee to get in is like $8 for adults and $5 for children. You can feed various animals e.g., llamas, sheep, bunnies, cows, mule and a horse. There are roosters, boare hogs in the feeding zone, but never had a chance to feed them. There is another side to the zoo for viewing birds, wild animals such as bears, pumas, coyote's and more. There are seals in this zoo, so clearly enough to bring children as they are sure to be excited. Pros: low cost admission, feeding zoo, learning activities provided by staff, plenty of zoo sites. Cons: somewhat limited and small, but that may play well if you don't want to get stuck all day at a zoo. read more

WIth a 3 year old niece, I try to come by this Zoo a few times a year. I generally go there on weekends and it has never been super packed which is great. Between the Zoo and the Petting Zoo, you can definitely spend an afternoon there. The only downside in my opinion are the food options. The cafe does not have a kitchen so it's basically seating with Vending Machines. They have sandwiches and lunch options. A great and not expensive way to spend a weekend afternoon read more

Im so happy this zoo is here! This was kind of a lets do something moment when I asked my niece where she wants to go she said "the zoo!"Parking was good(I got lucky) and got a good spot in 2 mins but it's PACKED and if you don't come at the right time you'll be circling the parking lot. Admssions is cheap and free for 2 years and under. The zoo is clean, lots of animals and beautiful spring flowers. There's also a small area to buy snacks and stuffed animals for the kids. My niece and I had soooo much fun and we'll be coming back. read more

Reasonable prices, alright sized zoo. A bit on the smaller side but it's good especially for little kids or elderly people that love animals and like petting zoo that's not too big to get the kids attention and the elderly don't have to walk too far. Decent staffs and pretty organized place. Not too hard to find but might need to look for it a bit in the Flushing Meadows Park. A few different animals but not too many. read more

The zoo is quite small but they have some rare animals worth checking out such as the Andean Bear and Souther Pudu. The enclosures and decorated nicely and offer the animals natural stimulation. There is a large walk through aviary which offers the fun challenge of finding all the birds that are hiding. The zoo is clean and an overall pleasant place to visit. read more

I would rather take my toddler to Queens Zoo than Bronx Zoo on any given day. Queens' Zoo might not have too many runways, overlooks and habitats for animals but since it is smaller (you don't need the entire day for this visit) and mostly well shaded, it is much more enjoyable for little ones especially on a hot day. Moreover, section devoted to petting zoo is clean and animals are eager to be petted. And after you done, you can enjoy Flushing Meadows Corona Park and snap some pics underneath of the Unisphere. In general, smaller zoo with less crowds, better maintained and well shaded throughout - perfect for visits with strollers and toddlers. read more

Not a big zoo by any stretch of the imagination. (The Bronx Zoo makes this place look like a Pet Store. And not like a PetSmart. Like, a Petland Discounts), but it's only $8 to get in and there's "free" (sometimes impossible to come by) parking. Plus, after walking the zoo, you can go to the petting zoo section and feed some goats, and then you have all of the massive Flushing Corona Park to wander after the fact. It's a great place to go and see and learn about some animals not indigenous to this area. They do have a few more exotic animals that I wasn't expecting to see in such a small zoo. Namely the Andean Bear (a rare, endangered bear native to the Andes mountains, their current highlighted conservation effort) and the Pudu (the smallest of the Deer family), both of which have young born within the past year. We also got to watch the sea lion feeding, which they do a few times a day. Well worth the $8. Though Bronx Zoo is better, this one is much easier to get to. read more

Nice way to spend time with kids. My kids had lot of fun here yesterday. We took them to play at the rides first. Then headed to the zoo. Like other mentioned it is a smaller zoo, but it gets the job done. It was about 10$ for adults, kids$7 and under 3 is free. Kids see a little bit here and there. The seals were really fun to see and you can watch them be fed three times a day. I like how they have educational stations. Kids can walk up and learn something. They show things like bird feathers and eggs. The best part was the smaller barn type zoo. The goats, lamas, ponys and cows. We bought the food to feed the animals and that was nice for the kid. If your in the area I think it's a great idea. Flushing meadow park is nearby to enjoy as well. read more

I prefer the conservatory's other location in Central Park Zoo. The Queens location is dusty and blah.

Tiny zoo located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park is decent for adults who (like me) aren't big fans of zoos. They don't have many exhibits but the ones they do have are in good shape at least. My favorite are the Pumas and Lynx. The $10 admission also covers the petting zoo across the way. Good for kids and non zoo fans but others may think it's too small. read more

I just threw my daughter's 1st b-day two weeks ago with Queens Zoo. The registrar Alison and party coordinator Kim did an amazing job with setting up the party room, arranging the animal guide and petting zoo, and planning activities for the duration of the day. The only thing that was confusing for our families and friends was locating the party room. They were directed to end of the zoo near the bison and sea lion exhibit by the wild room. That would be where all the vending machines are at the end of the zoo. The party room provided more than enough space for the layout of the party. 3 tables were set up for food, drinks, cake cutting, and even a mini dessert/candy bar. We had 34 guests (7 children and 27 adults). We were expecting 36 in total but 2 of our guests couldn't make it with their kids. There were two long rectangular tables set up to accommodate all of our guests. Also, interns were at hand to help out with setting up, handing out, and guiding the children for the animal tour. As part of the domestic animal discovery package, our party includes a duration of 2 hours in total, admission for all guests, encounter with a live animal (we chose the giant rabbit), petting zoo/guided tour to all of the animal exhibits, arts and crafts activities for the kids, party room, and public parking for our guests. They also provided goody bags for the children to take home. And a gift for our birthday girl. The only drawback is you provide the food, utensils, paper cups, decor, etc. Not sure if they kept our party count since we were missing seating for 6 of our guests including ourselves. One of the interns had to find an additional table and chairs to accommodate everyone. I would suggest all future visitors to double check with the coordinators with all of the party arrangements before the guests arrival. Prior to the party, we cooked and set up food for our guests- house salad, pasta salad, sauteed chicken, and pizzas from the local area for the kids. And, we had 2 mason drink dispensers- one with sparkling raspberry tea and another with blood orange punch for kids. We add in orange/lime slices and mint leaves to the tea/blood orange for flavor. For the birthday cake, we did a multi-layer ombre vanilla cake in bright colors (thanks to Wilton gel color) with cream cheese frosting over pink pearl beads and sprinkles. My younger sister also baked a dozen rainbow cupcakes for the kids. Our daughter is a huge Minnie Mouse fan so we add in the face with the ears and bow in addition to butterflies decor. For the mini dessert/candy bar, we set up rice Krispies treat shaped in Minnie Mouse and candy jars filled with jelly belly, M&M's, and various soft candies. The weather was 70 degrees surprisingly but it was expected to rain on that day. Even so, the children had a fun day. They got a chance to feed and pet some animals-llama, goats, and ducks. There were also domestic animals- rabbits, sheep, horses, cows, and pigs. We also spotted the bison, antelope, alligator, and birds. There were others that I don't recall since I was holding my daughter on the guided tour. Some of the animals we didn't get to see were the sea lions, bears, pumas, coyotes, alligator, and hogs which was understandable b/c of the weather and time of the year. For a small zoo without the crowds, this is great for children to visit and feed some animals and view attractions/activities planned throughout the year. Summer time would be at its best to view all of the animals since weather can only permit a handful at the colder months. Except with a few minor things at the party, my daughter's 1st b-bday with Queens Zoo was definitely our highlight to end the year. I would love to bring her back in the summer! read more

Queens Zoo - Zoos Near Me - Corona, New York

Its like a half a zoo.... I wanted Rhinos ! NO FREAKIN RHINOS! We were on our way to the hall of science but their summer hours are done at 2pm but luckily this place was right down the block and open till 5pm. Their bird house was cute the kids seem to like it and so did we. The animals left something to be desired, but the sea lions made me laugh. They would make this funny noise and when i started filming it they stopped so when i said forget it and walked away they made the noise again..... Animals are buttholes too its not just people. It was super cheap to get in for like 2 kids and 2 Adults $26 but like i said there weren't many animals... They have a petting zoo part which was kinda cute, but i like big animals you don't get to see all the time like sharks with freakin laser beams attached to their heads. read more

Came in on a cold Sunday afternoon with husband, sister and fiance. It's nice to have an opportunity to go to a zoo for $8 and to not feel the need to spend the ENTIRE day there. The zoo is well cared for, we saw multiple workers walking around and picking up any trash. They gave us a nice hello and continued on their way. We were able to see the bears, puma, buffalo as well as a variety of other large animals. It took us about an hour and 1/2 to walk through. There is a beautiful aviary with a double entrance (to keep the birds in) that you can walk through. The scenery is nice and the sounds of all the different types of birds flying around you is quite impressive. Across the path is a petting zoo. Admission for the regular zoo is included. There are many food machines you can get pellets from for the animals. A great assortment of goats, sheep, donkeys, pigs, horses, etc. Unfortunately in the winter they cover up the sink area for you to wash your hands. read more

I came here for the first time with my bf. I might've came here when I was younger but I don't think so but this is a real zoo compared to the Prospect Park zoo. They feature a lot of wild exotic animals like the bobcat, elk, bison and bears. I do wish they had lions and tigers but I guess I'll see that in another zoo. It's also nice that they put a lot of heart to make the zoo look attractive and clean. The highlights are the Aviary which is a large dome of birds and the barn. The barn is like the size of an actual farm. They had plenty of goats, a few sheeps and a few large cows. I enjoy petting the sheeps. Some of the goats were timid but smart. When I reached out my hand to give them a pellet, they all just stood there staring at me until one of them was brave enough to slowly walk towards me for the pellet. Once he has it in his mouth, he quickly jumps back. I figured I couldn't pet them so I moved on to the alpacas. The alpacas look fun. I wish they would allow us to pet them but I guess they bite. Some of the fun animals you can pet and feed are the Suffolk sheep which looked aging to me and the goats. I would come back to this zoo just for the barn. It's because of this zoo that I'm willing to purchase a membership. :) read more

This is the best zoo in NYC for a nice walk or date. Don't expect the whole Noah's ark crew lined up to entertain you. It's a small underfunded local zoo. Not a popular field trip spot. No tourists at all. Mostly local families. Went on a Saturday from 10am~1PM, not crowded at all. A small 1hr minimum walk-through with fewer screaming children than Central Park or Bronx Zoo. All wheelchair accessible, including bird aviary. PETTING ZOO - You can feed the goats, sheep and rabbits. They've got horses, llamas, and cows but they're double fenced so you can't reach to touch or feed them. Food pellets/25 cents. MAIN ZOO- Some of the animals have spacious exhibits. They've got a small herd of buffalo of at least 5 to 6. All grazing peacefully. The pair of bears are being set up for mating currently. Not going so well. Three sea lions, each seem to get their own caretaker. They are well looked after. You can feed the ducks. Alligator exhibit (seasonal) was unavailable on 04/16/2016. CAFE- Bring your own lunch unless you want a shitty pre-packaged $7 sandwich and $3 soda bottle. Other overpriced food items include Ice cream, yoghurt, salad, candy bars, pop tarts, gatorade, coffee. RESTROOM- Available near cafe. read more

I've worked with animals and I've worked and volunteered at aquariums and zoos. This one is by far the worst I've seen (excluding central park). Brooklyn is way more bank for your $8 and Bronx is better but obviously more expensive. There were two HUGE issues with this park. I must admit that the grounds were really well kept. ANIMAL ABUSE: There is no way in hell that curious and active sea lions should be in that small and shallow of a pool. It looked 6 feet deep at best for only a few feet, then the rest seemed to be about 2 feet deep. It was also not that long across. They looked bored and as someone who has worked with them, and lived across from a pier full of California Sea Lions, I know that they are miserable. The coyotes are in a weird hill that has no stimulation, they were pacing around and howling at the sirens. The zoo is propped up right next to the busy highway. Even the pigs were pacing around, as were the bears. Pacing is a sign of frustration and boredom. They were doing the same path in a circle over and over again. It was terribly depressing. Anyone who knows animals knows they weren't happy. PLANNING: I thought that it was obnoxious that many of the exhibits had a window to see the animals through. The exhibits are completely closed in, and small to begin with, but then you also have to see the animals through a small glass that everyone is smashed up against trying to find the animals. Why not have them be open on more sides? The bird exhibits were also weird because there were native species with random tropical birds around. The parrots were squealing and flying around and the smaller birds and ducks were moving around to avoid them. Obviously they were stressed because they wouldn't naturally ever encounter these loud birds! The zoo was so insufficient that you loop around and find yourself at the exit without even realizing it. Either way I was glad to leave because it was making my whole group very VERY depressed. I'd take your $8 and go to the Brooklyn zoo. It had much more to see and was set up a lot better. This zoo needs to be shut down or fixed, this is an animal jail for sure. read more

Spread out over 11 acres, the Queens Zoo is home to more than 75 species of animals, all of which are indigenous to the Americas. The zoo, which is open 365 days a year, features winding paths and nature trails, where visitors come into contact with everything from pumas to bears to owls. In the waterway, sand hill cranes and ducks co-exist with alligators during the warm-weather months. There is an outdoor aquatic area, where sea lions, walruses and seals swim, play, and dry themselves on rocks. (Feeding time always brings many human spectators.) One of the most famous aspects is the aviary, a large, caged area where parrots, turkeys, peacocks and sloths live with countless ducks and a few pigeons that have sneaked in from the outside. It was created out of the Winston Churchill Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair. Across a walkway is a petting farm with Andean llamas and alpacas, enormous cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, goats, and horses. Just outside the zoo is a carousel with 64 jumping horses, a lion and a few chariots. read more
