June 11th: the last day of Rahil's vacation. He snuck in a trip to Coney Island and its aquarium, and then a quick stop to the Tisch petting zoo in Central Park. The aquarium, though small, has some nifty exhibits:

The Tisch petting zoo was fun, too.

Alas. The Coney Island Cyclone wasn't running.
Cold and rainy.
