At Lefferts Historic House, cold weather brings the past to life. Lefferts offers Park visitors the chance to warm up like Brooklynites did in Dutch colonial times. From 1:30-2:30pm, Colonial Crafts lets kids make arts and crafts the old fashioned way. And from 3-4pm, play Games from the Past like Lenape Dice and Knuckle Bones. Both programs are free and open to the public.

Prospect Park Zoo

"Ki-wee, ki-wee, ki-wee!" That's a greeting from the Prospect Park Zoo's pair
of American kestrel falcons, Guinevere and Arthur. The birds perch in a
newly designed wooded habitat just outside the Discovery Center. Listen
closely, and you may hear the characteristic high-pitched call for yourself.

Visitors to the Discovery Center can peer at these petite birds of prey
through a floor-to-ceiling viewing window. The Zoo also provides binoculars
and birding guides at the exhibit so curious birdwatchers can study the
other local natives flying nearby. The Discovery Center is open to the
public on Saturdays and Sundays between 11am and 3pm.
