This was a classic zoo experience with and adult twist. Spending the day among the amazing animals is a wonedrful and humbling expereince for an adult getting in touch with his/her humanity. The zoo offers a variety of animals and attractions that delight and inspire. The special Congo celebration activities were worth making the trip for - the African Dancers were fantastic with energy and excitement that spread throughout the crowd. The gorilla and tiger exhibits were must sees, as well as the Asian jungle. There is so much to see and do in a day that it's impossible to do it all without being completely tuckered out. Pick and choose to get the most out of the day for the best experience.Written on Jul 19 2009

more frequently. Distances are far for little kids and elderly people.

I always love the Bronx Zoo, but to be able to pay half price for the total experience, in this economic environment, makes it even more enjoyable when you know you didn't have to spend as much.Written on Jul 06 2009

We loved the zoo & had a great time. We became members at the end of the day so it was a great opportunity to see all that we could. We brought our own food, which helps having a diabetic child, because he can't always eat items provided.Written on Jul 07 2009

Description
The Bronx Zoo opened its gates to the public on November 8, 1899, joining the ranks of New York City's most beloved cultural institutions.
Among the new babies at the Bronx Zoo this spring/summer are three adorable lion cubs. This is the second pride at the Bronx Zoo in a year. The two females and one male are very active and curious, and love playing with dad M'wasi's tail and mane!
Current Featured Exhibits:
African Plains
Trek past lions, storks, and zebras on a typical African savanna. Herds of gazelles share their home with nyalas and African wild dogs and giraffes eye each other across a plain. It's as close to the Serengeti as you can get in the Bronx!
Congo Gorilla Forest
Go nose-to-nose with gorillas in a 6.5-acre swath of the rainforest that will transport you to the heart of Africa. Your Congo wildlife safari will be packed with surprises as you trek beneath the canopy of leaves, through sprays of mist, and up to treetop lookouts.
JungleWorld
Transport yourself to the tropics! Inside our Asian jungle, the warm air is just right for otters, gibbons, and a tapir, among nearly 800 other critters that live in mangroves and beaches, sharing their homes just as they would in the wild.
Madagascar!
Leaping lemurs! Hissing cockroaches! Cave-dwelling crocs! Meet one-of-a-kind wildlife from the world's fourth largest island. Towering baobobs and octopus trees, forested deserts, and other enchanting habitats will transport you there.
Tiger Mountain
Go nose-to-nose with Siberian tigers on a woodland that recreates the Russian Far East. In this showcase of the Zoo's animal enrichment program, discover how training, toys, and foraging games help the big cats stay fit and stimulated.
