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.
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.
