Bronx Zoo is probably one of the best zoos I've ever been to, and certainly the largest. I have to warn you that, if it's your first visit, plan a good six hours to see the entire collection. There's a huge collection of different animals, in both outdoor and indoor enclosures, in a variety of different enclosures, for some of which you have to pay extra, which is why it's extremely recommendable that you get a total experience ticket, which covers all of the exhibits. A negative I must point out, however, is that the only food I saw available was junk food and cheap catering, and the only water that gets sold is Dasani, which is infamous for containing sodium and actually makes one thirstier. Not a good idea, guys. However, this zoo is incredibly important for conservation, and their work for the environment is invaluable.
The must see enclosures are, in my opinions, are:
- The Congo Gorilla Forest: An indoor-outdoor exhibit, whose star animals are okapis, mandrills and, of course, gorillas.
- Wild Asia Monorail: A complex of large, outdoor pens, which you can see from a monorail train. This area is populated by a variety of large Asian mammals, including Indian rhinos, Siberian tigers and Asian elephants.
- Madagascar: An indoor tropical enclosure which houses a variety of unique animals from Madagascar, like lemurs, fossas and crocodiles.
- Aquatic bird house; An indoor enclosure which includes a large variety of waterbirds and some other interesting aves, including little blue penguins, scarlet ibises, and even kiwis!
