I would highly recommend a visit to the Bronx Zoo. The collection is magnificent with many species not commonly seen in others Zoo's.
It is clear to see that conservation is at the heart of the Zoo's ideals.
The enclosures are very imaginative with great use of natural habitat theatre which is very atmospheric as well as educational. I very much like the appropriate mixing of species that may naturally occur in the wild as this enhances environmental enrichment.
Yes there is work still required with a couple of historic enclosures, but the Zoo as a whole is excellent and a great full and educational day out.
