If you want to take photos without traveling long distances, or just want a great time, the Bronx Zoo is the best place to go. I went with my family and some of my extended family, and we had an amazing time. My three year old cousin loved going through the whole zoo and pointing out all of the animals she recognized. If you like, like me, enjoy photography, I'd recommend you stay away from the big open exhibits, but instead go for reptiles or birds, or really anything in a smaller enclosure. If you are just aiming to have a good time, my personal favorite part of the zoo is the wild Asia Monorail. On my most recent trip, I unfortunately didn't get to go on the Monorail, but it's definitely worth it. As you can see, I took a bunch of pictures, some better than others, and I had an all together great day. 10/10 would definitely go again.
