I went to the Bronx Zoo on Wednesday, September 25, 2013. It's not like I remembered it. I hadn't been there in about 25 years and my parents used to take us when were were kids and that's when only entrance was on Crotona Avenue. Anyway, the exhibits were not all that exciting. A lot of them were closed. I had hoped to see the lion exhibit, but was told on entrance that it was not open. Neither was the Gorilla House. The prices were very high and I found that I had to pay to get into certain exhibits. I had a soda, fries and a hamburger for lunch - $15.00. A lot of the exhibits were not worth the price of the admission. Call me old-fashioned, but when I was a kid and a young adult - you paid the price of admission and you could see any exhibit you wished, without having to dip into your pocketbook each time. Sorry, but I doubt I would go back. There are a lot of ways I can think of to spend my money, and it's definitely not throwing it away to view animals. The Bronx Zoo still has a lot of growing up to do.
