The Bronx Zoo is about as good as zoos get. You won t run out of things to do to keep occupied here with the large size of the zoo and the sheer number of animals and exhibits. Without the add-ons, you ll still find plenty to do, but the monorail and jungle exhibits are worth the extra cost. Check online especially during the late fall what exhibits and animals aren t around as the Gorilla exhibit in October only had one ape around. The animals here are quite active though so you ll see more of interest than the typical hiding or sleeping animals. It s a great place to spend a day with kids or families. Wear comfortable walking shoes as there is a lot of ground to cover. Food and drink are quite pricey inside so bring snacks.
