The Bronx zoo is filled with animals from all over the world and will fascinate not only kids but adults too. The animal enclosures are spacious and mimic their natural habitat, which allows one to observe the majestic animals in an as realistic setting as possible while in confinement.
If you want a change from the urban jungle that is New York City, the zoo is a great place for a stroll in nature. It is accessible by public transport, and would be an ideal day trip for both city residents and out of towners.
Pro-tip: entrance to the zoo is free on most Wednesdays. Free tickets need to be booked in advance on the zoos website.
