The Bronx Zoo houses an amazing collection of fauna from the world over which include animals from the wilds of the African savanna, the Congo basin, the Asian jungle, Siberian mountains and Himalayan highlands including birds and reptiles of all varieties and species.
The kids section provides an amazing hands on learning experience as kids can try out animal homes, trade hands and feet for paws and claws or touch velvety noses and furry ears.
More than being just a zoo, the Bronx Zoo serves as a platform for teaching children as well as adults about wildlife and wildlife habitats through fun filled and engaging, interactive programs. Guided tours, overnight excursions and summer programs are some of the added attractions of this zoo.
