Lions & Tigers & Bears, O My!
On Sunday we went to the Bronx Zoo, with one of my besties (and Li’s Auntie), Jenny.
The Bronx Zoo is located in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. It is the largest metropolitan zoo in the US and one of the largest in the world. It spans over 265 acres. For example, we spent 5 hours walked 12,000 steps (approximately 5 miles) and still did not see the entire zoo.
I recommend mapping out entry points, parking, shuttles and the exhibits you want to see before going for maximum efficiency.
The giraffes, zebras, lions, gorillas and the Children’s Zoo were our must have exhibits…and of course the Wild Asia Monorail for Li…(where you see the elephants and red pandas).
The Congo Gorilla Forest is one of our favs (and seems to be fan favorite in general) as these cuties love to pose and put on a show for the crowd.
The Children’s Zoo is a must stop for your little ones. They can pet and feed goats, sheep and donkeys as well as see other fun friends like turtles, flamingos, p
rairie dogs and sloths.
We had a blast and needless to say were exhausted when leaving the zoo.
