When in New York City a visit to this institution is highly recommended. The Bronx zoo brings you close to wild animals, including, lions, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, snakes, spiders, venomous or not, The zoo is comprised of various areas that separate the animals from each other, but it brings them together in their own habitat,thr are Eagles, Condors, vultures, owls and many other feathered friends. Once inside the zoo you could go on the monorail,to tour Africa, or even see the animals that once roomed our Earth the Dinosaurs. You can see the famous TRex and the other animals that lived millions of years before us. You have the choise of several eateries so you can enjoy the food the the zoo offers to customers. You can also enjoy a ride in a camel, The Bronz zoo is the largest zoo in the world, once here it makes you forget that you are old, it brings the child in you. I recommend this very highly.
