Plan your Bronx Zoo Visit

As birds build their nests and turtles emerge from the mud, celebrate the season by planning a spring visit to the Bronx Zoo. There’s always something new to see on our 265-acre wildlife oasis. More than 4,000 animals canter, hop, and slither through award-winning exhibits that recreate wild habitats around the globe.

Be sure to swing by our daily feedings and demonstrations, check the calendar of events for special holiday celebrations and themed activities, and print out a zoo map to be sure you don’t miss any of your favorite critters along your trail!

On June 19, our former Lion House will reopen its doors as the site of our new Madagascar! exhibit. Madagascar! will transport visitors to a one-of-a-kind island nation that teems with wildlife found nowhere else on our planet. The exhibit will recreate the rainforest, limestone caves, spiny desert, and other habitats of this wondrous land of extremes.

Best Bets for Spring
Ring in spring at these zoo hotspots, which feature budding flowers, animal babies, and fun ways to stretch your legs!

• World of Reptiles
  Honor mighty leapers and masters of disguise and help us mark the Year of the Frog! Peek into the nursery window to coo at tiny turtles and cute newts.
  
  
• Children's Zoo
  Here, little explorers can try on a turtle shell, pop up in a prairie dog town, give a snack to a goat or a llama, and dash down a tree slide!
  
  
• Himalayan Highlands
  The snow leopard twins are growing up fast! Catch a glimpse of Mei Mei’s energetic youngsters as they prowl about, and tip toe up to a red panda nestled on a branch.
  
  
• Baboon Reserve
  Gaze up at the grassy slopes of the Ethiopian highlands, where two troops of gelada baboons live and play—often quite noisily!
  
  
• Tiger Mountain
  Go nose-to-nose with big cats! Stop by for one of the daily enrichment sessions to see how keepers help the tigers stay fit and challenged.
