Bronx Zoo
Things to Do
-
Star Attraction
Bug Carousel
Our favorite insects are all here — a long-legged praying mantis, a bright green grasshopper, even a dung beetle. A spin on the carousel is a great stop in the middle of the park.

Star Attraction
Nature Trek
Get a bird’s eye view of the park! Navigate across bridges and over balancing beams. Weave between obstacles for a safe and challenging adventure. Note: this experience is for children ages 3 & up.
-
Penguin Feedings
When it’s time to eat, our Magellanic penguins come out of their dens or up from the deep and bob for fish. If we think of a question, there’s always a friendly zookeeper nearby to answer it.
-
Quests
Quest Stations are back this summer! Are you up for the challenge? Interactive activities connect you to wildlife and ways to save animals in the wild.
-
Sea Lion Feedings
Sea lions are curious and intelligent. Our training/feeding sessions help stimulate them. In the fall, the animals may eat more than usual. They’re building up insulation for the cold weather.
-
Treetop Adventure
Plan your next adventure at our aerial ropes course. Climb up in the trees or zipline over a river, it's a great addition to your day.
-

Star Attraction
Zoo Shuttle
Seasonal. The Bronx Zoo spans 265 acres. We find the Zoo Shuttle helps maximize the day. Our trolley takes visitors from Wild Asia at one end of the park to Zoo Center at the other, with a stop by Tiger Mountain in between.
