Bronx
Zoo

The
pythons slither around a lush indoor tropical rain forest;
the ponds brim with crocodiles. The elusive snow

Highlands," and more than 30 species of rodentia
coexist in the Mouse House. Birds, Giraffes, lions and
reptiles abound; the zoo is home to more than 6,000
creatures. Although it covers 265 acres, it's not too
hard on the fee; there's a choice of monorail or tram.
The newest attraction is the Congo Gorilla Forest.
Experience the Bronx Zoo and all its amazing creatures.
