A Season for Animals
Fall is fantastic at the Bronx Zoo. With seasonal attractions such as Wild Asia Monorail, Congo Gorilla Forest, and Children’s Zoo open through November 1, it’s a great time to visit tigers, rhinos, giraffes, lions, and many more amazing species - including newcomers like the baby lemurs in Madagascar!, and the nocturnal creatures in our newest exhibit, World of Darkness.
