This isn't just a zoo. It's really a huge park that happens to have a zoo in it. This is a whole day excursion, so plan to be there from open to close. You still probably won't see it all due to its size. It's hard to pick out highlights, because there's so many great attractions (and super cute animals) to see. Don't miss the sea lions. Right now they have a few pups who are still nursing and learning to swim. The monorail is a fun experience, and I like that they have it set up so every seat is a good seat. At the end of the monorail ride you'll probably get to see their adorable red panda named Linus taking a nap in a tree. Wear good walking shoes and make sure you're hydrated, but even if you get a little tired there's always the shuttle to transport you to any corner of the zoo. Also I would suggest getting the 'total experience' tickets, since otherwise you will end up paying a lot extra on many of the attractions (things the monorail, gorilla exhibit , children's zoo and others will cost additional fees). This is a great zoo and totally worth a visit if you love animals.

The majestically thunderous herds of the American Buffalo's (Tatanka) may no longer exist in world. And obviously future generations will, most probably, only see a very small glimpse of the wilderness that once was. To receive a fuller experience of the appreciation of the natural life of only about 150 years ago. I would highly recommend seeing Kevin Costner's masterpiece "Dances with Wolves".

Beautiful Bison. Multiple viewing spots. A family favorite when you are entering and leaving through the Bronx Zoo through the Bronx River Gate. Not far from Astor Court so if you are visiting the sea lions don't miss the opportunity to take a short walk to see the Bison and learn a little about these amazing animals that are colloquially called buffalo in American history.

The bison exhibit is tough for visitors. When I visited the bison were far away in the grass so that I couldn't easily see them. It was a bit of a chilly and damp day, so they were keeping to themselves. It wasn't interesting.

This zoo is the worst thing ever, when we went there, almost half of the animals were absent, including the bison. Why they dont advice us about that in the entrance
