Why you should buy your ticket on Lenny.

Highlights

Spending a day at the Bronx Zoo will give you the opportunity to admire an extraordinary variety of animals, from the majestic zebras and lions of the African savannahs to the majestic birds of prey such as eagles and owls in their dedicated area.

The park offers a wide selection of experiences designed for visitors of all ages. Enter the evocative Butterfly Garden , where splendid multicolored butterflies fly freely in a peaceful and enchanted atmosphere.

Little ones can enjoy a unique experience at the Children's Zoo , where they can get up close to prairie dogs , North American porcupines, fennec foxes, and cuddle farm animals . Continue the adventure inside JungleWorld , a lush indoor rainforest inhabited by exotic animals from far away lands.

To visit the Bronx Zoo in complete comfort, take advantage of the Zoo Shuttle , the internal train that allows you to hop on and off at various stops along the route, to explore every section of the park. Don't miss the Bug Carousel , an original carousel with creatures inspired by the world of insects, perfect for the little ones (and not only!).

If you’re looking for a more immersive nature experience, venture out on the Nature Trek : a route along elevated paths, boardwalks and observation points to admire local wildlife in their natural habitats.
