About the Business
The African Lions at Bronx Zoo is a must-visit institution in New York, United States. This zoo offers a unique experience where you can see animals outside from March 31 to November 3. The giraffes at the zoo start their mornings by receiving leaves and twigs as part of their diet. The African Plains exhibit brings together animals based on geography, creating a naturalistic setting for visitors to enjoy.
One of the highlights of the Bronx Zoo is the nyala calves that have been born there since 1941. These beautiful creatures grow into majestic adults with charcoal coats, black fringe, and curved horns. The giraffes at the zoo are the tallest animals in the world and have an 18-inch-long tongue to grasp branches and leaves.
The African Plains exhibit also showcases lions and African painted dogs, giving visitors a glimpse into the grasslands of East Africa. These animals are highly social and work together while hunting for prey. To make the most of your visit, you can access real-time information and an interactive map on bronxzoo.com/today.

Reviews
"I recently visited Athens, Greece. Walking around its ancient Agora—the marketplace where philosophers taught and Athenians worshiped—I found altars to Apollo and Zeus, all in the shadow of the Acropolis, where a statue of the goddess Athena once stood. We may not bow to Apollo or Zeus today, but society is no less religious. “Everybody worships,” novelist David Foster Wallace said, adding this warning: “If you worship money and things . . . then you will never have enough. . . . Worship your body and beauty. . . and you will always feel ugly. . . . Worship your intellect . . . [and] you will end up feeling stupid.” Our secular age has its own gods, and they’re not benign. “People of Athens!” Paul said while visiting the Agora, “I see that in every way you are very religious” (Acts 17:22). The apostle then described the one true God as the Creator of all (vv. 24–26) who wants to be known (v. 27) and who has revealed Himself through the resurrection of Jesus (v. 31). Unlike Apollo and Zeus, this God isn’t made by human hands. Unlike money, looks, or intelligence, worshiping Him won’t ruin us. Our “god” is whatever we rely on to give us purpose and security. Thankfully, when every earthly god fails us, the one true God is ready to be found (v. 27).We often use Paul’s interaction with the people in Athens as a model for evangelism: know your audience and tailor your message to them. The apostle observed the religious behavior of the Athenians and demonstrated his knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures and the life and work of Jesus. But we also see that Paul’s speech was a refutation of the Athenian approach to religion. In a place where they had many idols to which they offered sacrifices of food and drink, the apostle asserts that there’s only one God, and He doesn’t live in temples and doesn’t need to be served by humans."
"We had great time, got the best view of Lion. we would definitely visit again."
"So much!! My little guy is 1 and he enjoyed it saying the animals and their sounds. He loved the train! Great for all ages."
"So cool the entire zoo is large and you can easily spend a day or two trying to see it all. What a wonderful time."
"Zoo requires timed tickets for entry and masking. There are disinfectant stations available at major exhibits and pathways. The snack shops have outdoor seating."
