Astor Court and Sea Lion Pool
At the heart of the park, bark hello to the sea lions, tour Zoo Center, and take a trip back in time to the Zoo’s earliest days. Built at the turn of the 20th century, Astor Court’s Beaux-Arts buildings are New York City landmarks.
African Plains
Trek past lions, storks, and zebras on a typical African savanna. Herds of gazelles share their home with nyalas and African wild dogs and giraffes eye each other across a plain. It’s as close to the Serengeti as you can get in the Bronx!
Butterfly Garden
Experience the wonder of butterflies and other backyard bugs in a lush wild meadow and spacious greenhouse. Inside the conservatory, classical music creates a soothing backdrop as you amble among monarchs, julias, and other winged beauties.
Children's Zoo
Climb into a bird’s nest, hop like a wallaby, and feed a goat! There’s plenty for little fingers and big eyes to touch and see in this cozy, three-acre setting. Experience firsthand various types of animal habitats, locomotion, senses, and defenses.
Madagascar!
Leaping lemurs! Hissing cockroaches! Cave-dwelling crocs! Meet one-of-a-kind wildlife from the world’s fourth largest island. Towering baobobs and octopus trees, forested deserts, and other enchanting habitats will transport you there.
