I was 58k steps into a 100k steps day when I arrived at the hallowed ground that is the Bronx Zoo…read more You really need to move as much as possible on the 100k step days, so zoos are the ultimate hack to keep moving while taking your mind off the throbbing of your legs. An old coworker of mine used to RAVE about the Bronx zoo, and he was not lyin. We saw everything, including but not limited to giraffes, rhinos, gorillas, camels, tigers, sea lions, aardvarks, lions, a peacock, etc. All those were rad, but seeing an Okapi truly altered my brain chemistry. I didn't even know an Okapi existed, and am still not fully convinced they do. It was a half zebra, half giraffe, and half horse hybrid. One cannot help but make the comparison to ManBearPig. It really got me wondering. If I didn't even know Zebraffehorse existed, what else don't I know about the world? Sometimes we get stuck in routines and being trapped in this bubble inflates our egos to the point where we think we understand everything. Seeing this Okapi humbled me and reminded me that all I know is that I know nothing. Get over to the Bronx Zoo, it's good for the soul. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

Bronx Zoo is honestly top tier. When my family and I took a trip to New York, one of the places we…read moreknew we had to take the kids to was the Bronx Zoo. I am not even the biggest zoo person, but I honestly feel like this place should be the standard for all of them. First off, it is so spacious. There is a ton of greenery, and it genuinely seemed like the animals were well cared for and in habitats that felt natural to them. They also have an incredible variety of animals. Maybe I was just being naive because it is in New York, but I was so surprised by how many different animals we were able to take our children to see. As a huge bonus, they had an exhibit with a Daniel the Tiger partnership or collaboration, which was so cute. There are plenty of food spots around and they looked pretty good, though we ended up not grabbing anything to eat so I cannot speak to how it actually tasted. What I did notice, though, was that there were no crazy long lines, and the park overall was extremely clean. I kept seeing workers walking by actively cleaning up the space. You are definitely going to get your steps in. It was pretty hot the day we went and I was tired by the end of it, but they actually have strollers and even double strollers available to rent. As a mom of two, I really appreciate that they actually think of us. I honestly wish we had known that beforehand. Overall, this was a really great experience. I would love to go back again, maybe on a day when it is not quite so hot, but I can totally see why this is considered one of the best zoos in the country.

The prices were decent and the fishes seem well kept; however, the shop owner popped a cigarette…read moreand started smoking. Mind you this is a shop that's underground and indoor, which amplified the smell and kept it there. Overall it was a pretty subpar experience - I don't think I'll be coming back here.

The only thing it's far from but good in a way because I would be there always.

DO NOT PURCHASE FISH HERE!…read more As an aquarium enthusiast, I went there to see if they had any different kinds of fish. Granted they have beautiful coral and saltwater plants, HOWEVER. I walked past tanks that had dead fish and dying fish and the live fish in the tanks were eating the dead fish. It was awful and I think that they should be called out for this. If they want to sell fish for the prices that they're charging, they better have clean tanks and at least have healthy fish. This place was disgusting..

Thank you so much Jerry
