Bronx Zoo


One of the benefits of working for a large financial services company is that they offer great perks to their employees; the other weekend was a corporate appreciation weekend at the Bronx Zoo, and we all got in for free. 


We decided to upgrade our tickets to the “full experience” and were able to take a tram around the Asia section of the park. We saw deer, wild horses, buffalos, tigers, elephants, and rhinos. 













We also saw a beautiful peacock, who had gotten out of his area and was just wandering around the zoo. Alex got a little too close to him for my liking. 



The grounds are so beautiful, especially this time of year. 


The seals are always a favorite attraction, as they are so lively. Alex loved watching them jump. 



The Monkey House was, unfortunately closed. Maybe next time. 

Gorgeous details. 




No stop to the Bronx Zoo is complete without a ride on the bug carousel. 



After our picnic lunch (we brought our own food), we watched the turtles and then saw the bears. 




It was a lovely afternoon (and only a subway ride away).
