Hello!  We are going to the Bronx Zoo tomorrow.  Please list five tips that will help me plan a successful trip!
Hello user! Here are some tips for planning a trip to the Bronx Zoo:

1. Make room for "extras" 
Be sure to see the Congo Gorilla Forest and Tiger Mountain. Nature Trek is wonderful for younger kids, while older kids and teens (and adults) will love Treetop Adventure.  

2. Know what's open
Some exhibits are only open during warmer temperatures. For example, Butterfly Garden, the Children's Zoo, Wild Asia Monorail, and Zoo Shuttle are seasonal exhibits. Check info on the specific exhibits you would like to see before going! 

3. Bring a picnic
Food is available for purchase, and outside food is permitted at the Bronx Zoo. The Dancing Crane Cafe has an indoor and outdoor pavilion with a view of a marsh.

4. See Rockefeller Fountain
Rockefeller Fountain was constructed in Como, Italy, in the late 1800s. William Rockefeller purchased it and gifted it to New York City. It was designated as a New York City landmark in 1968.

5. Find the best package for you
You can see a lot with a general admission ticket, including indoor exhibits like Madagascar!, the Zoo Center, and Birds of Prey. There are additional fees to ride the Wild Asia Monorail and Zoo Shuttle or visit Tiger Mountain, Congo Gorilla Forest, the Nature Trek, and Children’s Zoo. A Total Experience ticket may add up to less than these entry fees!

I hope this helps you plan your visit!
