A practical roundup of the Bronx Zoo’s top animals with best viewing locations and times.

You can’t see everything. Prioritize animals that offer strong behavior windows.
| Animal | Where | Best Time | Viewing Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gorillas | Congo Gorilla Forest | Morning | Wait for eyes in light; be patient |
| Tigers | Tiger Mountain | Cool hours, enrichment | Angle off glass; watch scent paths |
| Rhinos | Wild Asia Monorail | Late morning shade | Left-side seats; scan tree lines |
| Lions | Big cat habitat | Mid-day rest, golden hour | Compose off-center; wait for expressions |
Tip: Check the day’s schedule for any keeper talks—short, valuable context bursts.
Go behavior-first: plan around animals when they move, forage, or interact.

I built this guide to make your Bronx Zoo day easy, insightful, and full of wildlife moments you’ll remember.
