A Day in The Bronx Zoo

Enjoyed this post? Give it some love and share!

We have visited the Bronx Zoo many times and enjoy it because of how easy it is to spend the entire day there, as well as because of all the things to see and do.

This time of the year, especially around noon, is a wonderful time to visit as the animals have had their off springs, and these have grown enough to be fun to watch.

Another reason we love the zoo so much is because if its work in research and conservancy, not only with the zoo, but worldwide, through the Wildlife Conservation Society.

From their website:

From its earliest days, the Wildlife Conservation Society has been a leader in animal wellbeing. The flagship Bronx Zoo established its first veterinary department in 1901. At the time, the department consisted only of a pathologist and a veterinarian. Today, the Wildlife Health Sciences division includes departments of clinical care, pathology, nutrition, and field veterinary programs. The Wildlife Health Center, located on Bronx Zoo grounds, serves more than 15,000 animals from the four WCS zoos in New York.

Walking through the various exhibits in the zoo we were exposed to information about how the well-being of each animal seen is affected from different issues, such as environmental changes or hunting. Visitors are also informed about what the WCS is doing as well as how we can get involved.

Visiting the zoo isn’t simply an excursion to see animals from the wild, but also a way to learn about them beyond the divider that separates us and a way to feel inspired to help protect them.

Summer Events at The Bronx Zoo 2012

I encourage you to check out the events happening this summer at the zoo, but also to spend the day seeing, touching and learning all you can at the zoo. Our family has enjoyed the perks of membership for years, it is in my opinion the best way to experience the zoo for the savings as well as the way in which it helps fund the zoo.

A whole #travelTuesday went by before I shared a p A whole #travelTuesday went by before I shared a photo, and in the end, it is a photo of a place I call home. Here’s a scene from a fall day at @theflxcottage in @flxwinecountry. During a time when there was so much to grieve and nowhere to really go, we found, and find, happiness and peace here. It truly is magical this way.

Of all the promises travel offers, what is true is that whatever bliss, peace, and joy you may be looking for will start from within, and until then, travel serves only as temporary escapism, never truly grounded reality. 

Travel is privileged joy. But when your home is joy too, then you know you’ve really found a gift that will carry you no matter where you go. Or don’t. Because where you are is enough. And that is everything.

Sometimes you just need to take a long, long walk. Sometimes you just need to take a long, long walk.
Some times, more than others, you need to hold on Some times, more than others, you need to hold on to moments of joy tighter than ever.

For me, this week, it has been found during long drives through country roads and wintery scenes in wine country. Or with a good movie or TV show (Sylvie’s Love was my latest, along with Netflix’s special “Pretend It’s A City” with Fran Lebowitz). Or with loving conversations with dear friends.

The point is, as a society, there is much to do, but our heart and mind and soul are sacred. Care for them. Love them. Feed them joy, however and wherever you may find it. We may live to fight another day...but we don’t have to live to fight every day.♥️
