Over the weekend, the family returned to visit the he Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo, a place I’ve visited dozens of times over the course of my life, and enjoyed by previous generations of my family as well. This was a unique visit for three reasons:
- It was the first ever visit for my daughter Kay
- It was the first time we visited on two consecutive days
- It was the first time we visited as members!
The membership was a gift of my mother, who having moved to a new home in walking distance of the zoo is ready to visit the zoo again and again with her children and grandchildren.
Here are some of the best photos from our visit:

Introducing his lion to the lion pride
It’s easy to get to the zoo
