They give you an opportunity to see what the animals do underwater. There you can touch and feed all array of farm animals. Lots of play equipment for kids including a shallow wading pool. But it seems that the zoo has done something right because the monkeys have not only survived but are thriving well with 4 babies born and all doing well since arriving in1997. Bronx Zoo has also bred this endangered primate but few if none of the young survived.
Orangs are the flagship species of the zoo.
You have your meal while an orang sits just a few feet away enjoying its own food. All this while, a keeper is on-hand to protect both guests and the animal, and to give commentary about the animal. After that you can have a kodak moment with the friendly ape. You can also have photos taken with chimps and snakes. Separate charges apply.
