Luis Rodriguez

So much fun!

Samantha Schaeffer

Animals are always bustling about... worth the visit!

ღĞrapęღ !

It was CUTE

Jean Presume

For the first time all the gorillas were performing for the visitors. It was a gray experience between catching food, posing and chilling in front of the glass window.

matthew bozek

Beautiful zoo cold when i went there late October but still fun and amazing. Definitely recommend...

Elie Klein

Amazing experience! Having this magnificent creatures so close to you is unbelievable.

Doris Garner

I enjoyed their film on the gorillas eye surgery it was interesting and seeing the gorillas in action was fun

Stacy Kroptavich

Went on my daughter's field trip and loved this part of the zoo. It was amazing to see the gorillas and very clear they are well taken care of. If visiting the Bronx zoo, I definitely recommend!

Taina Santana

amazing time with the family

Probably THE nicest gorilla exhibit in the entire country! I have been to over 70 Zoo & Aquariums over the last 11 yrs and this exhibit is the best gorilla one anywhere!

E Rene

Green and beautiful

Terry Venables

Kerri Schwartz

Great fun with animals!❤️

John Ludewig

Good to see the Gorillas well cared for.

Jeanette Falker-Gonzalez

Perfect to visit the Bronx zoo. Gorillas in their winter quarters.

Peter Harman II

Horrifically depressing. No zoo staff to tell zoo visitors to not bang on the enclosure. Terribly ignorant tourists used flash photography continuously as the animals obviously were in distress. What used to be a great vehicle to earn funds towards wild life preservation, has become a for-profit machine of cutting staff, and budget monitoring. I detest this zoo now, and foresee it's downfall in the near future.

Sallie Thompson

Happy staff and pleasant environment

Brenda Parry

What is there left to say about this amazing area in the Bronx Zoo? Quite possibly the best gorilla exhibit in any zoo, the Congo also has other animals, such as the Okapi, Mandrill vand Red River hog. But the real stars are the western lowland gorillas. Two troops of these fascinating creatures call this home. Ranging from the two silverbacks, Ernie and Ntondo, to the small, but energetic juveniles. A must see.

Kathy Lennon

Had a great time.

Genise Guerrero

I am just fascinated by the gorillas and how they interact with each other

JOHN MENDIOLA

A must see at the Bronx Zoo. Worth the upgrade if you're not a member!

Marcelo Castillo

Great when you can see them.

Niv Pai

Amazing!!!! Must visit

John Steele

If you go to the Bronx zoo this is a must see in my opinion. The exhibit was great. The Gorillas had a huge area to roam and interact. The zoo and the WCS are doing great work at keeping the Gorillas from extinction. In a perfect world we would not need facilities like this but the reality is that these are not only needed but critically needed to prevent extinction of the gorillas and is instrumental in protecting the gorillas habitat through education and alerting people of the issues.

Lynne McVey

A wonderful opportunity to closely observe truly wonderful animals....actually a privilege.

Sam Miller

Even though animals have a mind of their own, the gorillas were active and lively. They were a joy to watch

Tiffany B

Excellent experience!

Alby Monegro

Great time

Robert Decca

Great place you are so close to the gorillas plus lots of babies.

Brenda Karika

Nice movie segment about discovering glaucoma in the eye of one and treating the eye. Didn't see many until you rounded a corner and found a family of five. They seem to like kale!

christina stokes

Amazing zoo

Teresa

Love this zoo and the gorillas

Saadia Melendez

I love it my 15 month old knows so many animals and animal sounds I wanted to expose her to the animals in real life as well...PRICELESS

Justin Smith

The bronx zoo was great for me and the family if you plan for a whole day to spend there you still may not be able to see it all the exhibits are very realistic each area like you've been transported to that area of the globe and you get to explore every detail as though your really there Wednesday is the best day to go for a family as park admission is free highly recommend paying the 6.00/ person for the special exhibits though we did and it was awesome can't say enough very well laid out and the attention to detail is outstanding great family fun

shakira salaj

Beautiful I love this exhibit. The gorillas are amazing and funny, I wish humans were more peaceful when visiting this exhibit. Everyone can be on their phones and banging on the wall and using flash in their faces just not something I like to see. It’s my favorite place and if you are at the zoo give Yourself A good amount of time to really enjoy it.

Yuriy Fizer

Great experience for kids and the whole family. Gorillas are behaving in a very funny way which is especially entertaining for kids.

Fabulous gorilla exhibit and habitat! The educational aspect as to the danger to the species due to poaching is great, but needs to be more prominent (in my opinion!)

All the gorillas are impossible to see because of cold weather

ec s

Beautiful habitat. Love the gorillas

Maria Correa

Loved watching these gorillas....wish they could roam free....

Patricia Maiello

My son really enjoyed sering the gorillas. It looks like they have a decent amount of space to move around in. More importantly, I love that they educate you about how they are in endangered and how you can help.

Kim Paolucci

Visited the Bronx Zoo. Loved it. Great afternoon outing. We took about 3.5hrs to see about 3/4 of the park (didnt go to the birds and mouse sections or else it would probably be 4-5hrs long). We were more interested in the larger animals. Lots to walk and see. Great experience. You should buy the total experience tickets (only $17 more) because that allows you to see all areas the park (baboons, gorillas, jungle world and children activities). Make sure to ride the monorail in Asia world, it was a cool experience and you get to see more animals.

Stacy Malibu

I really love gorillas, but it would be much better if it was possible to watch the gorillas around, because now only one side is open for watching and when they went to the other side of the cliff we waited for them for half an hour

Gloria Arroyo

The kids love it they show off for the kids

Sima Indig

Doesnt look real.its gorgeous.

Natasha persaud

Jayne Real

Omg. What an amazing experience. Next time I will spend the entire day here. Lol

Keerthi Priya Arani

Always a great day at the zoo! This is by far the best zoo around. It's always clean & the staff are always smiling, friendly & helpful! There is so much to see & do, it has something for everyone! The animals look well cared for as well. On another note, they have your standard American fast food options at their cafe but the food is delicious, though a little pricey.

Derek Villorente

Nice clear view of the gorills. Actually looks like a forest inside and outside the area.

Aimah Med

A place to be with your kids
