Komodo Dragons, Bronx Zoo
đ The Bronx, NY
The 1908 Zoo Center palace houses Komodo dragons up to nine feet long, Aldabra tortoises that live over 200 years, and southern white rhinos. Included with general zoo admission. Both indoor and warm-weather outdoor viewing available.
It's cold so most exhibits are closed. But you can still go see the indoor ones. So much fun on a random Sunday afternoon
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families prepared to spend a full day across the Bronx Zoo's extensive grounds rather than a short focused visit. The Zoo Center impresses all ages, and the Komodo dragons are a genuine highlight. Arrive early â the newer dinosaur exhibit draws waits exceeding two hours.

âThe Komodo Dragons is dope! I haven't been to a zoo in years and it was so fun to revisit as an adult. The grounds are huge and you could easily spend hours checking out all of the exhibits. Everything is well marked and there are plenty of staff members around, so it's not tough to navigate. Favorites included the sea lions, the lemur house and the great plains where you can find lions, zebras, ostriches and giraffes. I am knocking off a star because we were a bit disapointed to find out that not all exhibits were open, including the monkeys which I was really looking forward to seeing. Not many food or drink kiosks were open either. You can tell that things slow dow during a weekday visit. I do think they should mention this prior to buying tickets, or perhaps offer a discounted price for non-peak hours. Nonetheless, this is a fun and different activity and was perfect for our team outing. Our group had a great time galavanting around the zoo and I could definitely see myself returning.â
