“Nature Trek at the Bronx Zoo is a unique add-on experience that’s worth trying, especially if you’re visiting with kids. It combines wobbly suspension bridges and maze-like pathways, giving children the chance to explore and play in a safe but exciting environment. It does come at an extra cost beyond the general admission, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Still, it adds a nice break from the usual exhibits and gives the little ones a memorable adventure within the zoo.”

“It was the worst experience. The guy who works there checking the sway bridges made my friend and me get off. He said we were running, but what happened was we went back to wait for an elderly woman to cross because she wasn't feeling well. The bridge was swaying a lot, and we were waiting to cross when the man told us to get off. Then a lot of young people were running, and he didn't say anything to them. That's not right because we pay to get in there; we weren't there for free. The guy who made us get off was Hispanic. Another man said he was new; being new, he has to treat people well because his salary comes from what we pay to get in.”
