What is Bronx Zoo?

The Bronx Zoo is a zoo within Bronx Park in the Bronx, New York City.

The zoo has 2.1 million average yearly visitors as of 2009. The zoo's original buildings, known as Astor Court, were designed as a series of Beaux-Arts pavilions grouped around the large circular sea lion pool.
