I have lived in NYC all my life and I can remember taking many trips to the zoo. We would walk forever and enjoy all that it has to offer. Now, I am taking my girls to the zoo since it is just minutes away. I love going to the zoo during all the seasons. There are so many different kinds of experiences and fun things to discover.
New York City is home to some amazing sights and activities.
It really is all happening at the zoo.
One of the best is the Bronx Zoo, which provides an educational and fun-filled experience for people of all ages.
This summer, the Bronx Zoo will turn NYC into a city-wide social photo safari by inviting consumers to learn about “120 Ways #NYisWild.” The more people share their in-park photos using the #NYisWild hashtag, the more chances they have to win a trip to Belize, one of the locations where the Wildlife Conservation Society—owner and operator of the Bronx Zoo – does some exciting and relevant conservation work.
The “120” part of this acknowledges and celebrates 120 years of conservation since the founding of this organization, and 100 of the 120 ways take place in WCS parks: Bronx Zoo, the New York Aquarium, Central Park Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo & Queens Zoo.
Here’s what you need to know about #NYisWild:
- To celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), a city-wide campaign called #NYisWild is turning our concrete jungle into a summer-long photo safari
- New Yorkers can participate by choosing from 120 “wild” attractions around the city and capturing a photo of each for a chance to win irresistible prizes
- There are several prize levels available, including a special Grand Prize. Entry to win these prizes increases for hitting certain milestones (ex: Escape for 2 to Belize for completing 10/120 or Whale Watching Tour for 4 With WCS Scientists for completing 50/120).
- From April to August participants can capture each attraction using Instagram or Twitter with #NYisWild and also hashtagging the number of the clue (ex: #NYisWild, #84)
- Keep track of all progress on NYisWild.com by logging in via an Instagram or Twitter account
- Download the full list of all 120 attractions and have fun exploring! Direct download link here:http://bit.ly/NYisWildOnePager

We love the giraffes!
Being born and raised in the Bronx, of course I’ve been to the zoo numerous times. My children’s favorite section would have to be the children’s zoo. I can’t wait to see the renovations they’ve done!
We havent been to the Bronx zoo in years! I would love to revisit it again
My 3 year old loves the zoo!
We love the monorail there!
Never been
Love the new baby gorillas. They were just featured on the morning news. I understand their debut was superb.
Don’t forget about the sea lions on a super hot day!!
Haven’t been to the zoo in a long time but our family always goes to see the seals. We love them
Haven’t been in a few years and would love to take my daughter soon! Thanks!
What a great giveaway! Can I just admit that I have never been to the Bronx Zoo? I dont know why. It is on our list to go every year and we just never wind up doing it. Maybe this will be the year and the reason I venture over there? Fingers crossed!
Our family has been to the zoo. We enjoy the entire zoo – it is really beautiful.
Love the zoo. Haven’t been there in a while.
We have been at least 5x. My sister in law even got married there!
My fave part is the congo!
We have never been to the Bronx zoo, but we have been talking about taking my daughter there.
I have been to The Bronx Zoo more times than I can count. I used to work there in high school. My favorite part of the zoo is the Butterfly Garden when it first opened up.
The last time I went was 30 yrs ago, so I don’t remember much. Would love to take my kids
I have not been to the Bronx zoo but was just telling someone the other day that I want to take my kids there.
my grandfather used to work there, so we have some amazing memories. My favorite trips were to Members nights where you had all ice cream sandwiches and lemonade you could consume. No, that had nothing to do with animals…
I have been to the Bronx Zoo. I love the birds.
