Bird watching area
👍👍 This part of the Bronx Zoo is one of my favorites. All the signage and zoo keepers that are around can help you and inform you about the specific animals in that enclosure. All the beautiful birds are amazing to go and see. Currently the Zoo is closed because of Covid-19.

119 Aquarium
Store
👍👍 119 Aquarium is the best source for all your freshwater fish and invertebrate species. They have been a pillar of Chinatown for over 30 years. Support your local fish store! Support 119 Aquarium! Ask about their specialty tea imports as well.
