It was cool, but a bit hectic. My girlfriend and I go every year (we both love animals), and we were excited to go this year. So we get in the car to boogie, but then her sister calls us just as we are about to get on the highway to head down, and says she wants to come. So we had to turn around, drive back to her house, and then wait an hour for her sister to get ready. So we didnt get to the zoo until 12:30, and since it was the Friday before Memorial Day, it was extremely busy (I guess everyone else had off), plus it was almost 100 degrees F down in the Bronx that day. But we still enjoyed ourselves, as it was fun. The greatest thing we saw is when the polar bear attempted to eat a duck that had landed in his pool. Unfortunately, since we had gotten there so late, we didnt get to see everything by 5 when the zoo closed. But it was still a fun-filled day!
