New York- Bronx Zoo-Different View of the Zoo

NYC-Bronx Zoo

Been to zoo so many time, I've never got the chances to visit the Asia area. We decided to make a different route to visit this area in the Bronx Zoo this past weekend.

It turned out to be a quite different experience. We took the mono-rail and visit those animals in more natural habitats. Those Mongolian wild horses look exactly the same as the one in those countless Chinese painting. Elephants are more active. Rhinos are playing with mud happily. Even this red panda looks more relaxed than the one in the other area of the same zoo.

Kids were excited about the experience. Different from the previous one we'e done, we are the ones who need to be confined in the cart instead. We need to open our eyes to search and to feel those animals in the nature. I have a dream to bring kids to a real safari one day. I hope I can see more animals have better life quality (including human) in the natural habitats ..

Almost forget why I love NYC until I came back to MoMA many years after. You feel like modern history is playing just right in front of your eyes. You feel the creativity, you feel the sense of timelessness, you feel the art. It is not the classic history, it is now, what is happening now? Many years ago, it was MoMA that make me fall deeply in love with water lily. I hope I can express this kind of human passion to my kids as well..

One will wonder if the giant artists left their masterpiece in this beautiful place?

This park is the jewel of the Hudson. 500 and more different masterpiece in the natural habitat make the perfect play ground for whoever has young hearts.

What is the best way to teach kids about science? Give them chances to touch and feel the science.

New York Hall of Science is one of the best science museums which allow kids to experience all the experiments through touch and feel. Museum also spends great efforts to keep all the equipments in good shape. Staffs are very atheistic and keep kids interested in science. It surely provides great science experiences for kids.

After a wonder summer hike in the Storm King Sculpture Park, we would like to have some easy food for dinner. There is a nice cafe named Wood's Cafe in the park but it was closed around 5:00 PM. Thanks for Yelp's help, we would able to find this place. The burgers met exactly what we've expected. What surprised us are fried red onions hay and sweet potato fries. Staff are ultra friendly, they make you feel at home.. Lovely place.
