NYC Safari

Believe it or not you can go on a safari in NYC.  While it won't nearly be the same as a safari to Africa you can see plenty of animals from all over the world...


Bronx Zoo
Conducting a Safari in a zoo seems a little like cheating, but think of getting to the Bronx Zoo from your hotel as part of the adventure.  The Bronx Zoo is one of the top zoo's in the world and is worth a visit if you have time.  Also, on Wednesday's the zoo is pay what you wish.

Central Park Zoo
If you don't have enough time to head to the Bronx Zoo but have a desire to see some captive animals head to the Central Park Zoo. Map

Turtle Pond
Located near Belvedere Castle and the Great Lawn, Turtle Pond is named after its many turtle inhabitants.  It's a nice stop on your safari or just an ordinary trip to Central Park.  Plus, you can actually see turtles when you go there.  Map


 

Wall Street Bull
While this bull is not real, it's really famous.  Located in lower Manhattan the statue called "Charging Bull" represents bull markets and capitalism.  Map

Big Giant Rat
I'm not referring to the rats you'll find in the subway, but rather a technique labor union's use to embarrass corporations when negotiations go south.  This is a rare find on your safari, in fact, there are few pictures out there.  However, you'll know it when you see it - it is a giant inflatable rat, often surrounded by picketing workers.
