Bronx Zoo’s Animal Tales Extravaganza – Fun For The Whole Family

My kidlets love animals, all different kinds and the more exotic, the better.  Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!  So it’s a good thing that we live near the world’s largest metropolitan zoo, the Bronx Zoo, which is run by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).  The Hubs and I take the kids there several times a year.  It’s a great way to spend the day, see animals and learn about animal conservation efforts both in our country and around the world.

Starting this Saturday, April 21, the Bronx Zoo kicks off its third annual Animal Tales Extravaganza that will run every weekend through Sunday, June 30.  This special spring program is packed with elephant-sized fun featuring a full schedule of live family entertainment including interactive attractions, music, performances, character meet and greets, arts & crafts, author readings and even a Rainforest Creature Parade!
