$5 Horse-Drawn Carraige Rides at the Bronx Zoo

Weekends, Nov 7–Dec 27

The Bronx Zoo’s beloved Clydesdale horses Ranger, Jesse, and Monty have once again trotted into the spotlight to take guests on festive wagon rides, Saturdays & Sundays beginning November 7. The Clydesdale—a high-stepping draft horse—is in its element when at work, whether in the field or at the head of a cart. At the zoo, they enjoy long walks with their keepers, being brushed, and the occasional sweet treat.

Clydesdale carriage rides operate from 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Tickets cost $5 per person for ages 3 and over, and can be purchased at the Children’s Zoo ticket window. Rides pick up on Astor Court.

Sponsor a Box of Love!

The holidays are here and many of us are planning get-togethers, dinners, and other events. We’re picking out festive place mats, hanging wreathes, and marking our calendars with lots of things to do and places to see. We sometimes forget that there are people out there who are not as lucky as us, and have no means of making a nice Thanksgiving dinner happen for their family. Want to know an awesome way you can help? Here’s Life Inner City New York is asking families to dine in one night rather than going out to eat, and with the money saved sponsor a Box of Love, which will feed a family of six on Thanksgiving!
