====Butterfly Garden====
[[File:Bronx Zoo - NY - USA - panoramio (30).jpg|thumb|Butterfly Garden]]
This permanent structure is an indoor [[butterfly conservatory]] which lets visitors walk through gardens and meadows and watch the butterflies up close.
<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/butterfly-garden.aspx |title=Butterfly Garden |publisher=Bronx Zoo |access-date=May 31, 2010 |archive-date=January 16, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150116032346/http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/butterfly-garden.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref> Built and inaugurated in mid-1996, the attraction is a 170-foot-long maze, where "visitors can walk through the stages of a [[Monarch butterfly|monarch]]'s [[metamorphosis]]" with a [[greenhouse]] in the middle hosting 44 species and over 1,000 butterflies; the greenhouse is really "a plastic tent on an aluminum frame".

The structure, costing $500,000, is the precursor for a future permanent House of Invertebrates in the Monkey House near the Fordham Road entrance. Many species come from the [[New York metropolitan area]], and all species of [[butterfly|butterflies]] and [[moth]]s are from around the continent.
If not successful, the [[Oklahoma City Zoo]] would have purchased it in September 1997.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/23/nyregion/exhibits-aflutter-bronx-zoo-butterfly-tent-will-allow-visitors-mingle-with.html Exhibits Aflutter At the Bronx Zoo;Butterfly Tent Will Allow Visitors To Mingle With Winged Residents] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160901031215/http://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/23/nyregion/exhibits-aflutter-bronx-zoo-butterfly-tent-will-allow-visitors-mingle-with.html |date=September 1, 2016}}, ''The New York Times''.

Before the Butterfly Garden opened, this was where the Great [[Ape]] House was located, and it was once home to [[gorilla]]s, [[chimpanzee]]s, [[orangutan]]s, and [[Gibbon|gibbons]] through the exhibit’s history.

====Children's Zoo====
The original Children's Zoo in the Bronx Zoo opened in 1941 with a [[nursery rhyme|nursery-rhyme]] theme; in 1981, a new Children's Zoo opened, and was instantly successful, seeing almost 250,000 visitors in two months.

[[File:Gorilla bronx zoo anagoria.JPG|thumb|An adult male silverback]]
In the southwestern part of the zoo, Congo Gorilla Forest is a {{cvt|6.5|acre|ha|adj=on}} rainforest that is home to the 20 or so [[western lowland gorilla]]s in the zoo. [[Angolan colobus]], [[Wolf's mona monkey|Wolf's guenon]]s, [[pygmy marmoset]]s, [[mandrill]]s, [[okapi]]s, [[red river hog]]s, an [[ornate monitor]], and an [[African rock python]] also call this area home. It also includes a bird exhibit that houses [[white-crested hornbill]]s, [[Congo peafowl]]s, and [[African pygmy goose|African pygmy geese]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/congo-gorilla-forest.aspx |title=Congo Gorilla Forest |publisher=Bronx Zoo |access-date=May 31, 2010 |archive-date=January 11, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150111091037/http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/congo-gorilla-forest.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref>

====JungleWorld====
This exhibit is an indoor tropical jungle and home to nearly 800 species<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/jungleworld.aspx |title=JungleWorld |date=May 19, 2014 |access-date=October 7, 2014 |archive-date=January 15, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150115001637/http://bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/jungleworld.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> including [[Asian small-clawed otter]]s, [[Javan lutung]]s, [[silvery lutung]]s, [[northern white-cheeked gibbon]]s, [[Matschie's tree-kangaroo]]s, [[gharial]]s, a [[carpet python]], [[northern Luzon giant cloud rat]]s, [[greater mouse deer]], [[Malayan tapir]]s, and [[lesser adjutant]]s living in mangroves and on the beaches.

A pond with a waterfall lets visitors sit and observe [[gourami]] and [[Fly River turtle]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/jungleworld.aspx |title=JungleWorld |publisher=Bronx Zoo |access-date=May 31, 2010 |archive-date=January 15, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150115001637/http://bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/jungleworld.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File:Trachypithecus cristatus at the Bronx Zoo 001.jpg|thumb|left|[[Silvery lutung]]s (''Trachypithecus cristatus''), at JungleWorld]]
Planning for JungleWorld, in the southeastern Wild Asia portion of the zoo, was started in 1977 and completed at a cost of $9.5 million in June 1985. $4.1 million in funds were donated by [[Enid A. Haupt]], a member of the [[New York Zoological Society]]'s board of trustees.<ref name="nyt 1985"/> The building is the largest at the zoo with an area of {{cvt|1|acre|m2}} and a height of {{cvt|55|ft|m}}. There is a wooden path that meanders for {{cvt|0.13|mi|m}}.

The building's design integrates its environment with the path, as no bars are present in the building; the walkway has no full-height barriers and short railings; and only by means of ravines, streams, or cliffs are most of the animals separated from people and each other. There is a [[volcano|volcanic]] [[scrub forest]], a [[mangrove]] [[swamp]], a [[lowland]] [[Evergreen forest|evergreen]] [[rain forest]] with giant trees which merges into a [[Temperate rainforest|mountain rain forest]] and five [[museum]]-like galleries connecting and explaining the habitats.<ref name="nyt 1985">{{cite news |last=Gold |first=Gerald |date=May 26, 1985 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/26/magazine/a-jungle-in-the-bronx.html |title=A Jungle in the Bronx |work=[[The New York Times Magazine]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170519051439/http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/26/magazine/a-jungle-in-the-bronx.html |archive-date=May 19, 2017}}</ref> The building was built to emphasize the fact that {{cvt|150|acre|ha}} of rainforest is lost every minute.<ref>Bazell, R.

====Wild Asia Monorail====
[[File:Bronx Zoo Monorail 2011 vc.jpg|thumb|The Monorail]]

====Dinosaur Safari====
Dinosaur Safari takes visitors on a safari ride through a normally off-exhibit 2-acre wooded area and features [[Animatronics|animatronic]] [[dinosaur]]s from throughout time, starting at 300-million-years ago in the [[Permian Period]] and ending 235-million-years later in the [[Cretaceous Period]]. The ride lasts approximately 20 minutes. The "robo-saurs" are manufactured by Billings Productions, who lease them out to sites all over the world. The exhibit features more popular species such as the ''[[Tyrannosaurus rex]]'', ''[[Triceratops]]'', ''[[Stegosaurus]]'', ''[[Velociraptor]]'' and ''[[Brachiosaurus]]'', as well as less well-known species such as the ''[[Pachycephalosaurus]]'', ''[[Carnotaurus]]'' and ''[[Spinosaurus]]''. The ride's ''[[Dilophosaurus]]'' spit water at visitors as a nod to the species' acid-spitting abilities in [[Steven Spielberg]]'s ''[[Jurassic Park (film)|Jurassic Park]]'' film and [[Michael Crichton]]'s [[Jurassic Park (novel)|novel]], even though there is no reason to believe the living animal did so.<ref name=":6">{{cite web |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/dinosaur-safari-debuts-bronx-zoo-weekend-article-1.1352166 |title=See It: Dinosaur Safari debuts at Bronx Zoo this weekend |author=Barry Paddock |date=May 23, 2013 |work=Daily News |access-date=March 2, 2016 |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305171013/http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/dinosaur-safari-debuts-bronx-zoo-weekend-article-1.1352166 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":7">{{cite web |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/dinosaurs-rumble-bronx-zoo-article-1.1732648 |title=Dinosaurs rumble into Bronx Zoo |author=Tim O'Connor |date=March 25, 2014 |work=Daily News |access-date=March 2, 2016 |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305155745/http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/dinosaurs-rumble-bronx-zoo-article-1.1732648 |url-status=live}}</ref> The exhibit originally ran through the summers of 2013<ref name=":6" /> and 2014<ref name=":7" /> and returned for the 2019 season.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.amny.com/things-to-do/dinosaur-safari-bronx-zoo-1.28193507 |title=They're back!
