2- One World Observatory:
After almost a decade of construction between 2006 and 2015, one of the tallest buildings in the Western Hemisphere took its place on the north-west corner of the World Trade Centre site. Designed by master architect David Childs the One World Trade Centre is a spectacular glass and steel monolith, reaching 1,776 feet into the sky. Inside this amazing building visitors are greeted with a slick exhibit detailing the tower’s development, before being whisked into a screen lined elevator, where you’ll be treated to a time lapse history of New York as you glide upwards.
Of course, the real highlight is waiting at the top with the three-story observatory that is absolutely stunning, offering unprecedented panoramic views of this great city. Enjoy breathtaking scenes of New York City and beyond with views stretching over 50 miles into the distance. Then check out the Sky Walk, which broadcasts real time video onto the walls and floor, allowing you to get a birds-eye view of the city below including the Upper New York Bay and the Statue of Liberty, as well as the Brooklyn Bridge and the cluster of Midtown skyscrapers.
1- Bronx Zoo :
The Bronx Zoo is located within Bronx Park in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. It is one of the largest zoos in the United States by area, comprising 265 acres of parklands and naturalistic habitats separated by the Bronx River. The Zoo is teeming with wildlife including alligators, baboons and camels and more than 6000 animals call it home. Highlights of a day at the zoo include the lions and zebras on the African Plains, the eagles and owls of the Birds of Prey exhibit, and the Congo Gorilla Forest.
The Children’s Zoo is a great place for kids to safely get up-close and personal with some unfamiliar creatures, like anteaters and sloths, as well as the petting zoo favourite, the mini goat. The Bronx Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the country, and has been conservation minded throughout history and in the early 20th century the American great plains were restocked using Bronx-bred bison. Bronx Zoo is a great day out for all the family to enjoy especially the regular feedings scheduled throughout the day, including the sea lions and penguins, which are great fun to watch!
