Guides

The Bronx Zoo's Treetop Adventure and Nature Trek, which is home to a couple of ziplines, reopened August 7. Tickets must be reserved and purchased online in advance, masks are required at all times, and you must practice social distancing. Spanning more than 400 feet in each direction, the pair of ziplines travel 50 feet above the Bronx River, with the platform for the zip back even higher than the initial launch pad. The zipline is outfitted with dual, side-by-side lines for double fun.
