Bronx Zoo, New York

An truly “wild” site for a corporate team building event, the Bronx Zoo is one of the world’s largest metropolitan zoos,  showcasing some 4,000 animals representing about 650 species.Built upon grounds once owned by Fordham University and later sold to the City of New York for a mere $1,000, the Zoo opened its doors to the public on November 8, 1899.  Architects Heins & LaFarge designed the original permanent buildings (many still seen today) as a series of majestic, Beaux-Arts pavilions grouped around the large circular sea lion pool.  The Bronx Zoo today combines the elegance of the turn of the century with today’s state-of-the-art exhibits and attractions.
