Bronx Zoo Opens a New Nighttime Course for Treetop Adventure Exhibit

Treetop Adventure is an interactive exhibit at the Bronx Zoo which lets you zip and climb through nature high above the ground. They recently opened a new nighttime course, so you can traverse the treetops in the dark!

Climb, swing, and slide through obstacle courses in the trees. Push your boundaries, defy gravity, get close to nature, and know your visit helps WCS support wildlife around the world. It’s the best new experience in New York—a fresh park on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo.

Tickets start at $35 for zip lining and $65 for a two-hour climbing session. Though technically part of the Bronx Zoo complex, Treetop Adventure is a separate ticket and park from the zoo, meaning you can go without purchasing a zoo ticket.

WARNING: Video contains graphic content

The Ryders Alley Trencher-Fed Society (a.k.a R.A.T.S.) is a group who trains their dogs to hunt and kill rats on the streets of New York City. Usually found in garbage piles and parks, the dogs will find the rats using their natural hunting abilities, catch them as they try to flee, and shake the rat violently in their mouths until dead. In this video from Shira Stoll for the Staten Island Advance, see how it all works during a hunt.
