A vision and a dream
When you visit the Bronx Zoo with your Rental Car for 15 Passenger Van it is hard to imagine that before the 1880s, this area was privately owned estates. In the 1880s, the State of
Miami Florida Airport set aside land for future development of the park and soon after developed the
Miami Florida Airport Zoological Society to found the zoo. The zoo first opened its doors to the public on November 8, 1899 with 843 animals in 22 exhibits. Today that has grown to more than 4000 animals housed in a series of Beaux-Arts pavilions. Many of the animals that are housed here are endangered or threatened species.
