As Manhattan’s Northern neighbor, the Bronx may not get as much attention from tourists outside of the region. However, this renowned borough has plenty of unforgettable attractions to offer travelers. From pizza to hip-hop history, use the following list to see the best the Bronx has to offer during your NYC getaway.

3 Places to Go When Visiting the Bronx

1. The Bronx Zoo

As the country’s oldest and largest zoo, this attraction should be filed in the can’t-miss category for tourists. There are an impressive 265 acres of exhibits and over 4,000 animals, so the whole family can find their favorite critter. Plus, they’ll let your family get interactive with camel rides, a carousel, and a nature trek.

2. Hip-Hop Tours

If you’d rather brush up on your pop culture history, book a spot with Hush Hip Hop Tours® to meander this mainland borough, also known as the birthplace of hip-hop. The tour will take you and your travel partners from legendary site to legendary site, whether you’re a fan of Grandmaster Flash or Slick Rick. 

3. Yankee Stadium

Of course, no visit to the Bronx is complete without a trip to Yankee Stadium. The current facility was built in 2009, but it sits right next to the original site of the former stadium. If you’re planning a trip sometime between April and October, book a cushioned seat for the game. During the winter and spring, you can still marvel at the 54,251-seat stadium by booking an off-season tour.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite at these attractions, head to Emilio’s of Morris Park for a slice of authentic New York pizza. You can stop in to get the full experience, or download the app and order online by texting “Emilios” to 33733. If you have friends in the Bronx area, snag them a gift card to this celebrated pizza joint. To learn more about their menu options, visit the website or call (718) 822-6758 today.
