I decided to head to the Bronx and visit the Bronx Zoo. Did you know that the<strong> Bronx Zoo offers free admission for any FIT student?\u00a0<\/strong>Neither did I, until today! Any New York City college student gets free admission into the zoo. Have a friend who is not a NYC college student? No problem- the zoo has free admission for every guest every Wednesday!<br \/>\nIt was refreshing to step right outside of Manhattan and visit a neighboring area. I am rarely ever in the Bronx, so I am glad to have had the chance to check it out. People typically spend a few hours at the zoo; I myself arrived at 2pm and stayed until closing at 5:30pm. I&#8217;m glad I took my time-the lions finally woke up from their nap at the end of the day!<br \/>\nFrom <strong>Herald Square<\/strong>,\u00a0you can take the <strong>D Train<\/strong> to <strong>Fordham Road Station<\/strong>, and then the <strong>Bx12 bus<\/strong> from\u00a0<strong><span class=\"tdu-stop-name\">E Fordham Rd\/Grand Concourse\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"tdu-stop-name\">to\u00a0<strong>Fordham Rd\/Southern Bl\u00a0<\/strong>which is only a three minute walk to the zoo. The trip is about an hour, but well worth it. The zoo is open seven days a week, 10am-5pm Monday through Friday, and until 5:30 on the weekend. Be sure to check it out!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Until next time,<br \/>\nAnnmarie X<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5346\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/2018\/04\/29\/things-to-do-student-springtime\/img_8126\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2875,2875\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1524924019&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00046992481203008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8126\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5346\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-624x624.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_8126-48x48.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Weekend!
