Bronx Zoo Children’s Zoo Grand Reopening

After a renovation, the Children’s Zoo at the Bronx Zoo is officially reopening this weekend, with lots of real animals — the new species include the giant anteater and the world’s smallest deer, the pudu — and one fictional one: Peppa Pig, star of the Nick Jr. television series that bears her name. Peppa will visit the opening celebration on both days at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., and small visitors can make Peppa masks. The weekend will also offer music and dance performances, guided tours of the remodeled Children’s Zoo (every half-hour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), and appearances by Brendan Wenzel, the artist who did the exhibits’ new graphics, who will sign the latest book he’s illustrated, “Some Bugs.”
