Today is the anniversary of the Bronx Zoo opening in 1899! Here is what crowds looked like ten years later on a Sunday by the Sea Lion Pool and Old Bird House in what was then referred to as Baird Court (now Astor Court).

Thanks, Sana!
Do you know what the structure is to the west of the sealion pool and south of the Bird House?
Also, is it just me or does the curb around Baird Court look higher?
Thanks, Scott! I think that structure is just a temporary tent that might have been set up. And the curb does definitely look a bit higher!
