I found a photo of my brother & I on the Children’s Wishing Seat, taken by my parents in November 1956. How do I get it to you?

I have a photo from 65/66 vintage of my brother, cousin and me sitting there! My brother found this blog via Google confirming my insistence it was a Bronx Zoo visit. Thanks!

Hi Dagmar,

That’s a nice memory from the Bronx Zoo.

It seems that the Wishing Seat has been gone from the Children’s Zoo for over 40 years. There are new features to enjoy these days. Hope you stop by and see them this summer!

Is the Wishing Seat still there? I thought I caught a glimpse of it on the Animal Plant show ‘The Zoo’, and that reminded me that I have a picture of myself and a friend sitting there. Just wondering…
