It's the most famous Zoo in NYC and for a reason… it’s HUGE. AND exciting. Host an event here & sip cocktails below the leaves in the gorilla forest. Or perhaps the Dancing Crane Pavilion is ur scene.

The animals, the amazing staff and the rides (monorail and big carousel) are the reasons we love the Bronx Zoo.

Go early 10am you beat the crowds, and it’s cooler and less and hir the big exhibits eg the Gorillas

Student discounts are not advertised but super worth mentioning! Be prepared to walk A LOT. There is a shuttle but it only does pick ups on one of the four sides of the park...kind of stupid...

Winter time is zoo time. Many animals love the cold and it's a completely different experience without the crowds.

So much to see and do, you definitely need more than one day to see everything

Be sure to watch the sea lions get fed. The Chinchillas are also impressive.

#Fun place to visit and spend the day. Either alone or by yourself.
Heather RowanJanuary 20, 2017
Amazing animals and lots of space for kids to run around.
Alex FishJanuary 19, 2015
Free on Wednesdays! One of the best zoos in the country easily accessible via the 2 or 5

If you've been to San Diego wild animal park or the San Diego zoo this might be worth skipping. But if not this place is worth going at least once!
Townley GirlAugust 3, 2011
You must visit the Bronx Zoo and check out all the crazy amazing animals! We especially love the gorillas, who love to interact with all visitors and make us laugh.

I LOVE IT HERE! Although Some of animals are not in their respective places, but its really fun for a family bonding
Steff HindMarch 7, 2015
Try going end of fall / beginning of winter it's really quiet and most of the animals are still around.
Patrick BaskinMay 1, 2016
Great zoo! Take the Wild Asia monorail for the best experience (animal viewing and tour guide narrative)
Peter VigeantApril 14, 2013
There hasn't been a year in the entire history of the zoo when an animal didn't escape. Most of the time it's a small bird or snake, but in 1982 it was a rare and dangerous panther.

Go on Wednesday if you can. Half price and crowds are low before 1pm. Bring your own snacks and a water bottle to save money.
Sabarish RaghupathyOctober 3, 2020
Amazing zoo! Take the membership with parking and visit multiple times!
Matt ZupkaAugust 25, 2014
Awesome zoo. Lots of different habitats to explore. Splurge for the full experience ticket.

One nicer days, try to get to the zoo at opening. The crowds are smaller, and the animals are often more active.
Kimberly AginSeptember 5, 2015
An incredible zoo - clean, fabulous petting zoo, and a staff that really seems to care.
Michael ReillySeptember 11, 2017
Beautiful place, easy to spend the whole day here
Markus TarjamoJanuary 18, 2016
Probably one of the best zoos I've been to. Definitely check out the gorillas!
Nick RadfordMarch 9, 2018
Congo exhibit is excellent. Animals are very well cared for. A good zoo.

With more than 5,000 living at the Bronx Zoo, it’s easy to see why a trip to the zoo would make a great day out. Read more

Go check out the Madagascar exhibit featuring lemurs! Don't forget to post your photos on social media with #NYisWild!
sljSeptember 18, 2023
get the guided monorail, it is well worth the extra fee.
Dan MilanoSeptember 1, 2015
Animals are great, food is poor, security guards will hassle you if you lean back on a bench and look at the clouds.
Nate FolkertOctober 15, 2014
The Komodo dragon and monitor lizard exhibit is on the west side of the building. The indoor home for the rhinoceros is on the east.
An XiaoJune 3, 2010
One of the best zoos I've seen - well worth a visit. Visit on a cloudy day, and the animals will be super active. Try to see the polar bear in early afternoon.

A reconstruction of an African rainforest encompasses 6.5 acres and is home to animals, including more than 20 western lowland gorillas. Make sure you come take a look! Read more

The largest zoo in NYC, best to take the train uptown. On Wednesday, the Zoo offer's donation entry as admission.
Karl BergerOctober 29, 2019
Don't miss the Congo Gorilla Forest! It is a life-changing exhibit.
Alyssa PAugust 10, 2012
A lot of walking, uneven pavement and not a lot of animals during the walk. Lots of things that should be repaired and updated and is not. Seemed like their money goes to research more than exhibits.
Kai BrinkerApril 9, 2011
Be sure to check out the giraffes. They're probably the closest you're allowed to get to a big animal without a fence, moat, or window in the way.

Great in the winter when you don’t have to contend with all the tourists!
Charles B.June 9, 2015
Get there early to full enjoy everything.
Jennifer SearlJanuary 6, 2017
Beautiful zoo. Wednesdays are pay what you wish. Some exhibits are closed seasonally.
Tony TorresAugust 16, 2013
If you are parking on Southern Blvd, PLEASE remove valuables from plain sight! Your car will be broken into if thieves can quickly see what you have to take.
Jay EaglesonAugust 6, 2014
Huge zoo with plenty to see and do. The place is kept very clean.
Benny BaezApril 22, 2014
The monkeys and gorillas are awesome. Definitely get there as early as possible
Jamie EApril 6, 2013
The gorillas may be behind glass but they were the most interactive out if all the animals. They tapped the glass at us.
Julie SebastianAugust 17, 2010
Membership is only 120 bucks or so, you get in free and get 6 free parking passes. Includes all exhibits, rides, etc. Definitely worth the money and a great place to go spend a couple hours!
Lorraine EspositoDecember 29, 2011
I've been a member here for 13 years and each time I visit with my boys, we find something new. The summer programs are awesome.
Ray HApril 15, 2010
Worth visiting when in The Bronx, just don't go on Wed. because it's free and always way full on that day with less animals on display as on any other day (which one pays for) Read more
Matt DorvilleFebruary 6, 2010
I've seen lots of zoos and this is a good one. It's really big and nice and great for a nice afternoon. I know zoos get a bad rap sometimes but isn't it worse when the animals don't get to see anyone?
