The Sopranos happened here. Tony Soprano takes Mercedes car saleswoman, Gloria Trillo, here on a date and things get a little hot in the reptile house.
Bethany RodriguezJuly 24, 2013
I remember coming here as a child. With my kids... the next generation! Its still just as beautiful and even better than I remeber.
A5ma_September 24, 2018
Super crowded on Wednesdays (when the admission is for free).
Rob KelleyNovember 15, 2009
Find the Jungle World building in the Asia section. Very low profile entrance but it's huge and amazing. End up deep down at the Jungle Waterfall room with underwater view of huge fish
Kenyatta Jones-AriettaAugust 21, 2013
The good thing about coming on Wed... Admission is free. The bad thing about coming on Wed... It's so damned crowded you wished you'd paid to come another day.
IvyAugust 30, 2013
They close @ 5 on week days so plan accordingly... I paid for a FULL FUN DAY & ended up with disappointed kids who wanna come back!
Andrew SAugust 12, 2015
The gorillas exhibit and polar bear are both great.
Manos KoumantakisAugust 12, 2012
4th biggest in the world! A must-see and worth of spending a whole day or more..
MetroFocusMarch 20, 2012
Get your creepy crawly on with a visit to the Reptile House. Meet the Cobra who disappeared for nearly a week, and returned with a twitter account: @bronxzooscobra Read more
Carlos GonzalezAugust 25, 2015
Great place to be a whole day being in touch with the nature and the animals
Andrew TIngleySeptember 27, 2011
I've seen more wildlife in my backyard. We came on a Tuesday and the animals were hiding. Prob best to go on weekends
Sean NickApril 16, 2013
Don't try to see everything. If there's a certain animal you'd like to see check first.
zman loAugust 23, 2015
Free Parking Also on Southern blvd. Just walk 1 long block across from Fordham U. Football field.
Parents MagazineJuly 15, 2011
Let your child learn about animals by pretending to be one—like sitting inside a heron’s nest, trying to jump as far as a frog, popping out of a prairie-dog burrow and crawling through an otter log.
Trevor DimmieAugust 23, 2012
No Cheetahs anymore but still a great family trip. Tiger Exhibit was great!
Jennifer OnweJuly 24, 2013
Wednesdays although its free admission, the zoo gets extremely crowded with camps.. Recommend for any other day of the week!
Henry H.November 14, 2011
Get there early if you want to see everything, you can easily spend a whole day here :)
Christina CaroApril 4, 2014
I loved the polar bear, tiger, and giraffe exhibits
Michael CornerstoneAugust 10, 2014
Everything! Amazing place! Staff is friendly and helpful.
Douglas FilterJuly 8, 2016
Natural settings for the animals. But can't tell if we are on display for the monkeys - or vice versa
Melissa DarlingMay 26, 2014
The food is expensive so walk with your own but the exhibits are breath taking!
KibooAugust 5, 2011
Bronx Zoo is open all day Wednesday for only a suggested donation. Give what you can, or go in for free!
D'Agostino SupermarketsJanuary 31, 2012
The Bronx Zoo houses more than 6,000 animals and over 600 unique species. The zoo employs 750 full time staff each year. What a busy place!

Best zoo, hands down, in NYC, and one of the best in the USA!
Erica SJune 9, 2015
The zebras are elegant the 4d movie is always cute
DoraJuly 22, 2010
Watch Dora & Diego’s 4-D Adventure, a 3-D movie starring our favorite amigos on a mission to save the rainforest with cool effects like air blasts, scents and more. Powered by ParentsConnect.com
Donna SalamancaAugust 9, 2015
Had so much fun with the family! Such a great place to take the family 😇
Pamela SchmidtApril 29, 2015
The admission price is getting very expensive. I don't like that they charge extra for all the different activities. I have already paid a small fortune to get in.
Kerri AhernOctober 11, 2014
Been here 5+ times
It's huge so you can spend an entire day here and the kids aren't complaining
Lawrence ChongJanuary 2, 2013
Great zoo but you have to walk through dangerous streets just to get there from subway
Chris GampatJuly 8, 2018
I still like the Queens zoo better. But the Bronx has the most animals.
K & JJune 21, 2016
Be prepared to walk & seriously stop and look around!
Lori PMay 8, 2010
Take the express bus from Manhattan...much better than the subway. Also, go on a weekday in the Spring if you can. You'll avoid the crowds.
PatJuly 23, 2010
My favorite place in New York, they have over 200 species; none of who are in cages. I like wild asia, u cruise through it on a monorail. If u have kids or neices or nephews take them to the kiddie zo Read more

The largest zoo in NYC, best to take the train uptown.

Few animals in the winter but large place to wander without a crowd.
Chris AngelinaMarch 18, 2016
Better when the weather is warmer but still good none the less.
Christopher FredaAugust 30, 2023
My daughter loves the red pandas!
Oksana UltravioletAugust 19, 2015
Wednesday is a free day, but too crowded. All animals are too far to be seen. Waste of money if you go during other days.
MC Photo & TravelNovember 10, 2013
Off season is nice but some exhibits are being refurbished. No crowds, though!
Mike HopkinsJune 18, 2015
The best parts are the carved moldings of all the old buildings
JamesMay 18, 2019
Been here 50+ times
Make sure you take the monorail to see the elephants and tiger
Maryam AlyApril 28, 2014
When you see zoo volunteers/ employees, ask them questions! Heard some cute anecdotes about specific animals this way.
tina tanSeptember 17, 2015
