It's an amazing place but it takes 2 days to cover the entire zoo.
Lamont DavisNovember 6, 2011
Always a fun spot to go with the kids...whole park should be free though!

Letting guests sip cocktails under a canopy of leaves in the congo gorilla forest or relaxin in the tranquil dancing cran pavilion are just 2 of 7 spaces available for booking at this famous zoo!

Spend some time at the Sea Lions exhibit. But be careful - you can easily lose track of time and spend hours there!
Rafael SulitJuly 4, 2012
Cap the trip off with a ride on the monorail. It's really cool and an exhibit in itself!
Devoni MSeptember 25, 2010
The Bronx Zoo is great. You really need a full day to see the entire zoo. Arrive when gates open and leave at closing time.
Norman EllisDecember 22, 2015
Park outside the zoo and save yourself the $20+ parking fee.
DeeAugust 15, 2018
This is the saddest zoo I have ever been to. Small cages and sad animals (even though the park is so big that they could have made it into a paradise for them), I came out of there really depressed ;/
Tamara DSeptember 22, 2019
Love this zoo !
Karen Lang-CuencaSeptember 7, 2015

Get a free year's membership if you have an IDNYC card.
Sam HaveSippyAugust 13, 2012
the theater in the summer is a great break from the heat!
Rebecca AlvarezMarch 30, 2018
Try out the Zipline in the summer!
Andy WonMay 11, 2014

Very cool gardens, bring a picnic!

Go on Wednesday and pay only the full experience tickets! (14.95$ instead of 28$+14.94$)

Coming here on a Wednesday is like walking in to welfare after 11am!!! Just don't do it lol!

I rode Rosie the camel at the camel rides near the Asia Gate. It was awesome.
sljSeptember 18, 2023
all in all it is an amazing zoo
Guido TamayoMay 15, 2013
Make sure to watch the 4D show, so much fun!
Alex MakarJune 10, 2012
It is free if you come at 16:30 1 hour before closing time
Alexandra JenkinsJune 21, 2015
Magical still even as an adult :)
NOOOOOO EWWWWWWAugust 5, 2010
Butterflies are attracted to the color white; dress appropriately for the Butterfly House... if you're 7 it's terrifying.
Bruno CardosoOctober 4, 2015
Wesnesdays are general admission free!!
Erika MetreyAugust 12, 2015
Don't go on wednesday! It's free admission but crazy busy

It's better to come early to finish the whole zoo
Chrissy RoseroAugust 7, 2013
I don't recommend the chicken caesar salad. Chicken taste like tuna. Also chicken strips have no chicken in them. So bring your own lunch!!!!!
Rosa MorenaAugust 12, 2014
Love the animals!
L GJuly 9, 2012
Total experience package is definitely worth it!
Lizzie BordenJuly 26, 2018

david levyAugust 10, 2014
Wish they had better pickup / drop off. (Gotta go thru the parking lot.) Nice animals tho.
David FinkAugust 18, 2012
50% discount for military, don't forget to show your ID.
Jillian VerderosaFebruary 26, 2016
Such a clean and beautiful zoo
ElizabethApril 29, 2012
See the aardvark! He likes ants, so if you find one, share.
Allan YaphockunOctober 9, 2012
durable walking shoes and be there on wednesdays when it's free.
Jevon MoralesNovember 6, 2014
Everything!!! 🐘🐯🐆🐵🐪🐻
Sharlene AyalaJuly 5, 2012
Do not go WEDNeSDAY, its.donation or free day and you can barely appreciate the zoo with all the people...
Aryan JJune 21, 2010
Skip the Total Experience pass and ask for General Admission at the ticket booth (they do not advertise this). You will save by paying for the Congo and Asian monorail separately (only two worth it).
MApril 22, 2016
Better for older kids than small kids/toddlers since it's so big. Food is expensive and service is slow.
Olga MejiaApril 7, 2016
Everything birds and snakes
Trever PolakAugust 31, 2014
You can ride a cablecar around parts of the zoo.
Greg NeufeldMay 11, 2012
Stop banging on the glass and screaming. You're Not only pissing of the animals.
