Such a great Zoo, especially if you have kids under age of 5 as it doesn't require a full day of walking. Lots of seasonal events (Zoo Boo is great for tikes). Get a family membership for best value.Upvoted Oct 12
Paige CJuly 31, 2017Beautiful zoo, lots to see. So many baby animals! My only complaint: their signs could be a bit more detailed and informative.
Great zoo, doesn’t require a lot of walking since it’s small. The kids always love coming here as well, good way to kill an hour or 2.
Rita LMay 9, 2021Cool zoo! Bring a zip lock bag and quarters for the petting zoo! You can use it to hold the feeding snack!

Matthew WellsSeptember 21, 2014The geodesic aviary, the landscaping, proximity to the animals. I think this is the best all round zoo in the city.

Speaking of Corona, let ur guests sip it amongst the Native American animals that the zoo is famous for.
Chieko BonnaApril 27, 2014Beautiful and perfect zoo for little ones. Small payground is located in the zoo as well. Bring quarters for feeding.
Fabio DianApril 28, 2013Entering the zoo costs 8 for adult and 6 for kids. There are plenty of attractions to kids. Sealions are fed on 11:30AM, 2 and 4 PM. Bring your own food, since there are only pricey vending machines.
Jared BrodskyJuly 23, 2023Love this zoo. It’s small, circular and manageable. Walk through in about an hour.
Perfect for small kids . Vending machine is expensive. They have nice picnic tables so bring a lunch. There is a carousel and a lady that sells fake kids tatoos just outside park. Parking is free
Queens MuseumNovember 15, 2011#StaffPick Tim (education): This is a favorite with kids from our Family Workshops and a definite highlight for our QMA campers! Be sure to check out the aviary!

KuKu MontalvoJune 2, 2012It's and ok zoo but I definitely like the staten island zoo. It has more things to see and do with the kids.
Robert CortesJune 4, 2013This place is much nice on the weekdays when there are only school trips here..... Odd right ?!
Marcela JacobsApril 26, 2011Petting Zoo is directly across from the zoo & it's included in the price.
