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 3 days ago
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.
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!
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.
Jeffrey ZeldmanJuly 28, 2012A nice, lower-pressure, less crowded alternative to Central Park Zoo and The Bronx Zoo. On the site of the 1964 World's Fair.
Come Visit The Queens Zoo! An 8 Acre Zoo Featuring North & South American Animals & An Awesome Petting Zoo - It Truly Is The Best Kept Secret Of Flushing Meadow Park- 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.
Mario RestivoAugust 2, 2011Get the family membership pays for it's self in one trip to the Bronx zoo. U can hit up cp zoo queens prospect park Bronx n the aquarium. Plus u get 4 free parking which is 13 bucks a pop !
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
Chieko BonnaApril 27, 2014Beautiful and perfect zoo for little ones. Small payground is located in the zoo as well. Bring quarters for feeding.
Matthew WellsSeptember 21, 2014The geodesic aviary, the landscaping, proximity to the animals. I think this is the best all round zoo in the city.
Jared BrodskyJuly 23, 2023Love this zoo. It’s small, circular and manageable. Walk through in about an hour.
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!
imbookinOctober 13, 2011What's not in Corona Park? This is nestled by Citi Field, NY Science Hall, & other attractions. Speaking of Corona, let ur guests sip it amongst the Native American animals that the zoo is famous for.
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.
DoraJuly 21, 2010Buy a family membership ($124) that gets you and your kids in to the Queens, Bronx, Central Park, and Prospect Park zoos, plus the New York Aquarium year-round. Powered by ParentsConnect.com
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.
