I have been to almost all the zoos in the tri state area and I have to say the bronx zoo is number 3 (white post farms on Long Island is #1, Turtle back in New Jersey #2). Bronx zoo is humongous and spread out. Lots of animals and the petting zoo is decent (don't forget to bring change or dollar bills to purchase animal food to feed the goats, alpacas and donkeys). A great family day can be held by all.
