We LOVE the Bronx Zoo but don t ever ever EVER go there on Free Wednesday, during spring vacation, on the first really nice day...UNLESS you want to also experience the press of a rush hour nyc sidewalk almost continually during your visit, and mile-long lines EVERYWHERE (including the Women s bathrooms!)...it is a ZOO (& we very shamefacedly recommend using the men s rooms those lines were SO awful!) Otherwise, all things considered, in our humble estimation, it still exceeds the San Diego Zoo in beauty and remains our favorite zoo in all of the USA...
