The zoo has many species for all animal lovers and is a beautiful park. The whole time, you are enjoying the shade and trees. There are many things besides the zoo so I would recommend the higher priced ticket so you can do them all -- it pays for itself after 2 activities and you WILL want to do more. We had kids age 3-6 with us and they had fun the whole day with all the extra activities to keep them entertained! Park in the Bronx River Parkway lot, it's RIGHT off the parkway and so easy.
