It's a wonderful workout to view the distant animal viewing areas BUT the zoo as a whole is WHEELCHAIR INACCESSIBLE. Dirt paths, uneven and inclined access to view animals make the Bronx Zoo a challenge to wheelchair guests. The long separation between exhibits exhausts the companion and likely wheelchair bound guest. While a Paralympic athlete might take this on as a good workout, the casual wheelchair user might be disappointed at how many exhibits they might miss. Inconsistent wheelchair access to bathrooms in landmark buildings and distant alternatives demands the guest retrace their path to wheelchair wide restrooms. Even paths meant to accommodate the disabled are so steep that extra effort and care is required.
