Wonderful zoo!! So happy to have this piece of nature in NYC. Went during Columbus Day and the parking lot was super crowded but the zoo is large enough where everyone can spread out and won't feel overwhelming. Get the total experience ticket option to access all rides and attractions, its just over $10 more than general admission. When getting in line for the monorail, take the left option when the line splits vs the right if given the choice, that line goes quicker. Amazing place for kids of all ages.
