The Bronx Zoo is well maintained with lots of parking spaces, places to eat both indoors and outdoors, clean bathrooms and helpful guides.

A few things you should know if you go. Parking in one of their lots is expensive, a whopping $17 per car. If it rains you will miss out on a lot of exhibits and animals. We went on a bus trip to the Bronx Zoo and it rained all day. We missed half of the exhibits or if an exhibit was open the animals were inside and many of those exhibits didn t have inside enclosures. The monorail was also closed and the shuttles didn t run so we didn t see the outer areas either. We saw a couple of gorillas in their inside closures but every time we came by they were sleeping. Maybe they didn t like the rain either. We spent the entire day there and made sure to go back to several exhibits twice. So, if it rains you may want to reschedule your trip.

The Bronx Zoo does have a lot to offer and it is beautifully maintained. A few of our favorite areas were the butterfly indoor gardens, funny lemurs, gorillas, and Komodo dragon exhibit.
