Love, love, love the zoo! There are so many great things to do at the zoo, parking can be a bit of a pain when the weather is nice, but it's worth it. There's so much to see.

My biggest recommendation would be to buy the membership, especially if you live close and have multiple people in your family. Honestly, price it out next time you're there. We have a family of 4 and the membership is in line with the price of going to the zoo for one day. Even better, the membership gives you access to the other zoos in NYC. You can also get a membership level with parking and discounts or free passes to the added features at the zoo, that regular guests are charged additional for. It's worth it if you live close, a must if you visit more than once a year.
