With 265 acres housing more than 4,000 animals, this should be near the top of every young family's itinerary in New York. And if you're an older visitor, the Bronx Zoo could be a great way to escape the nonstop activity in Manhattan. The zoo's claim to fame is that it's the largest metropolitan animal park in the country. Individual ticket to the zoo, plus each attraction quickly adds up, especially for a family, but for a little more, the best investment is to join the Conservation Membership and you'll get 1 year access to 4 other zoos plus the aquarium.
