My family and I really love the Bronx Zoo! Our 20mont old loves the free roaming "Kah-koos" (peakocks!). The animals always look so healthy and vibrant, and the zoo is very accommodating for all ages. My big reason for not giving it all 5 stars is that, despite being members for the last few years, early this month, when we went on a Friday (over a lot of middle/elementary schools spring breaks), parking (which we're supposed to get free as members) was totally shut down in all lots because they were all apparently "full." It was 1pm. People that had gotten there at open were already leaving. Despite seeing several open spots while driving by, the person "directing traffic" just said "find the nearest university and park there." I'm not familiar with the Bronx other than the zoo, and I had 5 children with me. NOT COOL. I was able to find free street parking a few blocks away, but I was quite disappointed with the lack of actual direction.
