I feel I spend more time walking than I do seeing animals. Everything feels so spaced apart. I doubt children can endure walking throughout the whole zoo on foot. Additionally, there's so many extras/exhibitions at the Bronx Zoo that requires an additional fee. Parking, entrance fee, and food, I understand I will be gouged on that but then all the cool stuff requires more money. Mere regular admission is extremely lackluster. If you come here and want to have fun, you will have to shell out more money for the extras.
