I went on a FREE WEDNESDAY, general admission only. I paid additional so I could see Congo.

First, it was very easy to get there by subway. After getting off, it was only about a 10 minute walk and there were signs to the zoo.

It took me about 4 hours to see everything as the zoo was not crowded. I suggest going when kids are in school.

The staff there are super friendly and attentive. I even enjoyed their over priced food as it was part of the experience. You can bring your own food as they don't check your bags.

The only thing I was upset with, Tundra the polar bear passed away so I didn't get to see her. Other than that, what a way to enjoy a day with the family or friends.
