I have been to the Bronx Zoo on numerous occasions both as a child and now as an adult bringing my children there. While I still LOVE the zoo, and I love the Bronx, they've changed the way that they charge for things in the zoo. It used to be that general admission covered just about everything besides food and souvenirs. Now it's $6 to ride the shuttle; $10 to enter the children's zoo; $24 to park for the day, and so on and so on. I know it's New York, but even by NY standards, this was much to expensive.
