Start off early! We arrived shortly after it opened, had a full day of awesome and awe-inspiring experiences. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Zoo is well-maintained and impeccably Clean. The drinks are way overpriced so bring your own ice water. We purchased an all access ticket which allowed us to participate in the added attractions such as the monorail & 4-D experience film. Take note, the parking fee was exorbitant, not sure why. It can turn out to be a very expensive day, especially if you re coming from outside of the borough and need to pay bridge and gas. Wear good walking shoes!
All in all, a nice day with the family. Our favorite places were the flamingos, tigers, and Gorillas.
