Bronx zoo Reviews

Big zoo great variety of animals. Make sure you hydrate yourself take lot of liquids and some snacks. Wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk and enjoy the animals.

Such a great place to see wildlife in somewhat their natural habitats. Never been to the zoo before so this was my first time there, but I have to say it was a great experience! Really friendly staff and great tour guides who seem to be experts on all things Zoo related LOL it's only one bus ride there on the q44, but it could be a little tricky to find. Went on a Tuesday so the tickets could be a little expensive, however, found out that CUNY students get a significant discount. I think it's about 50% off or something like that. My sister and I would normally have to pay about $80 together, but it turns out we only paid 35 with our CUNY student discount. Who knew!? Great experience and would deff go again!

Today is free admission, probably because most of the area's are closed.

It was great. Good chance to hide from all the buildings in the city.

Gorgeous day and it wasn't too crowded considering it's free admission day.

Wednesdays are free. Great place for a date of any kind

The Bronx Zoo is a awesome place to visit with you and your family and have a wonderful time I highly recommend it.but keep in mind bring your walking shoes you will be walking for days and you won't see everything that's how big the zoo is I have lived in the Bronx and visited the zoo on several occasions and I have not completely seen the whole zoo.

If you need to see all animals you need to buy the $40 ticket. General admission won't get to gorillas or the jungleworld.

The walks between inclosures are far but understandable.

Had fun could not do all in one day. Look for parking on side streets first and go early

One of the best zoos I have visited in my life. animals well cared for and with enough space. unq of the best experiences of my life.

What an absolute incredible experience! The park is simply gorgeous, we kept walking around saying we re in New York?! The sea lion feeding was great and the kids loved it! Strongly recommend getting the total experience package, it s worth it just to visit the Congo and ride the carousel once!

Huge zoo, tons of great exhibits and animals. Pretty far north so budget some time to get there.

An absolute gem for New Yorkers with a wide variety of exhibits including dinosaur safari!

I like this zoo! This zoo has great animals and exhibits. It's a really good zoo that teaches you about animals. The children's zoo has a children's farm where you can feed the animals.

Enjoy taking the kids. I suggest bringing a picnic lunch because the food is terribly over priced and not that good. You can purchase a souvenir cup and get discounted refills.

Great experience for both kids and adults. Check weather before you plan your trip to avoid getting wet in the middle of your tour.

You must not miss this experience. This is one of our family favorite spots in the world. We've been here three times and still haven't seen it all. Everytime we visit is a new adventure. The animals are very well kept and look healthy and happy. Their conservation and research labor is outstanding. I'll keep my subscription for years to come!!!

Love taking my kids to the zoo. Nature is something we all take for granted and reminds us that we are not the only creature that god created . Had a blast , it s great to see that the Bronx zoo haven t been on the decline . Would love to see the zoo get a remodel and expanded . Too many people and not ally of walking space . People rude , they bump u and don t even acknowledge!! Smh .

Very cool. Wednesday usually free entrance. Parking I think 18 doll

Long walk ..But totally worth it.. they section for kids too..Animals are kept in much larger space and it doesn't even look like they captive.. and it's decided into continent base

Went here for the first time. Heard it was one of the most see zoo s around, so me and my family decided to take a trip. Honestly, I could ve saved my money. Exhibits were down, animals were barely seen, the directions were terrible. The bears looked old and beat up. Too much walking with barely much to see. The Philadelphia zoo had more exciting things. At least there, the lions roam around a fenced in area throughout the park and tigers walk above you. I guess I just expected to see way more and get a better experience since it s considered one of the top zoo s. The only good thing about the zoo was the amount of restrooms and eating places.

My 4 year old loved it. Walked the entire place. Too bad the Lions were sleeping when he wanted to see them.

I love all the new updates. I hadn't been there in a long time.

it s not like it used to be. i understand it s hot outside but there were BARELY any animals outside. everything was closed. the animals i did see were hiding. the best part about my visit today was when i got on a shuttle to go somewhere, and then they made me get off, walk a few feet, and get back on the same shuttle to continue going along the trail bc it was a check point. although i was on the shuttle, i had to get off and get back in line. it s VERY confusing if you don t know anything about the park. the staff are very friendly but it s not worth it to be honest.

Kids loved all the exhibits! Great place to spend a day with kids.

They have the COVID stuff well under control. Great, but expensive, day with the kids... Visit on a Wednesday if price is a concern, and hunt around on the website for the limited admission ticket since most of the special exhibits are closed in the winter.

Me and my family, had a great time visiting the zoo, spent the whole day at the zoo, and we still did not get a chance to see every exhibit.

The Bronx Zoo was so animal friendly I recommend going there it's the best zoo I have ever went to!

It's a big place to walk. We upgraded the tickets to get the total experience and it ended up being an expensive activity. I think that everyone should at least pay for the train to move around.

Great zoo lots of animals but pretty expensive. Recommend going on wed when it's free

Great place to visit with kids . Lot of animals and my daughter loves the petting zoo area . She enjoy feeding those animals and sea lion show . Big area so be sure bring along stroller

Wonderful Zoo & exhibits. However, I was very disturbed by the lonely polar bear who was panting & pacing relentlessly in the rather small exhibit. Very upsetting!

Always this were i went when i was a child now i take my grandkids

It's awesome and so big. I have had been in this place many times and I have never been disappointed. It's a great place to go with family, kids and friends. You can go on Wednesdays for FREE.

The facilities and exhibits are amazing. The only drawback is the number of children who scream in every damn closed room which has nothing to do with the zoo. Amazing time when you escape the howling school groups.

The most wonderful zoo in the world, worth it, just go

Excellent overall experience. A must go place for people who have kids. My daughter loved the butterfly park

I lived across the street from the Bronx Zoo many years ago haven't been there in over 30 years or more making plans to visit again with my great nephews it was a great place then and from what I seen on television series about the zoo I got to go see it soon so should everyone else.

My kids and i enjoyed it. Especially we got a pass to get in for free from my son school. I just didn't like that you had to pay to see some exhibts but hey can't complain got in for free

Just got back from this amazing place! Best zoo by far that I've even been too! Visiting from Canada for a family vacation. There was hardly anyone there and our 4 hours there flew by far too fast!

Love this place I'm a huge animal lover so walking around here is the best

More than a zoo. A great place to spend time with your family. Hop on a camel, ride on a tram and more!

Went on the free day. Had a great ti.e with my kids.

The Bronx zoo is always an amazing outdoor place to be in. Especially now with their new activities and zip line

Don't go on the free Wednesdays and unfortunately it's really only a good zoo if you pay extra to get into the gorilla and Asian areas. All their best animals are there.

Great experience, the staff was kind, the place is in good conditions , many animals to see.. definitely recommended!

Lots of interesting animals to see, and lots of space to walk around. Great for kids.

Took a bus trip down. Glad I did because the group sales parking lot C was crazy! I suggest if driving in and not in a group use the other two parking lots. The only issue I had was we were given incorrect info from a worker, and treated like we were an inconvenience when we went to the wrong check in booth, but we were doing what we were told.

After the entrance confusion the experience was great from there. The exhibits for the animals were very well done for both the animals and humans. I was able to see all the animals, and the animals had amazing habitats built for them.

Peacocks roam free through out the park which is so cool.

Lots to eat, and stores. The park is actually really big. May not get done in a day.

I will go back to finish what I didn t see.

Great place, a los of animales, prepare for long walks , Wednesday is free entrance with limitation on watch animals and events. Parking is $17 every day not exception.

Its was my first time... and i loved it... but i think the should have wifi access for the guess and the shuttle was close... so walking with my litlle cousin of 4 year was a nightmare but over all, my visit was most memorable

We get the membership its the best my family goes all the time its never enough time see everything. My family has great times seeing the animals

2 stars for the Giraffes cuz we got to see them close up....otherwise the park has very few animals and a huge distance from one another aka too much walking and u can barely see the animals they are a mile away from where u can see 'em!!!!

Fun for the whole family, a lot stuff to do, totally worthy to do the membership

One of the most magical places in New York, if not the entire USA. So much so that our family is now members of National Wildlife Association. So this way parking and entrance is free, we absolutely love this place, one of our favorite things to do in the zoo is the tram and the kids zoo.
(I don t like posting personal pictures of my family so sorry for the not so great pictures)

Enter at 330pm not enough time to get the whole experience. Get there earlier !

Best damn zoo I ve ever been too my feet hurt I ve walked all day and there s still more too see

The zoo was surprisingly crowded considering that everyone is supposed to be socially distancing. Also about half of the exhibits are closed.

Expensive except on Wednesdays. Should be better views and more taking care of. But after all they are doing well more less just go there and get my point.....

It's nice the first few times, but it seemed that some animals weren't being taken care of properly. It was kind of sad to watch, but most of it was really interesting and informative. My favorite exhibit was the reptile world, seeing the snakes and lizards up close was awesome.

You will never be able to take in all that glory. Just take a spot and absorb it all.

Great day thank to the Bronx Zoo for providing such wonderful and beautiful memories

The kids always enjoy going, it's like every visit is their 1st visit and we're there once sometime twice a week since we got the membership which works out way cheaper.

Thought I would see Monkeys but they are too good at Hiding .

It was very nice, went a little early in the season so some of the animals were unavailable. Traffic in the Bronx was not good but overall nice place to visit.

Great zoo. Good way to spend the afternoon. I would dedicate an entire afternoon in order to get the best experience.

I love the zoo and so do my 11/8/3 yo kids, but I docked a star because it was crowded and people were ignoring spacing needs. Signs were everywhere, but ppl are the worst. I felt unsafe for my family several times.

i recommend this bronx zoo to parents that are not sure of bringing there children here. i have to say that this is the fairly zoo i have been too not only my self by my kids loved.

Always something new to see. Great way to spend the day

Free Wednesday's but I paid 14.95 for access to everything. Well Worth it!

Amazing exhibits, friendly and knowledgeable staff. This is a wonderful place for a family day or a date. Food prices are a bit high, so with little ones bring snacks. The prices go towards supporting the zoo, so still worth it.

Yes, Wednesdays are free but you have to be there early!! The lines wrap around the block. But you can get total experience tickets any day which will give you access to EVERYTHING

A great place to get away from humans for a few hours. You see more in the warm months. Some of the animals stay out of sight during the cold winter months.

The Bronx Zoo is wonderful! We love how they care about conservation and how they care for their animals. Many times you forget you are visiting a zoo as it feels that you are just exploring wildlife in their natural habitat.

Even when you aren't exploring and learning more about these beautiful creatures that roam our earth, you get to just watch the waterfalls, hike a bit, and just take in the quiet calm of nature away from the city.

We love it here and highly recommend you visit...

Always a great experience. Make sure you get there early enough to enjoy it.

Pay the $15.00 on Weds so worth it, all attractions included plus transport from one side of the zoo to the other.

This zoo was awesome. Tons of stuff to do. The zoo is huge. Lot of fun here.

This has been a very good experience the Bronx Zoo is the best there is and when you get the family Premium plan it's all worth it for two hundred bucks a year you can beat that

Even with an all inclusive ticket, there is way too much stuff to be done in one day! Amazing zoo! I highly recommend the all inclusive tickets. You'll save money

Had such a great time with my family enjoyed Easter vacation going to see animals and learning about wildlife.

Great zoo with many exhibits. The more popular exhibits tend to be more crowded. For the most part it is well maintained. Great place to get away from the noisy city.

Love this place no way to see everything in one trip.
