Bronx zoo Reviews

The bronx zoo lighting was great, we had a good time!

So many great animals at the Bronx zoo. The place is huge - you can literally spend the whole day there!

Wonderful experience, very nice zoo with lot of facilities, its very difficult to write it as review. So I put it very simple its really superb. Its very difficult to cover everything in one day. They can think of increasing shuttle service pick up and drop locations, maps can be improved with distance between locations. Must visit place with kids.

The bronx zoo is an educational and fun place for the entire family to visit. Employees are very well trained both in park and animal knowledge. Definitely z place for the entire family to enjoy themselves. Accessible and caters to all.

Fantastic zoo! You could spend the whole day there!!!

Great family place lots to do. So many animal's. Nice 4d movie. Wild Asia monorail is great. A must to take your family

Zoo visit was wonderful.
Limits on the number of people allowed and requirement of reservations made the visit very pleasamt.
Staff was helpful and the animals were cooperative!
We saw the Madagascar, mouse house, giraffes, gorillas and the seals. Be aware that a number of exhibits are closed.
No paper maps available, but link to zoo site is provided.
Disinfection stations are copious and many paths are one way onlupook

The Bronx zoo has so many cool animals to see! Definitely worth going to. The animals you see here are different from the Central Park Zoo or Prospect Park Zoo. This place is huge so don t expect to see it all in one day. Start with the monorail and a tram
Ride around the property before you do anything else. The food court is open. The place is busier than I thought. So wear your masks for your safety and the animals.

I have always enjoyed this zoo it is amazing for the children but you will not see everything one day

It's a family friendly place, that kids & adults can enjoy

Nice and quiet in the winter. Had place to ourselves! Clean and spacious with lots of exhibits.

It's always an awesome time at The Bronx Zoo! So much to see. I always make a day of it and enjoy myself. Absolutely magnificent animals.

Great place to bring the family exploring no matter what season it is. There are always things to do at the Bronx Zoo!

Nice place for kids, you need two days to cover whole zoo

Well kept. Love the peacocks and peahens free roaming. Parking was $17 on a Monday, don't know if it's more on the weekend. Fairly large so, it will take most of the day to visit.

My daughter loves coming here. The petting zoo in the children's area is very nice.

This is the place to be. With so much to enjoy, you will not regret visiting this very special spot. I work there so I know what I am saying. You won't regret.

This zoo definitely has a lot of animals to see. We went at 11am and left at 5p and still didnt get to see the whole zoo so we have to go another day.I wish there were shows of some sort to learn more about the animals. It would have been a great way to relax from all the walking and enjoy a show with the family. The tiger exhibit was also a hit sad along with the cheetah. There was only 1 of each.I was a little disappointed about the butterfly garden. My niece had been talking about butterflies for days and we finally got to go to the garden and literally only saw 2 butterflies flying around. It was such a let down and my niece looked so sad. For a place called butterfly garden there should have been a bunch.

Very pricey for a large family but it is worth it.My Children adore going there,they look forward every summer to go

Had a wonderful time. We were lucky to see the tigers, lions and bears out in the open. The ultimate experience tickets are a bit pricey.

Note, the 4d theater experience is horrible. Al the 3d glasses are scratched and the employees are rude.

Two of my favorite Zoo! Informative and fun! The staff here are friendly! Definately a fun environment for all ages! A must visit!

The animals have very interesting reading. It.was crowded but at least everyone gets an opportunity to view whatever they wants to view. I like the fact that on a Wednesday it is free except for the amusements only a donation is needed for the care of the animals. Very good experience for the family alot of walking one will stay healthy.

CAUSE WHEN LEAVING I GOT STUCK TRYING TO LEAVE PARK THERE ARE "NO" WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY EXITS & THERE'S "NO" SIGN THAT SAY "PLEASE NOTIFY STAFFERS WHEN EXITING PARK IF YOU ARE IN WHEELCHAIR" & I ASKED IF IT'S OK FOR ME TO EXIT WITH MY SCOOTER IN THE SOUTHERN BLVD EXIT & 3 WORKERS SAID "YES" - THATS UNACCEPTABLE!

Great time... and the Holiday lights were beautiful

I love animals they have to be safe or no one could be there at the animal side

Great place to see a variety of animals! Must get the all access pass to see everything!

No better zoo anywhere!!!! Animals are happy and active and up close. Don't miss the gorillas...OMG!!

Great scenery,fun for children and adults. Entrance is free on Wednesday during the Summer. Must go early. Long lines. You should go and visit

It's hard to believe that there is a zoo in the middle of the Bronx. I love the Congo exhibit, but I don't think such intelligent animals should be confined.

exciting place recommend going with friends. going with family is great but speed run through is suggested to get the most out of the whole Zoo

A great attraction, but it needs slight renovations to some facilities such as the bird kingdom. And it should be a little more attractive imho. Otherwise great family getaway!

This was a really nice Zoo. I've been to Philadelphia and San Diego Zoo and enjoyed this one just as much!

Great zoo. The gorilla exhibit is amazing. Buy tickets online in advance. Zoo is huge so map out your day.

The Zoo is awesome!! But during the free hours on Wednesday, get there very early or be prepared to wait on the line to get in for an hour

My favorite zoo! On Wednesday it is pay what you wish donation, so you only have to pay for parking. Get ready to walk alot, since the ground is not a flat surface, it is alot of walking up and down hills. From those handicap, use a scooter or wheelchair, they are limited with rentals, so do your best to bring your own.

Always a pleasure to go. So happy they brought back the holiday light show

One of the best zoological parks visited. All the staff are very organized, friendly and helpful. The new dinosaur safari is amazing with animatronics convincingly making you believe that the dinos are real. Great place for kids and the 'kid' in the adults!! Be sure to get the total experience ticket to not miss out on any attractions.

Large zoo with large amounts of fun and variety of animals!! It is hard not to come back and it's also hard to see everything in one visit! The exhibits are nicely done and very natural, especially in the Jungle World!

I'm third grader.I give five stars because there was a lot of fun activities and we saw a lot of my favorite animals. When it's lunch time, there is a lot delicious snacks like popcorn and I hope you enjoy!

Love the zoo, it gets better each year. Get the membership its worth it

Great experience and being in the Zoo felt I'm in the mountain or jungle not in the city. It's a whole different world once you go in. Staffs are helpful. And lots of great animal exhibit

Myself, my wife and our beautiful granddaughter we had a wonderful day.

It was a great experience for the entire family. Firstly it is one of the largest zoos I have seen. It takes an entire day to visit this place. It is located in a very well wooded area and makes you feel like you are on a real animal safari. Many of the spaces where the animals are kept are open and not in cages where it is possible. There is a good food court with several options. I will have to make a few more visits to cover the entire place. I will probably visit here many times even after I cover this place.

One of the most innovative zoos in the country or in the world. Haven t been there in several years but the last time I was there, I went to Congo Gorilla Forest exhibit which I hadn t seen before and the Madagascar exhibit and of course the Wild Asia monorail which is one of the zoo s most popular attractions.

We had so much fun at this zoo! Lots to see so make sure you have your walking shoes on!

Now this is a zoo! Way better than San Diego ,Henry Doorly ,Columbus etc those zoos all have something outdated or small on their grounds this one has 0. This zoo also has a just WOW collection. With tons of great exhibits that are all spacious and naturalistic. Only problem is the decreasing of exhibits like rare animal range, world of darkness, monkey house, the skyfari, Amazing amphibians, the blesbook and Arabian Oyrex exhibit to. Not to mention hippos Sumatran rhinos and, others. Still a great zoo that is the best in the world But, there needs to be a new exhibit added sooner or later because if this keeps repeating the zoo will go to rot.

It is always entertaining and fascinating to see animals in a zoo...especially in a good condition, as this zoo seems to be.The Bronx zoo can be overwhelming, unless you have the whole day, food, and the weather allows unrushed walks. We went there on a super hot summer free -admission Wednesday and the crowd and heat chased us out after 2 hours. Even animals were hiding from this commotion
So choose cool days and plan your route wisely and the Bronx zoo will be a great adventure. Giraffes rule!

The walkways in the zoo are well planned with plenty of shade available on them during hot sunny days.
The Congo exhibit is very popular. The gorrilas are always up for entertaining visitors.
The Asia monorail is another fabulous exhibit.

Did the Tree Top adventure for my 10 year old's B-day. We had a Blast of a time climbing and zip lining right in our own back yard in the Bronx. Must do if you are adventurous

Excellent, no complaints one of the best in New York City

Lots of fun for everyone, takes more than a day to explore

A bit pricey if you're not a member but definitely a great experience with the family or friends

I took my class here for a school trip and they absolutely loved it! They had so much fun and really enjoyed themselves. It was a very enjoyable day.

Very nice zoo you must go with Family, don't forget every Wednesday general entry is free. I will suggest to purchase shuttle pass so you can cover maximum zoo as zoo is spread across 250+ acres.

Nice Zoo with several attractions. very amusing for children.

Great place, haven t been in years but still looks good. Went during the week bc of less people but still summer time they only had one or two places open for food and drinks and that was frustrating bc we had the free refill cup we got that day and unable to refill bc every stand was closed. Most animals were asleep tho :(

One of the wonderful places to spend moments with family and friends.

A fun filled place to visit with kids...a day to relax and feel close to the nature.....worth a visit

The biggest zoo in the past coast. You can spend the whole day here and still not see everything.

Great zoo. Nearest subway station needs an elevator or a ramp in a big way. 13 flights of stairs with a stroller (and no way to comment on the map item fir the station) is no fun. Crazy too that you have to venture here to activate the idnyc membership. Also a shame that is only good for the holder and no kids.

Been visiting this zoo since I was 5 years old. Kind of a trip taking my 7 year old daughter for the first time. Still a great place for kids, but be ready to shell out buku dollars. Cost $108 for me, my wife and my daughter just for the admission fee.

The zoo is one of my favorite places to go... The new dinosaur safari is cool...

A must visit if your in NYC..took away a star cause of high entrance fee

This place is always a good trip whenever in NYC. Always have a good time here

Very disappointed most animals were fakes like the alligators and snakes and in some spaces there were any type of animals. Also they advertise that on Wednesday's is free but still we're charging to be able see some real animals

Great place with great animals to see! Wmvery efficient at keeping their locations clean!

It rarely gets any better than this. Carve out an entire day and take your time. If you don't see the animals on the first run, return later in the day and you'll probably spot them. Great number of diverse animals with lots to do and see. A must if you are in NYC.

I absolutely loved it. There were soany different types of animals to see and interact with.

Nice zoo at the center of Bronx. To enjoy and see all animals, you should visit after May.

Great Zoo to visit all year round with lots of fun events such as Run for the Wild!

Love this place! Every kid should be brought here atleast once.

First time at the Bronx Zoo was wonderful. There is so much to do. So many exhibits and animals to see. There's a kids area where they can let and feed animals, great walk through exhibits, plenty to see and do. It's overall so large, which makes for a lot of walking but also keeps it from feeling overly busy even with a lot of people. Food options a clustered, so means may need to double back at lunch time.

Spectacular place to visit together with family especially for kids! You can grab some foods while watching the view and the animals around!

It is a nice space to learn about animals and nature in general, but it can get pricy (which is understandable given the work the zoo does) especially if you want Total Experience. However, if you have a IDNYC you can get general access for free. You would need to enter through Southern Boulevard to activate a complimentary annual membership.

Way Too Expensive! Plus the poor animals are not in a good habitat!

A lot of animals to see, but a good amount of the animals weren't available. None of the food places opened until after 2pm and their prices were a little high for some of the items.

V nice and good place for kids . Parents should come early because it close 5 pm .it's v big zoo and needs all day for visit. Kids zoo is v interesting. Food expensive . Bring your own food.

Our fav zoo and a great workout walking with the kids here
We love the train ride (seasonal) and the camel ride. There are mini shows that run here esp in summer that include story telling, puppet shows and short skits that are informative and entertaining for kids.. expect to have a fun day here! :)

Due to the rainy weather, we were unable to enjoy this trip to it's fullest capacity. Great place to visit.

Wear comfortable shoes. This is a huge zoo. If there is something you want to see make sure you check their website before you go. The maintain the exibits and often close exhibits temporarily for this reason. There is always a lot to see.

I go to NY multiple times a year and after watching the Bronx Zoo on animal planet, I decided to go. You will not be disappointed. Alot of walking is really the only bad thing I could say. There are alot of places to sit down to take a little rest if needed.

Awesome. The animals are in their own habitat and taken very goods care of. Wed is free admission but leave a donation.

Diversity of animals and activities to participate and enjoy.

when coming to the zoo please don't listen to map quest when coming by bus it said to get off by southern blvd , that is not right if you get off there you have to walk like -5 long blocks your better off when you see MD.Donalds,get off like on the 3rd stop ,trust me it save your kids frm getting tried before you even get in when you get off all you have to do is cross the street,trust me i live by the parking in southern blvd,enjoy your visit.
