Went on a hot summer Monday and there were minimal crowds. We loved seeing all of the animals. Disappointing that many kiosks were closed, but it must not be beneficial to open with such a quiet park. We will definitely be back!
Fun place to take kids. If you go more than once a year it's worth getting the yearly membership
Love it wish I had a little more time the 2 o'clock makes you feel rush to finish. Having a Membership helps a ton
Amazing place highly recommend over Central Park zoo
Amazing animals
Great food (for a zoo)
Definitely worth the drive
Brew at the zoo was a very cool experience. Pity the very limited animal exhibits were only open til 7:30. Which was only a half hour after the drinks were poured. Otherwise, the selection was very varied and well selected. Cool addition of halloween themed events and attractions. I would definitely recommend.
Come for the zoo, stay for the Bronx! Really, this place is amazing. The more dated exhibits are charming throwbacks, and the newer installations are meticulously crafted. Maybe one day they will figure out how to serve food faster in the food court - the only major drawback there.
Cool place to come with the children. I brought my children over the summer on donation Wednesdays. They had a good time. The food is very expensive so eat before you come. I paid for the experience passes for the kids, it was nice.
It's a great place to visit, just not during the winter, most of the activities and things that you want to see we're closed.
One of my happy places. Will never be disappointed.
The great thing about Bronx Zoo is that it's pay by donation on Wednesdays and the guides scattered around different exhibits are super informative. However, many outdoor exhibits were empty, so I would suggest heading into the different houses (reptile house, bird house, etc) to see more animals. The selection of animals were very interesting and unique.
Best spot to relax and enjoy the day with family. Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. Easy to navigate.
Liked the zoo specifically reptiles world. But most of the animals were not visible as they were hiding in their resting places. We and so many people like us could only hear the roar of lions as they were hiding.
I went on Wednesday entrance was free I both 2 tickets for all the attractions $14.99 each was worth it they give about 7 attractions we went to 6 of them you also can get them individually by $5 dollars each .a lot of people on Wednesday though.
Now with Covid protocols in place. People are adhering to social distancing. More of family fun atmosphere.
It was alright, better than the zoos in CT. But overall zoos, seeing animals in captivity is over hyped. Not to mention the lack of rest rooms and the poor hygiene of the few that exist. Be better off pissing in the bushes.
Great zoo with awesome animals. Many zoos have exhibits that are hard to see the animals. This one they were all easy to see but still looked comfortable for them.
Great zoo. Line was a little long to get food but overall it was a great time.
Loved seeing the animals and the conversation efforts!
We love this zoo! Our favorite exhibit is the Congo exhibit where they have the silverbacks. Amazing to watch how they interact with one another, including their babies! If you go on a Wednesday you will be able to get free general admission to the zoo, you just have to pay for certain exhibits. We paid $6 (per person) to get into the Congo exhibit. Totally worth it! Overall great experience, kids loved it, definitely recommend!
Awesome time. I've been back so many times with my family it's great. You cannot be disappointed with this zoo u less you outright hate animals
Went during the middle of the week and it was not busy at all. We were able to see a bunch but was disappointed that there were a lot of exhibits you had to pay extra for.
Fun experience. Plenty of great exhibits to see. Great atmosphere overall.
This is a good zoo. Bot not a lot of animals.
Need lot of time to explore and prepare well for long walks.
An iconic place in NYC, a treasure in the city. Old and yet relevant in today's world.
This zoo is beautiful and has some amazing animals to see. Highlights would be the sea lions and the reptile house. Admission is free on Wednesdays, so there is nothing to lose to check this place out.
A very big zoo, especially for New York. I do like how it's completely separated from the hustle and bustle of the big city. I don't know why, but when I went on Friday, all the stores were closed, which kind of sucked. But it was still good to see all the animals, stuff like the Los Angeles and San Diego Zoo don't have. Good variety. And unlike most places in New York, I wouldn't mid going here again.
Best zoo ever. Becoming a member is totally worth it, great place to take kids. Go early on a weekday before the crowds and you will be amazed by how different the animals act.
Wonderful place to share with family friends or just to enjoy yourself.
The Bronx Zoo is a phenomenal institution. The conservational work they do is far reaching, the educational initiatives are inspiring the next generation, and the facility itself is a world class attraction.
Has Exotic and rare animals that most smaller zoos don't have. Simply an amazing zoo!
We're really lucky to have a zoo such as this one. My kids have really enjoyed coming here and seeing the penguins and exotic animals.
Had a wondeful day out with the family and an easy train ride from NY
We went once a year for 3 years in a row and i miss u it!! We moved to CA but ahh this is the best zoo ever. So much to do and so much fun. Wish allnthe extras weren't so much money but it is totslly worth it!
This zoo is actually very expensive and with limited acscess to the animals plus food is not cheap too!!!
Compact enough to easily see everything in a day. Fun special events. The parent organization, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) does some great conservation work around the world.
Drove from PA just to go here. Was not disappointed!! Love the open habitats. Beautiful and clean.
Haven't been here since I was a kid. It looks a lot like I remember but a lot of new attractions. Good place for a family day out.
Always great to enjoy the outdoors and see some of nature's wonders. Great location for photos too.
We had an amazing time the kids loved it just wish we would've been able to see more of the animals but you need a separate pass to go into certain exibates
The experience there was great and all of the workers are extremely helpful and nice!
Getting in was actually just like a traffic jam on the Cross Bronx Expressway.
Also no sign posted to prepare your necessities for entrance. Poor customer service getting in long delay and only two lanes.
Always a great place to take kids. Various different animals at this zoo. The polar bear is no longer there which is sad but it's alright. The zoo is free on Wednesday! But that means schools and ir summer camps will be there. Food is expensive I'd say pack a lunch there are benches at the top of the zoo that's if you enter from the Asia Gate. Bring plenty of water ! Especially in the hotter seasons !
I can come here a million times and never get tired of this place. I finally got a membership since I come so often. Keeps the kids busy and entertained and me as well. My son loves the giraffes and adores the camel Joshua, he specifically requests to only ride Joshua. Great place and love the new climb and trek!
Great place but gets very full and to me there has not been any major upgrades looked the same since I was a child.
Loved it. Went there during the summer on a free day. It was packed but I expected that. Very nice though. Must see.
Amazing place, we became members and its worth every penny... Definetely check it out.
Great place for people of all ages. Worth the price of admission.
We went on free Wednesday and even without spending the extra money to do the extra things we filled our day.
Fantastic place to spend the day. You can almost forget that you're in the city. There is a great children's zoo that offers the opportunity for play and a terrific Nature Trek that allows kids to climb and cross bridges and explore.
The gorilla exhibit is incredible!
The guide was informative and entertaining. He pointed out the locations of various animals and also provided interesting facts about individual zoo animals. The exhibit itself has a good selection of Asian animals.
Terrific zoo for family. You can feed animals! Got great services as well.
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience here! I would definitely visit again!
Real old fashion Zoo. Wide open spaces outdoors. Great for kids with energy. Real exotic animals like giraffes, lions and grizzly bears.
Food is ripoff awful -- lots of salt, sugar and fats. No healthy food. Need to rebid caterer. Cheap food high prices. Otherwise terrific zoo. Food cost them a star.
We really enjoyed our experience at the zoo eventhough a lot of the exhibits were closed due to covid-19 precautions. Occupancy was limited which meant no crowding. There were plenty of sanitation stations available and staff cleaned equipment between uses on the carousel and monorail.
We got the unlimited ticket, only $15 on Wednesday, and loved the special attractions we got into.
Lots of cute animals! Don t go in the winter if you want to see lots of animals. One bad thing is the smell.
This is a fabulous zoo!! I had never been here before and it was a real treat. Be aware that if you get the most basic ticket it doesn't get you into all the cool extra things. You can buy a ticket that includes everything and that's what we did. The monorail was really awesome. The exhibits were all really well done except for the giraffe exhibit. They had 6 in a small indoor enclosure, I'm hoping they had an outdoor area and we just missed it. But all the other exhibits were fantastic. If you're in the area I definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out!! Food is reasonable price, alcohol is available. Great trip and you'll easily spend all day there!
Nice family hang out bit make sure u wear a comfy sneaker cuz you gonna walk a lot
Loved it! It's really big so plane for a whole day.
great for kiddos! so much fun feeding the goats, sheep and alpacas!
One of the most authentic zoo experiences you'll find anywhere. Loved the monorail tour, the gorilla exhibit was top notch and the grizzly bears were impressive too. Great option for multigenerational families, literally something for all ages here.
This was the 1st time that I've been to Boo at the Zoo. What an absolutely amazing day
The Bronx Zoo is beautiful! Their Congo exhibit is amazing! So worth the visit.
Its may cost to enter but the best days are Monday's no one there zoo is calm
The zoo itself is huge and have a variety of wildlife to experience. Do not miss Sea Lions, Monorail, Congo Gorilla. Also, it's REALLY easy to find street parking within 500 feet if you arrive early during the weekend to save $16 zoo parking.
Things I disliked for which I had to rate it with 3 starts:
1. The shuttle does not really help since it operates only at 2 or 3 stops. It can be a long walk to reach to nearest pick-up station
2. The animals viewing areas were too high for the kids and one had to lift children up for height advantage.
A great all day experience. My son loved it! It's big enough that you should plan ahead of time what you want to see and map it before hand.
One of my favorite places in the world. I love all the animals and the staff is very nice to me and my family. Some things are expensive but if you eat beforehand you won't have to eat their overpriced food food!
Great place for the kids! My boys had a great time. Will be going back soon!
It was amazing the animals were soo cuteee and I love animals so seeing them was so cool
It was awesome my 2 1/2 year old daughter loved every bit of it she was so happy. Made my day to see my daughter so happy she was exhausted when we left she was asleep in 2min.
Great place and trying to do their best of a bad situation. Unfortunately we have selfish people who have no regards for other and is all about them.
