Bronx zoo Reviews

So much fun except we couldn't see the Dinosaur Exhibit because we were not members even though we purchased the All Access Passes.

It was a nice experience. The animals are well taken careoff. Loved the gorilas. Felt that there was not much enthusiasm amongst the zoo personal as all their resting areas and restaurants where closed. Got a little tired towards the end as Did get lost since not many signs or personal guiding you. May be some improvement in that area would help.

If you have time you should always come to the Bronx Zoo one of the best values in the city

I never get to see the red pandas. But this one time, I got chased by some bird that escaped from their sanctuary. That's what I get for following the cute chub. Fun times. 10/10 would recommend.

The Zionist a great place for some family time. Some walking, some learning, and quality time well shared.

Very impressed with how seriously the staff took the safety and health of others .

great place for the family, animals seem well taken care of, food is not so great but that's the usual in these places, they have a Halloween fest every year with lots and lots of activities make sure you are there early in the morning or you wont have time to see it all, its so much fun,face painting, pumpkin carving, etc overall five stars.

Great exhibits and lots of cute and interesting animals!

Went on the 10th. Everyone was great. We all wore mask. You couldn t make a turn without disinfectant areas in the park. Bravo to the staff.

great zoo and that comes from an adult who hate zoos.
Try to avoid weekends since it becomes paaaacked.
it has a not bad restaurants and educative activities for kids.

Great place for families and individuals that love nature

Fun time but needs more places that sell water, vending machines or something in the heat..

Nice place to visit in Nyc also on wednesday entrance is free.

It's always a pleasure to come back to the Bronx zoo with the whole family...

Can't believe this exists in New York! One of the great secrets, absolutely amazing!

Cold weather affected seeing some animals but under right condition a very nice place

Very fun trip cool to see all the animals saw ex-wife there, in a cage with the gorillas take the L, Karen

Great place to walk around and see so many animals.

We returned after the latest reopening. As beautiful as ever. Super friendly and clean!

It was a very nice zoo. Nice display of animals. The zoo was very clean and the staff was helpful. The animals appeared to be well taken care of. The only thing that I would recommend is more signs for parking to the lot. We were able to park on the street but almost got a parking ticket.

Overall, it was a great day trip. They say it is recommended 2 days to see everything, but we comfortably did it in one day.

Huge zoo! Did just about everything there and was a little disappointed in the dinosaur tour they had. It was less than 5 minutes. Luckily I got my tickets through work for a discounted price and it covered the cost of all of the extra things to do there.

Step away from the daily rush and crush to research and marvel at how much activity around us we don't see or notice. A very relaxing space, nicely appointed

Great place to take the kids and they are free on Wednesdays

This Zoo is just phenomenal. It is easy to navigate around, covered in trees so it didn t feel hot even when it was 96 degrees outside, very clean, has lots of restrooms and food spots and so on. The place is beautiful and the animals look happy. Really enjoy my time when I m here. Thanks to everyone who takes care of the animals and keeps this place the way it is.

Been going there for over 65 years!! A classic. Never dissapoints. Great organization.

Entrance is free for NYC ID holders. Not that crowded on a summer Sunday. Very helpful signs and great family fun. The entrance fee is on the pricey side.

The children's zoo is so ooooo amazing for everyone!!!

Love this zoo every year they have new things they have a rip line and a 4 D movie.

The WCS runs one of the best zoos in the country here. Come early, because there's a lot to see. Wednesdays, general admission is free. There are several ticketed attractions and exhibits throughout the park. The monorail is definitely worth a visit, and the Congo is a must-have experience.

Absolutely loved it. Got a stuffie animal. You really learn more about the creatures habitat

We love this zoo! I don t really know why we don t come more often. It s quite large and pretty well maintained. The grounds are pretty to walk around in in the Spring.

It can be quite expensive to visit but if you do some research there are ways to get discount on tickets. We got discounted tickets by signing up for a free membership through the IDNYC program. If you are a IDNYC card holder, you can sign up for a free one year membership. The membership gets you free admission and you can add on the Total experience package for discounted price of $17.

The Total Experience package gives you access to all of the add on attractions like the Butterfly Conservatory, Bug Carousel, the 4D theater, the Wild Asia Monorail and others. Otherwise, they cost an additional $6 each if you have an admission ticket.

The Wild Asia monorail was one of my favorite parts of the visit. It felt wonderful to just sit back and listen to the tour guide after walking all day. Every seat on the monorail has great views and the ride is approximately 20 minutes long. Another recommendation is the Dinosaur Safari which is only offered seasonally. It is a narrated ride through a small section of the zoo where they feature animatronic, life sized dinosaurs. My nephew, who is a dinosaur fan, loved this ride. The ride is only about 15 minutes long. During warmer weather, you can pay extra to ride the camels. Children ages 3 and above can ride. Also, they often have special events like Boo at Zoo or Holiday Lights.



Like I said, the zoo is huge and there s no way you can fit everything in one visit. We will definitely be back.

Tip: get a free membership when you show your IDNYC id card.

Tip2: every Wednesday is free to enter

Tip3: undergrad students who are enrolled in a NYC college gets free general admission when they show their student ID.

I dont know if it was donation day or because of all the summer camps there..It was too crowded,i entered some of the buildings and turned right around.

I love coming to the zoo to learn about the animals. I usually stay behind learning facts that are posted. It definitely get super crowded on Wednesdays. So be prepared

My most memorable times was spending time with family and friends at the zoo.

Visited NY with my 2 daughters from scotland and spent the day in the bronx and also went too the zoo..brilliant time we had..

Overall I had a nice day my kids enjoyed them self lots of walking but fun trip.....

Love the zoo. Visited for the first time in many years and I could see that though some stuff has changed not everything has. Brought me back to my childhood days when I used to go.

Great experience! So much fun. Beautiful buildings and exhibits! Can't wait to go back

Unless you like hysterical children, you'll want to go on a cold, rainy day, when you have the huge place basically to yourself. If you manage that it is a quite extraordinary experience. I have seen better curated zoos, but not in the US.

Really recommend to buy the membership so you can benefit from all the activities and options

So pretty much they put way less work into the Halloween event then last year.More stingy with the candy trail and told people the amount of candy they can get. Making the children count it so it took really long to get through the 4 or 5 stations they offered.The parade I liked but everything just looked and felt half way done...I guess to me it just felt like this event was done at last minute...

Absolutely the most beautiful place I have been to people visiting the Bronx on tour or whatever must visit this park

Keep ur walking shoes ready...its big...loved the experience...well mantained...some many animals birds

It was a great experience. I believe some of the exhibits were closed due to Covid-19 which sucked but its understandable if so.

The best zoo ! Lots of fun for kids! Bigger space!! And convenient with parking!!

Clean, amazing zoo. A little pricey for families that work for their money, but good for entire family.

What a huge zoo. I like the raccoons. The monkeys are very entertaining. The gift shop is nice. I have fun here.

Amazing experience. Expensive, but very well designed for both a "exotic animal" experience, but also an outdoor, naturalistic feel. Requires a good deal of walking and many features cost additional money. Long and wide paths do make it feel less crowded. Wish we could go more often! I hear it's free on Wednesdays?

so beautiful!! clean, and well kept. cant wait to go back soon!

Great variety of exhibits, beautiful grounds. Prepare to walk - and pay - A LOT.

I had a great experience, it was a little overwhelming at first since it was our first time there and the place is huge.

The Bronx Zoo is the perfect day away with the family. It's clean, the staff is really friendly staff.

I'm not a big fan of the zoo but the full experience is the way to go. My kids had a blast!!

I always love the Bronx zoo. The camel ride however was closed, which is why went.

Best zoo in the world it is runned by the Wildlife Conservation Society and they not only have animals in exhibits for people to look at they use them as conservation story to protect species in the Wild.

Very good environment even in the pandemic. You have to make an appointment and there's a limit visitors. They have done Well maintained. This is my 9th visit and no complaint. Thank you for your good services.

The Bronx Zoo is a gem in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Bronx. There's plenty of parking, just be patient during the busy times of year. Also, be careful which day you visit on and check their website. They open the doors free of charge on certain days and it can get to be a zoo in there (I had to). Beyond that there a dozens of activities to keep the whole family entertained.

Love the Bronx Zoo. I didnt see so many animals most of them were asleep or out of sight

Bravo....such a good place to enjoy your weekend with family and friends. Try zip line also. I did it was a fun

Really good zoo. Great to see after watching TV show.

We belong to the wcw and enjoy going to the zoo for all the seasons.

Loved it ! Most go on the monorail beautiful views of the entire zoo & animals. You need an entire day to see all animals & attractions so go early .

Ive been around the zoo block but this zoo is definitely something special. Its huge so go with time and good shoes.

Love the Bronx Zoo. Don't miss the sea lion and penguin feedings!

Even though some spots were closed was still a great time I want to go back when I can see the monkeys and elephants

At the time I was on a school trip with my son who lives in Jersey City NJ, the trip felt very short so we couldn't see a lot of the animals, I did enjoy what I was able to see.
