This was a great little stop for our family to stretch and get some fresh air. Even though the parking lot was packed, we were able to get through the zoo without feeling crowded. We never had to worry about being able to get close to the exhibits for pictures which was wonderful. We will keep this stop in mind...

Do you want to take your kids to the zoo, but are leery of massive lines, unruly mobs and tired feet? If so, then the Beardsley Zoo is the place for you. Located conveniently near the intersection of Rte 15 and 8 in Bridgeport CT, the zoo has just enough attractions to make it extremely enjoyable, while being small enough...

Bridgeport's gem of a park with the added attraction of a zoo! No hassles with parking, there's plenty and the quiet serenity of the park is absolutely wonderful! I don't want to say too much about it, I don't want crowds to come and change it! No, really, come and enjoy!

The sites were great and the facts were interesting. However, I HIGHLY recommend you DO NOT eat at the cafe they have there. The service was horrible. We waited 45 minutes for 2 cheese burgers and an order of chicken tenders. Other people who ordered much later than us recieved their food before us. We were not happy about that....

BZ is not the same experience as the Bronx or National Zoo, but with young children, it's close and manageable.

It was so sad at one point they hardly had any animals left but it has come back nicely. The otters and prarie dogs are my favorite. But the tigers are beautiful too. I like the new Bald Eagle exhibit tool

Went with my husband and our 3 kids. 4 year old, 2 year old and infant. This zoo is perfect for kids that age. You can see all the animals in several hours. The playground is lackluster but I guess you don't come to a zoo for a playground anyway. Great way to spend the day with the family.

Nice small zoo where you can spend the day walking around and not feel crowded. Lots of activities for the kids and adult. Great exhibits.

This was a great day trip from our hotel for the kids. I have an 8 and 5 year old. The zoo was just big enough for them to have fun without getting tired. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly. We are members of our local zoo here in NJ and they honor a reciprocal so...
