We visited the Bronx Zoo this past weekend. We had a great time and were so impressed that we bought the membership so we can visit again and again. If you plan a trip, plan to arrive early - it gets crowded around lunch time, but if you arrive at opening you have the zoo pretty much to yourself until... more

I am always impressed when I visit the Bronx Zoo. I think it as good if not better then most of the zoos I have been to in the USA. Although exhibits such as the Butterfly Exhibit and The Congo Gorilla Forest require an extra admission, if you will, I think they are definitely worth it. Unfortunately Tiger Mountain was... more

I love animals, and I've been to the San Diego Zoo, and several zoo's in Europe but this has to be the worst zoo by far. There is no way you can drag me back to that terrible place. Not only do you have to pay an arm and a leg to get in but they actually expect you to... more

I've visited the Bronx Zoo several times, each time taking the Total Experience ticket. This option costs a little more but includes just about everything except for the camel ride. The General Admission ticket isn't the best buy. So, my advice to any and all is to take the inclusive ticket and enjoy your day. The Bronx Zoo's funding is... more

The zoo is beautiful and large. So large, that we couldn't see all that we wanted to - so plan ahead. That goes also for the procing s there are 3 types of tickets: 1. General pass 2. All-included pass 3. General + choose from included options pass. We chose #2 and weren't able to make full use of it... more

Just visited this past weekend August 15. It was a nice trip with my two young daughters 4 & 7. Definitely alot of walking and yes the exhibits are spaced out from each other. I also did the all inclusive package and got to do a few of the exhibits, butterfly, children's zoo and the bug carousel - twice. Didn't... more

Got there right after opening through bronx river gate-but once paid we drove down to Asia plaza and parked right next to that entrance so to ride the monorail. We went with the all inclusive package as we enjoyed the children's zoo and gorilla exhibit from a previous visit--the monorail was not worth the charge-unless you wanted to sit--we waited... more

At the last minutes my 2 sons and I joined my sister's family for a day at the zoo- could have spent at least another day there! The zoo is kept clean and there are a wide variety of animals. My sons (ages 8 & 5) had a great day. I would recommend that you wear sneakers or other comfortable... more
