Metropolitan zoo with 265 acres that harbors 10,000 animals in replicas of their native habitats.
This is such a fun zoo! We were able to see almost everything however I do wish we had 2 days to really enjoy the entire zoo. The layout is great, plenty of room to maneuver strollers or wagons, restrooms were very clean. The animals were all so fun to observe and for the first time ever I enjoyed a reptile exhibit. Parking is $20 so not bad at all, the monorail is included in your ticket however we did have to pay $5/person to feed the birds. It was well worth it based on our experience. AAA does offer discount tickets if you are a member and all tickets (AAA or not) must be purchased in advance.
Had the best time. I highly suggest getting the VIP tour. It was $160 for an hour for a tour guide driving you to animal exhibits. Ricky was our tour guide and he was amazing. I would do it again and request him. So knowledgeable and funny. First time at the Bronx Zoo and I feel in love with it. I can't wait to visit again.
An extremely fun all-day activity! I recommend going on a day when it's not too sunny and on a weekday to avoid larger crowds! If you go you should visit the budgie landing ( $5 per person) there you can feed birds! Also, you must take a ride on the monorail rail!
We visited the zoo at a weekend. I am with my family along with my friends family. We have annual pass(220dollars) which allows free entrance for up to seven people, unlimited entrees.
The zoo is amazing. I especially loved the butterfly zone. It is a huge green house where butterflies are everywhere, all around you. The mouse exhibition is also better than I expected: I thought it to be scary, but it turned out to be super interesting.
Food here is not overpriced and the ice cream tastes great.
I strongly recommend the annual pass.

Ok, hear me out... The zoo is beautiful. But get ready to walk a lot. Bring snacks and drinks for the family because inside the food it's pricey!
Wednesdays are free, yes. BUT not all. To see the nicer animals like tigers and the train tour you have to pay extra. (There're two places that you have to pay separately). The extra is $16 something.
The rest of the days it's regular price.
Go early, around opening time. It won't be so crowded and you'll be able to enjoy it more.

Amazing zoo. It’s probably the best zoo I’ve been to. The animals seem relaxed and the whole zoo had a sense of space and privacy. Plenty of shade as we walked around. Canteen was reasonable and free water. Lots of interactive things for kids to do. Easily spend the whole day here. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend.
A great place to go for a day out with friends or family. Bronx Zoo was loads of fun. My favorite part was the Reptile enclosure. It was genuinely fantastic and fun. I can't wait to go back again! Definitely an all-day thing, and we still didn't see everything. But 100% recommend it.
A wonderful zoo with so many beautiful animals. This zoo is huge and there is a lot of walking around from animal to animal sometimes but it’s a gorgeous space to enjoy a brisk walk. All the animals are fabulous and there are so many species to see it is sure to delight all ages. The monorail is especially cool and the guides on them are wonderful. A really fantastic trip to take while you are in NYC.
