Huge zoo with plenty to see and do. The place is kept very clean.
Donna SalamancaAugust 9, 2015
Had so much fun with the family! Such a great place to take the family 😇
Tony TorresAugust 16, 2013
If you are parking on Southern Blvd, PLEASE remove valuables from plain sight! Your car will be broken into if thieves can quickly see what you have to take.
Simon WilsonAugust 15, 2018
Wednesdays are free entry. Wednesdays are also lllllooooonnnnnng queues.
DeeAugust 15, 2018
This is the saddest zoo I have ever been to. Small cages and sad animals (even though the park is so big that they could have made it into a paradise for them), I came out of there really depressed ;/
Kimberly AginSeptember 5, 2015
An incredible zoo - clean, fabulous petting zoo, and a staff that really seems to care.
sljSeptember 18, 2023
get the guided monorail, it is well worth the extra fee.
zman loAugust 23, 2015
Free Parking Also on Southern blvd. Just walk 1 long block across from Fordham U. Football field.
Charles B.June 9, 2015
Get there early to full enjoy everything.
Carlos GonzalezAugust 25, 2015
Great place to be a whole day being in touch with the nature and the animals
Benny BaezApril 22, 2014
The monkeys and gorillas are awesome. Definitely get there as early as possible
Christina CaroApril 4, 2014
I loved the polar bear, tiger, and giraffe exhibits
Simon KeyersOctober 15, 2014
Great zoo. buy tickets for all the attractions, it's well worth it
D'Agostino SupermarketsJanuary 31, 2012
The Bronx Zoo houses more than 6,000 animals and over 600 unique species. The zoo employs 750 full time staff each year. What a busy place!
Trevor DimmieAugust 23, 2012
No Cheetahs anymore but still a great family trip. Tiger Exhibit was great!
Dan MilanoSeptember 1, 2015
Animals are great, food is poor, security guards will hassle you if you lean back on a bench and look at the clouds.
Michael CornerstoneAugust 10, 2014
Everything! Amazing place! Staff is friendly and helpful.
Kai BrinkerApril 9, 2011
Be sure to check out the giraffes. They're probably the closest you're allowed to get to a big animal without a fence, moat, or window in the way.
Stephanie RaeApril 2, 2012
Been here 10+ times
Make sure to purchase the Total Experience Ticket That Gives You General Admission & Unlimited Rides & Attractions ( Except the Camel Ride ) :)
Andrew SAugust 12, 2015
The gorillas exhibit and polar bear are both great.
Rob KelleyNovember 15, 2009
Find the Jungle World building in the Asia section. Very low profile entrance but it's huge and amazing. End up deep down at the Jungle Waterfall room with underwater view of huge fish
Kerri AhernOctober 11, 2014

It's huge so you can spend an entire day here and the kids aren't complaining
Chris AngelinaMarch 18, 2016
Better when the weather is warmer but still good none the less.
Manos KoumantakisAugust 12, 2012
4th biggest in the world! A must-see and worth of spending a whole day or more..
BleekaluchiMarch 12, 2019

don’t feed the birds!
Melissa DarlingMay 26, 2014
The food is expensive so walk with your own but the exhibits are breath taking!
Jamie EApril 6, 2013
The gorillas may be behind glass but they were the most interactive out if all the animals. They tapped the glass at us.
Ray HApril 15, 2010
Worth visiting when in The Bronx, just don't go on Wed. because it's free and always way full on that day with less animals on display as on any other day (which one pays for) Read more
A5ma_September 24, 2018
Super crowded on Wednesdays (when the admission is for free).
K & JJune 21, 2016
Be prepared to walk & seriously stop and look around!
Nicole SobersJune 18, 2019
The treetop adventure combo is worth every penny
Chris GampatJuly 8, 2018
I still like the Queens zoo better. But the Bronx has the most animals.
Julie SosciaAugust 2, 2018
The largest zoo in NYC, best to take the train uptown.

Make sure you take the monorail to see the elephants and tiger
Christopher FredaAugust 30, 2023
My daughter loves the red pandas!

Get there early if you want to see everything, you can easily spend a whole day here :)
Paula PiccardSeptember 2, 2017
Best perk? Free Wednesday admission. Love the Bronx zoo!
Erica SJune 9, 2015
The zebras are elegant the 4d movie is always cute
Alyssa PAugust 10, 2012
A lot of walking, uneven pavement and not a lot of animals during the walk. Lots of things that should be repaired and updated and is not. Seemed like their money goes to research more than exhibits.
a blissful life.April 5, 2013
Best zoo, hands down, in NYC, and one of the best in the USA!
Rafael SulitJuly 4, 2012
Cap the trip off with a ride on the monorail. It's really cool and an exhibit in itself!
Lenny KnechtOctober 15, 2014
Go on Wednesday and pay only the full experience tickets! (14.95$ instead of 28$+14.94$)
Ernesto Martinez Jr.April 13, 2014

Coming here on a Wednesday is like walking in to welfare after 11am!!! Just don't do it lol!

The Dora 3D theater is so cute. Go see that. The whole family will enjoy.
Douglas FilterJuly 8, 2016
Natural settings for the animals. But can't tell if we are on display for the monkeys - or vice versa
Karen Lang-CuencaSeptember 7, 2015
Great place for family fun
Lawrence ChongJanuary 2, 2013
Great zoo but you have to walk through dangerous streets just to get there from subway
Steve LeVineAugust 10, 2017
