Bronx Zoo Admission Ticket

The Zoo encompasses more than 265 acres and while it may not be possible to experience it all in one trip, if you plan your day accordingly, you can visit most of the animals in a full day! We took the option to purchase the Private Cart Tour, a 60 min tour with a guide that takes you around the zoo and visits those animals you wish to see most. We were blessed to see all of the big cats, even though our tour guide said many days they are hiding in the brush or sleeping behind trees or big boulders. We also elected to book a wild encounters experience! We all enjoyed the experience and the wealth of information the keepers shared with us during the 30 min encounter! We even received a surprise visit from another animal which was unexpected, but exciting for us all and we enjoyed the experience. The Zoo is the cleanest we have all every experienced, the staff, keepers and guides were extremely friendly and helpful! The cafe was reasonably priced, considering and food was delicious. A fun and enjoyable day had by all!

The air is fresh here and the peacocks will follow you around the zoo. The tigers are curious. The seals are playful in their pool that looked like a fountain

The zoo is large, the largest in New York, but you can easily walk around it, plan a full day because closing the attractions at 17, in half a day with it would be possible to visit everything on time, for those with mobility difficulties there is an internal shuttle that connects the South Gate area with the Asian one. On Wednesdays, free admission is available (no "special" attractions l, sold separately) or discounted ticket for unlimited access to attractions, to be booked in advance (the previous Monday starting at 5pm). It is not very well connected by public transport but at the south entrance there is a bus stop.
