We have went to this zoo quite a few times, as it is relatively close to our house. The Zoo is a good place to spend a few hours with the family. I don't recall the price of admission but do know it was cheaper than the Central Park Zoo and also larger. They have a very large collection of... More

Better off visiting the Bronx zoo, way better, more animals. It's fine for a quick hour or two with your kids but nothing spectacular.

Its a great zoo, nice place to hang out, especially for children, they have a petting zoo where you can go in to feed, touch the animal in their cage. and great for adults too.

Pleasant way to spend the day with children and introduce them to wildlife, even if they are in cages

Took the kids here when they were small. A little gem! We remember a good selection of animals in humane confinement.

The exhibits abound with animals and information in a comfortable indoor setting. Baby animals can be seen in a separate enclosure.

Compared to some other zoos it is good. The otters are visible indoors and out which is nice. The outdoor animals are close to spectators and peacocks walk around free.

Was a great place for your kids to meet up with freinds. Good things to see and fun for families. New things are headed to the zoo. Can't Wait!
