Customer Reviews

I had a fantastic time exploring the zoo. With so much to see and do, two days would be ideal to truly appreciate everything. Although I managed to see everything in one day, I felt rushed through some exhibits. The food was decent, as expected in a zoo setting. Overall, this is a wonderful zoo that I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't visited yet."

The Bronx Zoo is a fantastic place to experience and appreciate wildlife up close. During our visit, we had the pleasure of seeing an incredible variety of animals and birds. Each exhibit was thoughtfully designed, giving us a great view while ensuring that the animals weren’t disturbed. Some of the highlights included the butterfly room, where we were surrounded by beautiful butterflies fluttering freely. It was such a peaceful and enchanting experience! The monorail was definitely a standout part of the visit—it allowed us to view the animals from a unique perspective, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy the wildlife in a way that felt respectful to the animals. One of the surprises was seeing peacocks walking around the zoo grounds. This was such a treat, especially for the kids, as it added a special touch of nature right in front of us. Overall, the Bronx Zoo offers a wonderful blend of education, conservation, and family fun. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area!

We had the perfect day at the Bronx Zoo! Everything was so well-organized, the animals were incredible to see up close, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, making it a great experience for both adults and kids. We especially loved the Gorilla Forest and the Butterfly Garden. The zoo is clean, easy to navigate, and there’s so much to do that we didn’t even get to see everything. We’ll definitely be returning for another visit soon. Highly recommend this zoo to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly day out!

We had an amazing time visiting the Bronx Zoo! We spent 5 hours there and still didn’t get to see all the animals! It was really fun to see the animals active in their habitats. We also rode the monorail which was very informative. Our favorite animals to see were the gorillas and all the different monkey species! We brought our own food and ate inside the zoo. The bathrooms were clean. We will definitely be coming back!

So amazing and beautiful. The complex is nice and clean all the time. Animals looks in a good shape and you can see them while eating and walking. Such a nice day and a magic one. Highly recommended for families and children. Be prepare for long walking distance and a good shoe is a must to have.
