💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Plan to arrive by 3pm to maximize your visit - last zoo entry is 4pm, and the train/carousel operate until 5pm (last ticket 4:45pm), giving you time to explore and ride the train before closing.
• 💡The Bergen County Zoo offers reasonable admission prices and stays clean with knowledgeable staff. Consider visiting during off-season when crowds are lighter, though note that some animal habitats may be temporarily closed.
• 💡Don't miss the train ride that circles the zoo - it's a paid attraction but highly recommended by visitors. Also look for the art installations throughout the grounds, which add an interactive element to your visit.
• 💡The zoo features interactive elements and a train suitable for both kids and adults. Plan at least a few hours for a comfortable stroll through the zoo and to experience the train ride without rushing.
• 💡Check the zoo's calendar before visiting - the Education & Discovery Center may close for private programs, and note that railroad maintenance is scheduled for April 27-29.
