💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Use bronxzoo.com/today on your smartphone for real-time animal locations and an interactive map to navigate the large zoo efficiently and plan your route to see the African lions and other exhibits.
• 🕐Plan your visit between March 31 and November 3 when animals are visible outside. Avoid visiting during winter months when outdoor viewing is limited.
• 💡Bring a picnic or eat before arriving—food prices are high and quality is limited. The family picnic areas are ideal for bringing your own meals, and you'll enjoy the experience more than relying on zoo food vendors.
• 💡The zoo is excellent for very young children (even toddlers 1+ years old enjoy it). The train ride is a highlight, and kids love hearing the lions roar and identifying animal sounds—plan at least a full day for the experience.
• 💡If you visit frequently, purchase a membership to skip entrance fees and parking costs—the ROI is strong for regular visitors, and members get priority access to special spring programming featuring baby animals.
