💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Plan your visit for peak hours (weekends/afternoons) when all exhibits are open. Weekday visits may have limited exhibit access and fewer food/beverage options available, so consider this when booking tickets or ask about discounted rates for non-peak hours.
• 💡Arrive at least 30 minutes before park closing time to view exhibits, as last entry is 30 minutes prior to park closing. Download the Bronx Zoo app or check bronxzoo.com/today for real-time exhibit status and interactive directions before and during your visit.
• 💡Plan 3+ hours to explore the expansive grounds thoroughly. The zoo is large with many exhibits spread across different areas, so use the interactive map app to prioritize exhibits and avoid backtracking.
• 🕐Visit in spring to see seasonal baby animals including collared lemurs, geladas, pygmy slow lorises, and nyalas. New animal exhibits including aardvarks and chameleon pairs also provide fresh viewing opportunities.
• 💡Don't miss standout exhibits like the sea lions, lemur house, and great plains area (lions, zebras, ostriches, giraffes). Ask staff about keeper talks and feeding times to enhance your educational experience with expert insights.
