New York · ZOOS
The good zoo visits fill weeks ahead in New York and the best go first. Below are the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Explore the 265-acre Bronx Zoo at your own pace with a mobile admission ticket. See more than 10,000 animals, including at Congo Gorilla Forest and JungleWorld, then make time for the Butterfly Garden, Children’s Zoo, and rides. Plan around animal exhibits closing at 4 PM, and allow plenty of time for walking.
“The zoo was fun. My kids had a great time. We had to rent a stroller( its a must). But the place was great”
Spend about one to two hours at Central Park Zoo, exploring the Tropic Zone, Temperate Territory and Polar Circle. See animals such as penguins, sea lions, snow leopards and titi monkeys, then visit the Tisch Children’s Zoo or catch a short 4-D theater program. Admission is $22.95 per person, with a mobile ticket.
“Penguins, puffins AND grisly bears plus a cool tropical aviary made this zoo unique. Small but mighty is what I call it. Take your below 12-year old kids and grandkids here for a fun afternoon experience! The staff is super friendly too.”
Spend a day at Manhattan’s compact Central Park Zoo, with entry to the Tropic Zone, Temperate Territory, Polar Circle, and Tisch Children’s Zoo. Look for snow leopards, grizzly bears, penguins, sea lions, and tropical wildlife. Your ticket also includes one 4-D admission. Food and shopping are available to purchase.

This one-day Bronx Zoo ticket covers entry to a 265-acre wildlife park with more than 11,000 animals from over 640 species. Explore the Congo Gorilla Forest, Tiger Mountain, World of Birds, and more. Seasonal attractions include the Wild Asia Monorail and Butterfly Garden. No guide is specified, so plan your own route.
Start outside Federal Hall with an English-speaking local guide, then walk through Lower Manhattan, the 9/11 Memorial area, Five Points, Chinatown, and Little Italy before finishing near the Flatiron Building. Your zoo ticket is included, but you continue to Central Park Zoo on your own. Plan for about five hours, with possible subway travel.
“Prachtige wandeling gedaan met topgids Max! Zeker een aanrader om de stad te ontdekken en leuke tips en weetjes mee te krijgen. Central Park Zoo is wel vrij klein dus geen must om te doen. De anderen van de groep deden nog verder met de wandeling toen wij de metro namen naar Central Park Zoo.”
Pick a skyline, a ferry or a neighborhood.
