Bronx Zoo Tickets

About this experience

Bronx Zoo Tickets: Entry to New York's Largest Zoo Bronx Zoo tickets give you a full day of entry to the largest urban zoo in the United States, with more than 6,000 animals from hundreds of species spread across 265 acres of woodland in the Bronx. You choose your visit date and entry time when you book, the mobile ticket arrives by email straight away, and once inside you can explore at your own pace from gorillas and tigers to snow leopards and red pandas. Your ticket also covers unlimited access to the Zoo Shuttle, Butterfly Garden, Children's Zoo and Wild Asia Monorail on days when they are running. Book ahead for weekends and school holidays, when the zoo is at its busiest. What to see at the Bronx Zoo Congo Gorilla Forest, a rainforest habitat where western lowland gorillas live in family groups alongside other primates Tiger Mountain and the Himalayan Highlands, home to big cats, snow leopards and red pandas Wild Asia Monorail, a narrated ride above open habitats with elephants and other Asian wildlife JungleWorld, an indoor tropical forest, plus Madagascar and the African Plains with lions and zebras Butterfly Garden, Children's Zoo with farmyard animals, Nature Trek trails and the Bug Carousel for younger visitors Zookeepers run feeding sessions and short talks through the day, so it is worth checking the daily schedule when you arrive. The zoo shares Bronx Park with the New York Botanical Garden, so you can pair your visit with New York Botanical Garden tickets on the same trip.

Bronx Zoo hours, getting there and how long to spend The Bronx Zoo is at 2300 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10460, in the north of New York City. It is easy to reach by subway and local bus from Manhattan, or by car, but parking is not included with your ticket. Show your mobile ticket with a valid photo ID at the entrance, and arrive about 15 minutes before your chosen entry time. The zoo is open all year and typically opens at 10:00, with closing times that change with the season and the weather. The Children's Zoo, Butterfly Garden, Wild Asia Monorail, Zoo Shuttle and Budgie Landing are seasonal and are generally closed from November to March, so plan a spring, summer or early autumn visit if those are on your list. Most visitors spend at least half a day here, and families often stay for the whole day. Tips for visiting the Bronx Zoo with VervTrip Wear comfortable shoes, dress for the weather and bring a refillable water bottle, as most of the visit is outdoors and the grounds are large. Small personal snacks are allowed and there are places to eat on site, but outside alcohol, large coolers and pets are not permitted (service animals are welcome). Most paths are wide and paved, accessible restrooms are spread across the zoo, and wheelchairs and strollers can be rented on site, subject to availability. This ticket is non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, so check your date before you book. Planning more of New York?
