Great place for kids, a lot of funny activities and close connection to the animals.And good coffee and cheeseburgers spot near entrance to Childrens Zoo
Me and my children enjoyed it all.
I love this place. Wanna feel like a kid all over again.? Come to the Bronx Zoo, its a magical kind of place.
Lovely place for kids and adults. LOVE this zoo! My favorite place to take friends and family of all ages. 100% a full day trip so make sure to get there early if you want to see everything. Make sure you buy the full experience tickets also because it is so so worth it. The tickets include my personal favorite: the gorillas!!! There is no “exhibit” like this that I have seen at any zoo I have visited. It is more of an all inclusive experience as you feel like you are walking through the Congo before you get to the main gorilla exhibit, which is massive. The experience tickets also include another favorite of mine which is the Children’s Zoo but is really for all ages. You see more basic animals in this exhibit but there are fun ways to experience the animals such as the prairie dogs exhibit where you can poke your head up and see them up close. There are tons of other photo ops along the way, including a “spider web” which kids climb on and other fun play areas including a slide for kids. Next, you enter a farm area where (of course) you get to feed the animals! Of course the children’s zoo is more catered towards kids but it’s fun for all ages.I had a great experience, it was a little overwhelming at first since it was our first time there and the place is huge.
Lots of fun for the kids and allows them to engage and feed the animals!
The Children’s Zoo is one of the beautiful places in the zoo! Definitely recommend for kids and adults. You are able to feed the bay goats and others with just .50 cents. This is a total experience exhibit, you need a ticket that says “Total Experience” or you can also purchase a ticket on site if you didn’t get the Total Experience. Definitely recommend they have fun activities inside for the kids.
Zoo is very nice for my kids
Wonderful day trip with family, school or alone!!! Enjoy nature, animals and a good spirit.
Chief the Turkey. Keeping order at the childrens petting zoo. All humans had on mask and social distancing was being implemented
My daughter really enjoyed seeing the animals but she was too fearful to feed them. She is only 2.5. Its perfect for toddlers and young kids!
It was good, but some parts seemed like they would be better in other areas. For example, even though a rabbit technically isnt a rodent, it probably should have been put into the mouse house(which is more of just a rodent area). The petting zoo portion was amazing. They even have food dispensers(which are kind of like gumball machines) where you can get little snacks to give to the animals. Its was great for my 3 year old cousin, not for older kids and/or adults, being that is designed for kids.
Kids love to feed the animals. Bring plenty of quarters or small bills to buy the food. There is a change machine that accepts $1s and $5s.
Large space with petting zoo where kids and grown up can feed animals. Lots of Black Crown Herons. Ant Eater exhibition is also great. Flamingos in a small lake also attract a lot of attention from the kids. Owls are always a great attraction for kids reading Harry Potter.
Great place to feed the animals and let the kids run alittle more free.
This part of The Bronx Zoo is an extra fee or part of the all inclusive ticket. But it was a great way to get really close to some animals. and its more confined so I could let the kids explore a bit.
Unfortunately due to covid most interactive exhibits are closed (slides, spider web, etc) but you can still feed the animals
This is the best Zoo for your children. Its being strategically develop for kids to have fun. You and your children will love it. It also safe for all ages of kids.
Always a gteat experience for the kids. The exhibit is clean and well kept. The petting zoo animals appear to be well attended.
Awesome!!! Worth the wait- lines long but moves. One stop shop for sooooo many exhibits.
Thursday mid-day. Short lines. Accomodating and patient staff. Kids had a great time.
Great place. Cant wait to take my family back there again. Lines are a bit longer over the weekend just FYI have some time on your hand!
Cute animals fun to pet. Had cows pigs and sheep. Hopefully people will be with these animals and decide not to hurt them in the future by not eating them or not wearing their wool.
Kids always love this place
A staple in the Bronx and NYC as a whole. Great place to spend time with the kids, there are always activities going on. Knowledgeable staff and friendly environment.
Free and Wednesday’s but pay for the upgrade because you want to be able to see it all. Beautiful park to just take a stroll through.
There is a petting zoo where children can feed farm animals. The feed pellets are dispensed via coin-operated machines and requires 2 quarters each time.
My daughter loves this place. There are so many activities for them to do so I just pretending to be a prairie dog and climbing a spiders web
Every year my granddaughter and I visit the Childrens Zoo. I enjoy her face experiencing every time she sees the animals! Thanks

Grandkids loved climbing and interacting
This is the best part of the zoo for toddler! Mine had a lot of fun! This is the must go place in the zoo.
There are a good amount of animals to pet; Goats, sheep, alpacas, cows, donkeys. Different types of birds, some which roam around.
All the animals were well behaved and hungry to be fed and petted by the children 🤗 Everyone waited their turns patiently without tantrums, a nice surprise!
Great for kids: See the world out of the perspective of a prairie dog, explore animal senses with your kids and feed farm animals (50cents)
Nice people good place to take your children animals are very friendly. Change machine is there and you can buy animal feed
My daughter loves it. She is a animal lover. She is able to pet and feed the animals.
Amazing place perfect for the kids just gets busy
Daughter loved it and enjoyed feeding the animals.
My daughter loved it. A little crowded at times where the walkway narrows and this made it difficult to navigate with a stroller.

2021-10-24Fun and educational place to bring kids. It was very interactive for the little ones including a petting zoo of farm animals. There were different varieties of animals and the flamengo/duck pond was very nice too.
