Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor the quietest visit, choose a weekday morning, especially in fall or winter: Bronx Zoo says cooler weather brings more active animals and fewer crowds, while spring and summer are naturally higher-attendance seasons. Bronx Zoo opens at 10:00 a.m.; in the warmer season it closes at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and 5:30 p.m. on weekends and holidays, while the colder season closes at 4:30 p.m., leaving less time for exhibits later in the day.
Price“NYC: Bronx Zoo Entry Ticket” is listed at 41.23 USD. Partner checkout totals may be higher or differ because availability, inclusions, and fees can vary, so review the final total and ticket details before paying.
DiscountsChildren aged 2 and under enter free, but they still need a date-specific ticket because all visitors must have one for admission. Free Limited Admission is available on Wednesdays with an advance reservation; eligible NYC K–12 students may also qualify for free limited admission, while discounts are available for certain military/veteran, NYC college-student, museum-member and group categories. WCS members receive free regular daytime admission, but member-only events and other ticketed programs require separate reservations.
Planning your visit
Bronx Zoo, also known as Bronx Zoological Park, WCS Bronx Zoo, and New York Zoological Park, is operated by the Wildlife Conservation Society at 2300 Southern Boulevard. A Bronx Zoo admission ticket provides entry to the park, while labels such as Timed-entry ticket, Star Attraction pass, and Total Experience ticket should be read for the attractions and access they include.
Key areas include the Wild Asia Monorail, Tiger Mountain, Himalayan Highlands, and the Madagascar! exhibit, while families often spend time in the Children's Zoo. The Baboon Reserve has rough terrain, and several exhibits involve hills, so the Southern Boulevard entrance is the recommended arrival point for visitors with mobility concerns.
The Pelham Parkway subway station connects to the Bronx River Gate through an accessible route, while the BxM11 express bus stops at the Bronx River entrance. The West Farms Square - E Tremont Av station is another subway option, and the Southern Boulevard entrance is served by local buses near Southern Boulevard and 183rd Street.
The Asia Gate parking lot is reached through Bronx River Gate and is not available year-round. Asia Gate is a pedestrian entrance with limited operating hours, so visitors using the parking area should follow staff directions to the active gate; security screening and bag checks apply before admission.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Security screening and bag searches apply at entry, so a ticket does not remove the admission checkpoint or any related queue.
- Admission is single-entry only; leaving Bronx Zoo means you cannot re-enter on the same ticket.
- The last admission cutoff is 45 minutes before closing, while some animal exhibits close earlier, so a late arrival can shorten the visit.
- Free Wednesday Limited Admission still requires an advance reserved ticket; arriving without one does not guarantee entry.
- Children aged 2 and under may enter free under the official admission policy, but they still need to be accounted for when arranging the party’s admission.
- The listed entry option has limited availability, so a last-minute purchase may not be available for the desired visit.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket, and does Bronx Zoo require a time slot?
Yes—keep your ticket PDF or mobile booking available at the entrance. Bronx Zoo requires a date-specific ticket, and the entry time printed on the ticket indicates when you may arrive; after entry, you may stay for the rest of the visit.
Can I cancel, get a refund, or move my Bronx Zoo ticket to another day?
Bronx Zoo’s official policy states that ticket sales are final, with no refunds, cancellations, or routine rescheduling. If you are buying through GetYourGuide, review that offer’s final checkout terms separately because partner conditions may differ.
Is it better to buy from the official seller or GetYourGuide?
Buy through the official channel when you want the venue’s direct ticket rules and date availability. GetYourGuide can be useful when its inventory is available, but confirm the final checkout total, ticket date, entry time, and cancellation terms before paying.
Are bags searched at Bronx Zoo, and can I bring a stroller?
Bronx Zoo reserves the right to inspect bags, packages, and containers, so allow time for admission screening. Strollers must be parked outside several indoor exhibits, including JungleWorld, Congo Gorilla Forest, Madagascar!, World of Reptiles, Mouse House, Bug Carousel, and Nature Trek; take your belongings with you because parked strollers and contents are left at your own risk.
What happens if I arrive late for my entry time?
The ticket’s printed entry time is the designated arrival window, so late admission is not guaranteed by the ticket information alone. Contact the seller before visiting if you expect to miss the stated time, and remember that Bronx Zoo tickets are single-entry with no re-entry.
Do children or free and reduced-admission visitors need tickets?
Children age 2 and under are free on the official rate schedule, while free Wednesday Limited Admission requires an advance reservation. Eligible military visitors, NYC undergraduate students, and other reduced-admission groups must follow the applicable ID or reservation rules; all visitors age 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult age 18 or older.
What is the main bottleneck inside Bronx Zoo?
The biggest time constraint is exhibit access: animal exhibits close 30 minutes before the park closes, and individual exhibit lines may close earlier when the expected wait reaches 30 minutes. Star Attractions and seasonal exhibits can also change with weather, capacity, mechanical issues, or animal-related conditions.
