This is a very cute little zoo. Emphasis on little but for the price, it’s worth it. If you’re not going with children or anyone who walks slower, you’ll probably get through both sides of the zoo in less than 2 hours. You have to order your tickets in advance online. The petting zoo is so cute! The plus to this zoo is that because it’s smaller, less people were there for a Saturday over the summer so you got a nice view of all the animals. The downside was they don’t have a large variety of animals and about some of the animals weren’t in their section like the Bear.
On Friday I chose to take my 5 year old here on a whim. It's not too far to travel. The online process to buy the tickets was quick. Once you get there, they scan the QR code from your tickets and you can walk straight in at the gate. If you buy their mask, you have to go to the window to get them, so we had to wait a couple of minutes on line. There's not a whole lot of animals, but there was still enough to see that my child was entertained. There is a gift shop and a little area to sit and eat, with a food truck we didn't get anything, I btought our own snacks. There's also a little kiddie park outside the zoo with a carousel and some rides, but you need to buy tickets at the entry to be able to get on those rides. Also, bring quarters for the petting zoo! The animal snacks are in gumball machines. Overall, it was a nice Saturday afternoon outside.
Great family outing for a couple of hours. Staff are courteous. Zoo is clean and its an easy circuit around the zoo to the to each exhibit. Great for toddlers up to tweens. Getting there is tricky, if driving could be hard to find street parking. We took the subway, so not sure if there is public parking in the park. Public transportation is better but its a 10 to 15 minute walk to the Zoo from the subway. Enjoy!
Zoo is fantastic as always, they even have one of the robotic dinosaurs inside promoting the full exhibit at the Bronx zoo. Feeding the animals is always a kid hit especially with the little carnival that sits right outside the zoo and it's inexpensive. If that's not enough you can walk through the park which is beautiful in itself.
Took our 4 yr old here for his birthday. He loved it even though he kept asking where the monkeys were. The Aviary with all the birds was a sight. I did not like how poorly the Bisons looked. The sea lions were happy enough but seemed to need more room. Overall the zoo was very clean lots of room so as not to be on top of anyone.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10
Nice place to spend time and look for a fresh air outside. Everything is maintained, friendly staff and some of them stay and willing to explain in every turn when you walking through a specific animals which I appreciate that. 3 big sea lions welcomed us excitedly in a quite big pond, across the food trucks. The aviary flashed me back to Garden by the bay in Sg which I love. But I have more concern with 1 skinny Puma that I assumed he was starving by the way he leaked my Son off of a glass window. Birds, and animals farm snacks are ready in gumball machine for quarter dollar. One same online ticket can enter the Farm across but not to enter the Kiddie park. Overall my son was entertained
It's adorable. We were looking for something low impact and fun to do outdoors, and this place did that just fine. The petting zoo on the other side was a nice addition. They get 3 stars because I twisted my ankle in the bridge in the aviary. There is a smooth patch on the bridge where the rough gravel has worn off, I guess. I thought I was fine after it happened, so I didn't alert anyone, but now, 5 days later, I'm having moderate pain in that foot. So be careful on the bridge in the aviary, and hopefully they see this review and fix it before someone else gets seriously hurt. Picture of the bridge attached. We also saw practically no birds in there, which was a little disappointing.
Great “starter” zoo for little ones. There are two separate parts of the zoo - a domestic animals petting section and a traditional zoo with mostly small to medium animals. They also have the Sea Lion feeding schedule right outside the main zoo entrance so you can plan accordingly. We have a one year old and can get through everything generously in an hour with the Sea Lion feeding. There is also free parking and a small carnival next door. It’s a nice family morning or afternoon out. If you have very small kids I would recommend coming here to introduce them to zoo animals and work their way up to bigger experiences like the Bronx Zoo.
Nice and big lay out, not many animals though. Lots of exhibits but very few animals. Also eat before coming here because the food vendor truck vendor is super expensive and took me 20min for a hot dog. Very nice to take a stroll through and it’s not expensive to enter. Free parking is also available. You get a real sense of nature.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
If you're gonna come by car be prepared to walk miles, lol. Bring at least two water bottles because the walk through the zoo and back to the parking lot is a workout! It was really fun coming here. I got lost and ended up finding a really beautiful field.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10
