This is one of the classic zoos in New York. This zoo is relatively small when compared to other zoos like the Bronx Zoo; however, they have a lot of diversity when it comes to animal exhibits that can be visited. Plenty of exhibits to visit, and a lot of walking, so it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes and water. It's possible to see everything in the zoo in 2 to 3 hrs. Overall, a casual and fun atmosphere throughout the zoo.

Bathrooms are available throughout the zoo. There is a non-kosher cafe in the zoo that has some vegan options. Expect to pay around $25 for admission, and it's recommended to purchase a ticket online beforehand, as each ticket is for a certain time slot. You can find street parking nearby, but it can be difficult to find as the day goes on. There are also nearby parking garages where you will need to pay a fee of $50 to park.
