Awesome place took my son to see the sea lion feeding at 2pm. Everything was great but the food truck ran out of most things by 2:30pm. I recommend bringing your own snacks if needed. All the animals were easy to view and it wasn’t too crowded which was good.
Had so much fun here with my 2 toddlers (Ages 2 and 4) we went early during the weekday and it wasn't crowded at all, which we love. With the zoo tickets you also get access to the petting zoo (bring lots of quarters to feed the animals) small zoo but so nice. All the staff and volunteers were very friendly.
Great place to spend a few minutes or a few hours. Parking can be challenging but it's not impossible. Good stop for toddlers to walk around as well.
Great place to see some wildlife in NYC. Adult admission is $10. There is one loop for wild animals and another loop for farm animals. The two bald eagles cannot fly as one of them was shot by a hunter and the other was hit by a plane.
Great Experience! Takes about 2-3hours to walk the whole zoo. Its a small zoo but great for last minute trip or few hours of your day. Entrance fees were cheap. $10 for Adult and $7 for kids, entrance fee includes petting zoo admission. You can bring your own food. If you don't want to bring food, they have a food truck and cafeteria to buy food or snacks. My family had a blast. We were able to see a lot of the animals. They mostly enjoyed the big bird cage. Beautiful birds. No zoo parking only Street Parking. It can be a little difficult but people are always coming and going. Definitely recommend 👌🏼 !
Street parking, in Queens, good luck, we spent 45 minutes looking/waiting for a parking spot. There's a separate amusement park right before the zoo entrance which just ruined our hopes of enjoying a nice day at the zoo because all the kids wanted was to skip the zoo entirely and just go to amusement to rides. They have restrooms at the entrance. There is a small petting zoo area where you can feed the goats etc for a fee at the coin operated food dispenser. I recommend going on a clear day as you have to walk in the trail and hope the animals are up & about. There is also an indoor bird arboretum where you have to walk up a slope to see the birds & there nests etc.
I won’t stop talking about this wonderful zoo and the Excellent service was provided to my family when we choose to celebrate a child’s birthday and invited his entire class and more. Frankie and his efficient staff has showed the best of NY. This place is a gem and so are Frankie and Maggy which handle with so much professionalism been caring and very pedagogical. The weather wasn’t good that day but Frankie handled it everything to make us feel comfortable and safe. We fed and pet the farm animals and walked around the zoo and enjoyed feeding of the California Sea Lions too. We had the best time ever!!! Now I want to celebrate my birthday there too! 🤗🥰 Thank you so much!!!
