    Fun 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.

    Animals and climbing areas . You can crawl through tunnels and see ground hogs, climb a giant spider web, and see how your jumó compares to different animals. At the end there is a petting zoo where you can feed farm animals. A great place to visit !

    If you have kids, bring them here! Things to know: - This is a star attraction, meaning that, if you’re visiting the zoo with a free Wednesday ticket or with a limited membership, this is not included - Bring quarters! Two 25c coins are required for a handful of food to feed the animals at the end of this attraction; that includes goats, sheep and a few other animals that are used to being petted and to eating out of kids’ hands - There’s a larger hands washing station at the end of this attraction - At around 4:45pm, one of the staff members will get in line for the animal food machines; no one behind this person will be allowed to get more food, and they’ll remove the machines once that person gets to them

    Visiting the Children's Zoo was an absolute joy! It's a charming little petting zoo that allows you to get up close and personal with a variety of adorable animals, making it a fantastic experience for both kids and adults. The ducks and geese gracefully swimming in the ponds were a delightful sight. The sheep and goats were incredibly cute and fluffy. The turtles added a unique touch to the zoo. Watching them slowly move around their pond was oddly calming and added to the overall charm of the place. I appreciated the accessibility and safety measures put in place, ensuring that kids could interact with the animals safely and responsibly. The Children's Zoo is a must-visit spot, especially if you have kids who adore animals. It's a simple yet magical place that leaves you with happy memories and a smile on your face. I highly recommend this delightful zoo to anyone looking for a fun and family-friendly activity!

    Well worth a visit. If you want to feed the animals, bring some quarters or some singles, they have a machine to make change. The kids L0VED it.

    Bronx zoo is my favorite zoo in the city. It's better to go on 2 days so you can actually enjoy everything. Only con is that it's always crowded. We all had fun from the 1yr old to the 26yr old lol

    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.

    Always a great time here! So many cute little things for kids under 10 to enjoy. Though, nothing really gets refreshed or redone. I’m not asking to switch out the animals but it gets a bit redundant to justify a yearly membership.

  • 5/5 Stacie 4 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Great variety of animals, it's not just a petting zoo. It also has quite a few exhibits and must sees like the prairie dogs and fennec foxes! It ends with a petting zoo with the usual farm animals plus super fluffy alpacas!

    You can pet the animals and feed them, they’re friendly and they are super safe for toddlers.

  • 5/5 Ami P. 4 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 4/5 Jaime S. 3 years ago on Google
    Just a wonderful, "removed from the outside world" place that your kids will love. Our 18-month old would not stop running around and smiling and having the best time of his life. Not an exaggeration, our son loved every second of it. It's a very affordable place to go if you are cost and price-conscious like we are.

  • 5/5 Mark L. 3 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately due to covid most interactive exhibits are closed (slides, spider web, etc) but you can still feed the animals

  • 5/5 Matey C. 3 years ago on Google
    Ultimately fantastic.

  • 5/5 Toys And f. 3 years ago on Google
    Kids love to feed the animals. Bring plenty of quarters or small bills to buy the food. There is a change machine that accepts $1's and $5's.

    My daughter really enjoyed seeing the animals but she was too fearful to feed them. She is only 2.5. It's perfect for toddlers and young kids!

    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)
