Choose your entrance
The Southern Boulevard entrance is the most level part of the park and the closest to the centre of the zoo. The Bronx River entrance is off the Bronx River Parkway, and both have parking lots.
Check the season’s hours
From November to March the park is open from 10:00 to 16:30, and last entry is 45 minutes before closing. On Holiday Lights dates, daytime entry ends at 12:00.
Dress for a day outdoors
The zoo covers 265 acres, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Scooters, skateboards, bicycles and balloons must be left outside, and the park is smoke-free.
