So What Happened?

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your responses on the Bronx Zoo. I actually went there last Wednesday with my two kids who where home from school for Rosh Hashannah. Needless to say they enjoyed the day very much. They both had their cameras and kept on running from a place to the other "capturing" as many animals as they could. It was not our first time there (we had visited the zoo back in 2004), but it was so great that it was like a first time for all. I wonder if the animals there know how much we appreciate their being there! I hope so, 'cause, still we got their freedom.

Bye and thank you again

V.

Wednesday are "donation entrance fee/free entrance" day - just remember that's only for the main entrance. You still have to par regular price for the special attractions, ie. the children's zoo

Wednesday for general admission. If you want to get the POP ticket, which includes everything, then its 12.00 for everyone. Go soon the season is almost over, Oct 28th, then mostly all of the big attractions are closed for the winter season. Our newest exhibit, Madagascar is open all year around though. Have fun!!

V. D,
I just looked up the hours & rates of the Bronz Zoo on their Web site: Wednesday admission is a pay-what-you-wish donation. Suggested donation is $15 for adults, $11 for children, and $13 for seniors.
Here is the web site

I'm not sure if you have a computer or not, but Google can be very helpful.

Wednesdays are free, but I think you have to pay a small fee for some exhibits that are usually free on the other days.

Any Wednesday is a good day for the Zoo and Botanical Garden, but i advise you to go early because parking is a headache and expensive and limited so if you can use the train or bus, that's good. Becasuse it is free on Wed there are a lot of school tours, they just ask you to make a donation at the gate.

Hi V.,
I am looking for someone to watch my 3 month old son 2 days a week. I work very close to where you live downtown. How long are you going to be in NYC? If you were interested it would be from around 8:30 am to 5 pm. I would like the 2 days to be on Monday and Thursday. Please let me know if you are interested and if yes, how much you would charge. Hope you are enjoying NY.

The Bronx zoo is pay what you wish on Wednesday's.
