The Zoo is the most fun thing to do. They have changed it since I was a kid for the better. Like the "habitats" the animals "live" in, the rides through the animal areas, the light show in the winter and just walking around, it's great exercise. Yes, the food is not the greatest, but after you're done at the Zoo, you can go over to the Little Italy of the Bronx . . . Arthur Avenue for the best Italian food.
Pros: the animals, the rides, the fun walking around
Cons: parking

This is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon - especially as a group outing. The ONLY downside is the price. $7 parking, $11 admission, $8 "ticket upgrade" (if you plan on attending any of the "cool exhibits -- do yourself a favor and upgrade). Lunch and refreshments ran approx $10/pp. It's also best to get there when the park opens (10 am) for a good parking spot.
Pros: Beautiful
Cons: $$$$, Parking

The kids love the zoo so much that I have purchased membership. The park is HUGE and has plenty to see. They have made recent renovations so there are better snack/food stands to choose from. Exhibits are clean with lots to see that you won't get to see it all in one visit (not if you actually take the time out to enjoy everything). The only downside is that there are a lot of extras that cost more money.
Pros: Clean, Food/Snack Stands, Large
Cons: Attractions Cost $$

Pitty they close some "attractions" during most part of the year. This is a great place to visit with kids.

One of the world's best zoo. The staff and designers have done such a great job designing and running this zoo. It is such a pleasant day to spend there i would go every week if I could! The only bad thing is poor choices in food and drink.
Pros: Beautiful, Great exhibits, Animals treated well
Cons: Bad food

I just went back to the zoo for the first time since I was a kid. It's great. If you grew up in the city, this will bring back great memories, as it did for me. If you've never been, it's a perfect escape from city life. You mostly can't hear the city sounds, or see the city sights. The exhibits are excellent, the place is huge, and fun for the whole family. The kids I saw were grinning ear to ear. We couldn't help but smiling ourselves.
Pros: inexpensive, close, fantastic displays
Cons: crowds, weather dependent

Great family day! Kids love the Congo forest and the monorail. As an added bonus, you get a pleasant woodsy walk.

So large that you can't do it all in one day. One problem is reaching it by public transportation from Manhattan.

No matter how well I think that I know the zoo I always get pleasantly lost. The place is so large that I get quite a workout just walking from exhibit to exhibit and sleep like a rock that night.
Pros: food is very good
Cons: more restrooms, more trolly stops
