Visit The Bronx Zoo On A Free Admission Day

The Bronx Zoo (also historically the Bronx Zoological Park and the Bronx Zoological Gardens) is a zoo within Bronx Park in the Bronx, New York. It is one of the largest zoos in the United States by area and is the largest metropolitan zoo in the United States by area, comprising 265 acres (107 ha) of park lands and naturalistic habitats separated by the Bronx River. Today, the Bronx Zoo is a world-renowned for its large and diverse animal collection, and its award-winning exhibitions.

The Bronx Zoo is part of an integrated system of four zoos and one aquarium managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and it is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). While the Bronx Zoo does usually charge an entry fee, they also offer free admission every Wednesday. If you are going to be in the city midweek, this is a great way to see the iconic zoo without spending a dime on entry. Reservations ahead of time are required and open each Monday at 5 p.m. for the following Wednesday. Visiting The Bronx Zoo is a free thing to do in New York City that you should experience.
