You have younger kids, right?
Lots of territory to try to cover, so don't even try to see everything. It's worth the couple of extra bucks per ticket for the "extras".The Children's Zoo is sure to be a hit with the Prairie Dog exhibit and the Tree House/Slide. The gorilla exhibit is the one of best I've seen-when we were there in May, there was a group of Mamas sitting right near the glass nursing their babies. The aviary is cool too-able to walk around amongst hundreds of free-flying birds.
The food generally sucks, so you might think of packing a lunch and toting it along.

When I was alittle kid and we drove down to the "city", we always stayed at my grandparents place just off Fordham Rd. We went to the Bronx Zoo many times. It was awesome back then and I hear it's bigger and better now. Enjoy!

Been to the Bronx Zoo numerous times and loved it each time. The apes are cool, but be careful, they like to throw their own crap at the people, serious.

Like I told you after riding you'll love the place and you'll never know your in the middle of the city. Like Andy said the ape exhibit is really good. Try to get there when they open cause there is a lot to see and when you get there check the show times so you have enough time to get to the area they are having them.

The apes at the National Zoo in Washington DC put on a great show. I'd like to hit up the Bronx Zoo sometime.

Enjoy its a truly awesome place. In my neighborhood, I'm about 20 mins north, you'll be passing right by!
I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but bring a stroller for the little one....there is a decent amount of walking for them. We actually purchased the family plan a couple of years ago..it paid off after about 4 visits with the parking and tix for all.

Thanks. Do you know if tickets can be printed directly from that site? I can't imagine if they mail them I'd get them in time for this weekend.
Arthur Avenue is in the plan.
Thanks. I think we're going to bring a stroller and the Kelty pack. My 2 year old is a peanut and I can easily still shlep her around in that. Plus it will give her a higher vantage point to see things.
Have fun! Can't wait for the trip report..
