This is a huge, sprawling zoo with lots of great exhibits and active animals to see…read more They have several parking lots, so it may be helpful to look at a map in advance and choose the one that's most convenient for you. They use dynamic pricing for tickets. We went on a Saturday around 1pm and tickets were $50 for each adult and parking was $22 per car. Some of the exhibits also have an added charge. So if you don't have a membership, it can add up very quickly. You'll do a ton of walking, so definitely wear comfortable shoes. Most of the paths are paved and it's super stroller friendly. Much of the park is organized by geography. We saw tigers, snow leopards, bison, giraffes, komodo dragons, swans, and a ton more. Though it was busy, the exhibits felt pretty accessible and it was easy to catch a view of the animals without a long wait. They have a few concession areas throughout, but options are pretty limited so I'd eat elsewhere. There's also a carousel, monorail, and shuttle. There's a nice view of the Bronx River on one side with a waterfall. Great for families and kids. You can see everything in one day, but it definitely requires several hours.

Too much walking. Too little to see if you can even see the animals. It's a big place but feels…read morelike there isn't much more to see than other zoos. Also, too many extra charges. Some jungle room was extra, to again, see almost nothing. The tickets are already pricey. Like, we see families sometimes come to the booth and add up how much it adds up to and they just leave and that doesn't even include all the additional charges inside? Food is expected to be pricey but a can of water that doesn't close is $5 so now you're lugging around an open can trying not to spill it. If the goal is sustainability, this is a single use can which defeats the whole purpose. There are aluminum bottles that have an aluminum cap that people would be able to close and reuse. There are also trams that need to be dodged all the time but the worst of the worst are the loud airplanes overhead every five minutes. What kind of animal sanctuary has planes flying overhead every five minutes?

Floral displays at the NY Botanical Gardens captured the spirit of encouragement for peace and love, instead of conflict. A culture of rebellion in the '60s against the Vietnam War, this movement provided hopefulness to connect people through earth and nature, essentially resulting in the Summer of Love and the creation of the Flower Child.

Will remember to go during Springtime. Need to pay a fee for some exhibits, which we skipped. Has forest trails which we found convenient for getting to the other side, see waterfall/stream but is not paved of course. There is an Adventure Garden for children and families- with a treehouse for younger kids, hands on activities, near the marsh. Leads to a covered picnic area - we brought lunch, which is allowed. There is a place to get food in another area but pricey. Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Can pay for shuttle service. Restrooms available but are spread out. Getting there, we took B, D train, and BX25, BX26 bus or walk for about 15 min. Uphill from the garden.

The seal was sun bathing on a rock and did nice poses for us to see. It was very cute. Other animals to see are the Japanese red panda, the bear and snow leopard.

Our son was mesmerized by the clock spiel. :) I definitely recommend going and come earlier to do everything and watch the cute movie as well.

I've visited parks all over the country and found little pieces here and there that remind me of Central Park, but nothing has ever come close to its beauty, magnificence, and magic. If I could afford it, I would happily live right next door and spend my days wandering its paths. It is more than just a city park, it's an experience, and it's one of those places to visit once in a lifetime.

Central Park I love…read morenature and all its beauty. I also love cinema. Walking around this park, I felt a mixture of serenity and familiarity. The conservationists are doing a lovely job of keeping the park clean, vibrant, and beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised by the lakes; I didn't expect to see them in the middle of a bustling and stereotypically rigid NYC. The park was full of families enjoying a day out, kids playing games, lovers taking a stroll, tourists using up all of their iCloud storage, fitness fanatics getting in their workouts, musicians sharing their talents with the world, readers who found a quiet place away from all of the aforementioned, and people watchers, like me. There is plenty of space for everyone here. Even though I've been to NYC multiple times in my life, I don't recall ever coming to Central Park. The familiarity comes from all of the movies, TV shows, commercials, and even social media pictures and videos that have featured the beauty of this park as a backdrop. (John Wick, is that you??) Yet make no mistake. This gem, a mixture of GOD's masterpiece and the works of man, is no mere supporting actor. Central Park gives main character energy, which is central to its plot of allure.
