Any of the NYC attractions that have "suggested donations" are free if you have no money to pay. You don't need "connections". LOL!

Remember too, many of the City's finest attractions, Bronx Zoo, MOMA, Metropolitan Museum, have corporate sponsor programs that allow employees in free with an ID card from work.

Worth checking if you work for a major corporation especially at MOMA or Brooklyn Botannic Garden where there is NO suggested donation, just a fee.

Pay what you wish means just that...these places are run on foundation, federal, state, and city money...and thus we all pay dearly. If you pay $1 admission to get into the Metropolitan, nobody will bat an eye.

Does the Zoo offer free admission to "corporate members?"

Many who work there call it "Welfare Wednesday." Very crowded on Wednesdays. And many people who don't pay don't exactly respect the place.

My route would be to take Mosholu Pkwy to the old Ted Kazimiroff Blvd into Southern Blvd to the zoo's 182 street entrance.

Would I be safe on S. Blvd between Fordham Rd and 182 street on a bike(I mean in terms of being a crime victim)?
Yes, it's the day to avoid.

I love all of these Bronx threads asking about is it safe to go to such and such place.
