Nice photos!

That zoo is really nice for kids. It's the perfect size if you have little ones.

problem with the bronx zoo is unless its some special deal the cost to go is prohibitive for most families. parking is 12 bucks and 2 basic tickets not including everything i think were 24 bucks for my wife and i.

i can see it costing a family of 4 over 150 bucks with just gas and tolls.

the other problem i found at the bronz zoo is its so big and the animals have so much space to wander that most exhibits of the larger animals we saw nothing.

Very nice shots. The backgrounds look very natural as well.

I have a membership for the zoos, but I like Queens bcs it's smaller. My daughter is only 2 and while the bx zoo is nice, Queens zoo is plenty big enough. Plus parking is free.
