The Bronx Zoo is my FAVORITE ZOO! It beats out the San Diego Zoo, in my humble opinion. No offense to San Diego!
Here's my take on the two.
*Kids will love to see the pandas in San Diego, so they have a MAJOR plus right there.
*San Diego Zoo is smaller, although they are building a new section for the elephants soon! I look forward to taking my children there in the future. The smaller size makes it easier if you have small children.
*Kids LOVED the skyfari. But as of this January it's grounded at the Bronx Zoo and still up in San Diego. There is talk of an "amusement park attraction" in the future at the Bronx Zoo. I'm personally hurt by the closing of the skyfari. The zoo said it was a financial decision, and not a safety reason, which gets me more upset. Losing the skyfari almost pushed me over to voting for the San Diego Zoo.
*The Congo Gorilla Forest is a MUST SEE at the Bronx Zoo! As is the Wild Asia Monorail ride.
*Outside of the San Diego Zoo there is a cool little kids train. Nice touch, but it is OUTSIDE of the zoo.
*Bronx Zoo has a great Bug Carousel- what kid doesn't like a carousel?
*San Diego Zoo has awesome flora.
I can't really compare the Bronx and San Diego Zoos to the Central Park Zoo. The Central Park Zoo is MUCH smaller, but is a great way to spend a couple of hours. You'll enjoy the children's zoo here as much as the children's zoo in the other zoos. What's most amazing about the Central Park Zoo is it's location in the heart of Manhattan! Make sure you compare your "paw" to Gus' paw by the polar bear exhibit!
