Bergen County Zoo

We loved our time at the zoo. Our favorite was seeing the budgies 🐤and being in their habitat while they flew around us. We had fun riding the train to see the sights. The train ride line gets long but still worth it. Extremely affordable experience for a family of 4 especially if you are a Bergen County resident.

Great little zoo for very little ones. Buy a train ticket and ride that before you do the zoo, the train is well worth the $2.00. Gift shop was very quaint and not too overpriced. Lots of selections and they have a great range. The budgies were our favorite part. The birdies have so many colors and they looked super soft and cute. My 2yr old enjoyed walking around. Plenty of places to sit and eat lunch. Got there at 1030am and we left by 1140am. And this included the train ride. Parking was fine. Not really any selections for food so I suggest you pack some snacks. I got bit by a few mosquitoes but my hubs and kids didn't. Residents tickets are only $4.00 and kids under 3 are free for the zoo. Kids under 1 are free for the train

I hosted my son’s birthday party at the Zoo and we loved it. The staff is very helpful and attentive. We purchased a package that provides access to the zoo, train, and carousel after the party. We had an animal habit teaching time for all the kids and adults. We loved it. They provided coloring bags for the kids. Prompt reply to any questions or concerns. We brought our decor and organized everything within half an hour provided to us. FYI- decor is not provided. The rental period is 1 hour and 30 minutes. No balloons are allow.

This is a cute place to take the kids to. There's a train that rides around the park, which is always a lot of fun. The zoo has a variety of animals, but don't expect it to be like the Bronx zoo. I love that there is a carousel on the grounds as well. I only saw one food truck serving hot dogs and one ice cream truck, so you might want to keep that in mind if you're thinking of going. There's a general store where you can get water, sodas and sovaneirs. The price to ride the train and to enter the zoo is $4.00 each for NJ residents. I believe kids under 3 are free. You can't beat the price.

Small but clean zoo, nice place to get away for a few hours but limited amount of different animals, if you want a large zoo visit the Bronx zoo.
