What's different about winter at the Bronx Zoo?
We recognize there is a little less to see in the Winter Season, and our ticket prices are lower November to March. While seasonal attractions are closed – including Children’s Zoo, Monorail, Butterfly Garden, Zoo Shuttle and Budgie Landing – there’s still lots to see and do! Dress in layers so you can enjoy exploring cold-weather outdoor animals as well as many heated indoor exhibits.
New York City’s favorite holiday tradition is back and better than ever! NEW for 2026, we’re opening the Children’s Zoo farmyard, World of Reptiles, and World of Darkness during Holiday Lights. Our beloved holiday celebration returns on select dates from November 21 through January 3.
