Bronx Zoo

Anyone ever drive from the Heights to the Bronx Zoo? You go Triboro/Bruckner or Whitestone/Hutchinson?

I'd go Triboro as I've had some nasty waits on the Whitestone.

You could also take the FDR/Willis Ave and save the toll. Because you're going to be spending a bundle at the zoo.

Are you taking kids? It might be worth it to get a family membership at www.wcs.org $120 will get you a family membership that covers the bronx zoo, the aquarium, the prospect park zoo and the central park zoo. The bronx zoo for 2 adults and 2 kids will run you $44. The membership is mostly tax-deductable.

There are individual memberships as well.

$48, not $44 for 2+2. I recommend the premium membership, it will get you into the butterfly thing and the monorail and everything for free too, instead of having to pay $3-5/person a pop.

Math is hard.

Willis Ave exit and then what?

Willis Ave bridge and third ave bridge are same. stay left for bruckner. follow signs and traffic to bruckner. take bronx river pkwy north. cant remember exit. sorry you have to do a mapquest . old brain isnt working right now.

oops..totally wrong. falling asleep. i gave you directions not from fdr but from first ave onto willis ave bridge and you are supposed to stay right to get to bruckner not left. just ignore previous directions from me and use mapquest. soo sorry.
