We loved the zoo & had a great time. We became members at the end of the day so it was a great opportunity to see all that we could. We brought our own food, which helps having a diabetic child, because he can't always eat items provided.
This was an excellent price for the event. The zoo can be quite pricey but having this ticket was a huge cost savings and there was no confusion when I handed the attendant the Goldstar confirmation document. As others have stated it is beneficial to bring your own snacks/refreshments because it can be costly to purchase food at the zoo. There are no restrictions on bringing a back pack or even a rolling cooler into the zoo and it is especially helpful if you have small children or are attending with others. I really enjoyed the day.
LOVED the Bronx Zoo. I visit the zoo at least 3 times a year.

Congo Gorilla Forest
Go nose-to-nose with gorillas in a 6.5-acre swath of the rainforest that will transport you to the heart of Africa. Your Congo wildlife safari will be packed with surprises as you trek beneath the canopy of leaves, through sprays of mist, and up to treetop lookouts.
