Really like the park but carousel stuff is funny and waiting for you to give ticket even if you have a crying kid doesn’t matter for them they just want you to GIVE THE TICKET also even if you need to hold your kid. What they supposed to do is after first ride should ask ticket ONLY FOR THE KID not parents. This is insane!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Why is park so full today? Zoo and train are packed.

Ramon Flores | Oct 2, 2021
R R | Oct 2, 2021

The holidays brings hundreds of families and sightseers from all around the Tri-state area. Fortunately for me, the very next day, possibly due to a poor weather forecast, not only was I not stuck in that huge line (I tried and they cut the queue at some point and sent everyone past that point, including myself, away due to overcrowding and only 1 hr to closing), there was no line at all! As a side point, I wish the zoo admins would understand the seasonal Jewish Holidays and accomodate/prepare accordingly. It happens predictably & cyclically 3+ times EVERY year. Regardless, they're still one of our family's favorite trips and I don't see that changing anytime soon! 😄
