Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
Common questions about zoos and aquariums in Westchester
How many zoos and aquariums are there in Westchester?
We list 3 zoos and aquariums within 38 miles of Westchester, NY. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.
Which zoos and aquariums in Westchester publish their prices?
1 of the 3 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.
Are any zoos and aquariums in Westchester free?
Yes. One place gets you in free: Trailside Museums and Zoo at Bear Mountain State Park.
How did Mini Navigators choose these zoos and aquariums?
We list every one we have within 38 miles of the center of Westchester. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. 1 of the 3 on this page publishes a price at all, so call ahead about the adult rate before you rely on it.
Do I need to book ahead?
Many now sell timed entry, and the popular slots go days ahead in the holidays. Members often still need to book. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Water, sunscreen and a stroller or carrier. These are long walks outdoors for small legs. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
What else is there to do with kids in Westchester?
Westchester has 12 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Westchester hub lists all of them.
