I've been to the Bronx Zoo with my child and friends. At the time, they were in the midst of some renovations, so not all of the sections were available. Of course, the food is always over-priced and blah at the zoo, but we tend to go there to see the animals and not to have a dining experience. I did find the zoo particularly crowded and noisy when you came anywhere near the droves of camp kids. I wish they would have special days for that, so that people with small children could just enjoy the park without having to deal with the craziness. We did enjoy the woodsy feeling in parts of the zoo, only to be reminded of the nearby roads in other. We stayed in the city, and we were able to take a special bus from outside one of the toy shops that went straight out to the zoo. The zoo was ok, but it’s not a place I'd be a regular patron at.
