There's no free window to time here, so the math runs the other way: regular admission is $37.70+ adult (flex pricing), meaning a couple pays $75.40 and a group of four adults up to $150.80 at the gate. That's why the alternative routes below matter more here than at museums with a real free day.
No upcoming free dates are published right now. Bronx Zoo announces free days on its official page — that's the place to watch.
