Price notesFree admission on Wednesdays after 2:00 p.m. per the zoo's published ticketing information (donations welcome). Price basis: the zoo's own ticketing page did not render for text extraction in this session; the figures above match the zoo's current published ticketing graphic and multiple current listings, and older zoo material showing $10/$7/$6 is superseded - see the research report gaps. A KultureCity sensory partnership is cited in zoo-published material but was not verified on the zoo's current pages, so no sensory flag is recorded.

Age notesPricing tiers per the zoo's published ticketing graphic: Adults 15+, Seniors 60+, Children 3-14; members and children 2 and under free. An 8-acre zoo famous for its reptile collection and groundhog (Staten Island Chuck).

Sensory notesKultureCity partnership is confirmed on the zoo's own site (this resolves the base pass's unverified caveat): sensory bags (KCVIP badges, fidget tools, noise-canceling headphones) can be checked out free by leaving an ID at the Guest Services Booth at the Clove Road entrance gate; weighted lap pads are available on request at the same booth. A social story is available via the KultureCity All-Inclusive App.
