Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Official Parking at The Bronx Zoo on Southern Boulevard and Bronx River Parkway The site has two main parking lots, with one at Southern Boulevard and the other off the Bronx River Parkway (bronxzoo.com). The Southern Boulevard lot is at 2300 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10460 (bronxzoo.com), placing the main parking choice directly beside the attraction in The Bronx, near The Gulch. Weekend Preferred Parking at Fountain Circle costs $30 (bronxzoo.com). The official parking map names Bronx River Parking, Southern Blvd Parking, and Preferred Parking at Fountain Circle, and shows the preferred lot as closed in the displayed status (bronxzoo.com). Parking can fill to capacity on peak days (bronxzoo.com), so the official lots are best treated as the first choice rather than a guaranteed space. ## Nearby Named Parking Choices Around Southern Boulevard The official site identifies Bronx River Parking as a separate lot from Southern Blvd Parking (bronxzoo.com). Drivers approaching from the Bronx River Parkway can use that named zoo lot instead of routing to the Southern Boulevard entrance, while the attraction address remains 2300 Southern Boulevard (bronxzoo.com). For visitors who prefer a reserved off-site space, Parksy lists a secure garage space in The Bronx, 0.5 mi away, at $11 a day, and a parking lot 0.6 mi away at $10 a day. A covered space at 459 E. 189th St. is 0.9 mi away and costs $15 a day. Other listed choices include KK Enterprise Garage, 0.9 mi away, at $14 a day, and valet parking at 428 E. 189th St., also 0.9 mi away, at $14 a day. Show map of The Gulch ## Peak-Day Pressure and Parking Around The Bronx Streets Peak days create the main parking risk because the official ticket information warns that parking can fill to capacity (bronxzoo.com). Weekend visitors also have a specific official upgrade, Preferred Parking at Fountain Circle, priced at $30 (bronxzoo.com). The official access information directs drivers to the two main lots at Southern Boulevard and off the Bronx River Parkway (bronxzoo.com). Those are the named parking approaches provided for the attraction, so drivers should follow the lot-specific routing instead of treating surrounding residential streets as overflow parking. The site is in The Bronx near The Gulch, at 2300 Southern Boulevard (bronxzoo.com). ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.5 to 0.9 Miles of the Site Parksy has a monthly option for drivers making repeated visits: Prime Parking Near BronxCare & Hostos College is 0.5 mi away and costs $290 a month. For a single visit, a secure garage parking space in The Bronx is 0.5 mi away at $11 a day, while a nearby parking lot is 0.6 mi away at $10 a day. Further options include affordable covered parking at 459 E. 189th St., 0.9 mi away, for $15 a day. KK Enterprise Garage is also 0.9 mi away at $14 a day, and secure valet parking at 428 E. 189th St. is 0.9 mi away at $14 a day. These spaces give drivers alternatives when the official lots are full, with the closest listed choices at 0.5 mi from the attraction. ## Bronx Park East Station and the Walk to the Zoo Bronx Park East is the nearest station, 0.5 mi from the site and an 11-minute walk away. The station provides the clearest rail alternative for visitors who want to avoid driving through The Bronx near The Gulch, particularly when the official lots are under peak-day pressure. The attraction is at 2300 Southern Boulevard, and the place is 0.3 mi from The Gulch center. From Bronx Park East, the 11-minute walk covers the stated 0.5 mi distance to the zoo. Drivers using an off-site Parksy space can combine parking with the station-area approach, while visitors coming entirely by rail can avoid the official car-parking charge of $22 for all-day car parking.
