I highly recommend the elephants, bush dogs, gorillas, and of course, the pandas . If you ever think you may want to have children - come here for a birth control realization.

Entire zoo is wheelchair and stroller accessible. That being said, whichever way you choose to make your loop, your first half will be uphill, and some parts are steep.

It was hot and the animals weren't up and about will try again in the fall. Overall the kids had a good time. The ppl drawing u as a cartoon in the park are really great, it only take 10mins.

The new reptile house is gorgeous- never thought I would use that word for a reptile house. 100% better than the old one. Bright and spacious . Worth the trip!

Rex Murr

Its a very big place. Expect to do a lot of walking but if you like zoo 's this is the place for you. Great place to bring the family.

Serhii Lutsko

The zoo is awesome, pandas and the way you can feed giraffes are the best

Christine LaRue

If you want to buy panda gifts , do so at the gift shop right by the panda exhibit as the main gift shop at the entrance is strangely devoid of all very many panda items.

Meet America’s only twin panda cubs or take on the Safari Day Camp to experience up-close animal encounters and learn about animals in a fun way.

President Riddle

Great for outdoor adventures, bar-b-ques, and close to the heart of the city . $40/person/day or $100/family/year. You tell me what's the better deal. Second season as a member holder and loving it.

Amanda Moralez

So many great animals to see! I enjoy following the zoo 's instagram account for a behind the scenes look and extra info on my favorites!

Hao Li

I visited here on July. Although the close time is 5:30 pm, but they begin to let animals into houses at 4:30 pm, you won't see a lot after that.

Kimberly Krautter

Zoo Atlanta is not just the pride of our city , it is one of the most respected zoos in the nation/world. The conservation, husbandry and preservation efforts here are wonderful!

Very Nice Zoo , lots of species, lots of room, lots of different points of view . Pandas , turtles , birds ...

Amanda Harwood

Days with light rain are the BEST. We don our rain boots and go looking for the biggest puddles. The animals are more active and it feels like a private viewing with no one else around.

Love food, beer and music almost as much as you love the adorable animals at Zoo Atlanta? Then don't miss Brew at the Zoo , a great beer festival held in May!

Elizabeth

There is always something fun going on around here from classes to interactive displays they set up.

Anna C.

make sure to get there by 10 a.m, at the latest. it gives you enough time to see the exhibits before all of the feedings. the orangutan feeding was extraordinary!

Oakland Cemetery

Go see the life-sized statue of Willie B , the famous silverback gorilla who served as an icon and ambassador to Atlanta for decades. He was named after 6 term mayor William B. Hartsfield.

Get to the zoo early for the best FREE parking . If you can't park in the lots, try street parking a few blocks east or west of the zoo .

Kate Nash

I love the layout of this compact zoo . It's also very stroller-friendly.be sure to check for reciprocating memberships if you belong to another zoo .

M T

The panda encounter is pricey but you won't find another opportunity close to it outside of China! Kicking myself that we didn't do it- guide had even offered a discount for our 1.5 year old.

Amy Knight

There’s no where to park right now. The big parking lot is closed. Streets are all filled as well . We had to park about a mile in a half away if not farther.

Thomas Corrao

One of the better zoos I've been to. Loved the panda .

HISTORY

The zoo opened in 1889 whenbusinessman George V. Gress purchased a bankrupt traveling circus & donated the animals to Atlanta. In 1999 the zoo joined only 2 other zoos in housing giant pandas .

Monique Hampton

Lun Lun, the giant panda , had twins! If you are planning to see her, you have to wait until later in the Fall because she is nursing them!

Ronnie Hill

Fantastic zoo , friendly professional staff . Very committed to the environment and conservation.

Gabriel Taylor

It was a fun place! Don't miss the statues near the kids zoo ! ;)

Rob Vernon

Zoo Atlanta's animal encounters are a great way to learn about the animals up close.

Pino Amerikano

Zoo is ok but small compared to other zoos around the world. But I like other attractions but they cost extra money almost just as much as the entrance fee for the zoo .

Ciji Tatum

If you have kids mark your calendar to check out Boo at the Zoo ! A great family friendly treat :)

Kirsten White

Great day, great exhibits we had a good time.

Steve Blackston

Great trip with the church group. Needs better directions for the bus drivers on where to park .

Robert Sfeir

We got our tickets for free from the library . To that end it was a lot of fun. If I had to pay 70.00 to get in, not so much.

michelle sink

Lots to see and do! Great petting zoo and exhibits !

Oron Gill Haus

Great healthy food options for kids and incredibly friendly staff .

A.Lenay ????

Went during the summer and the weather made the animals lazy and unappealing. Maybe going during the fall or spring is a better idea.
