The zoo is awesome (and improving! I can't wait to see the new penguin exhibit this fall!)! The membership is well worth it, especially if you have children that enjoy the zoo like mine does.
Baltimore MarylandAugust 10, 2011Stay cool at the Zoo this August! Every Tuesday guests will receive a 25% discount admission and every Thursday the Zoo stays open until 7pm, offering live music as you stroll through the park.
Rob VernonApril 21, 2015Be sure to visit the new Penguin Coast - a great learning experience and the African penguins are not bad, either!
MarylandJune 13, 2012There is an African watering hole includes rhinos, zebras, leopards, cheetah, chimpanzees. Walk through #1-rated Children's Zoo, the Maryland Wilderness and visit the arctic at Polar Bear Watch.
Adam WAugust 18, 2012Haven't been here in 10 years...not as nice as the DC zoo but still a really nice chill place to walk around. The Africa section is definitely the highlight- Any AssemblyMarch 5, 2016Any Assembly is a customer driven company specializing in assembly of furniture and equipment for home/business. http://goo.gl/HcuCIX
Emily RickeltonJune 22, 2011Chimpanzee house and the sifakas are adorable. Great kid friendly zoo. A manageable morning trip. You can see animals up close. I think it's better than the national zoo!
❦ ❧Desi Stine❦ ❧April 28, 2013Love the Baltimore Zoo been a member for about 15 years. If you have never been here its a must visit for Baltimore
Kristin LavinMay 27, 2012Our zoo is amazing! I love it! Don't listen to the snobs who say its boring or dirty. Sorry our animals don't recreate animal planet scenes.
James HJuly 9, 2012Very cool zoo! Read reviews that it's too small, nonsense! Great for a ages, lots of variety. Love the ostriches.
HISTORYMay 21, 2010Opened in 1876, this is generally considered to be the third oldest zoological park in the U.S. This zoo breeds the greatest number of African black footed penguins.
John HoltzOctober 27, 2012Nice settings. Could use more exhibits, expanded space for some like cheetahs. See before and after what fort worth did a number of years back.
The guys at the food kiosk by the giraffes and elephants offer the best customer service in the whole zoo!
What a great zoo! Absolutely must check out the Maryland Wildlife section.
Chris GutierrezSeptember 8, 2015I was actually pleasantly surprised at the amount of animals that this zoo had to offer.
Amanda PincheiraSeptember 24, 2011Membership is great. You can enjoy the zoo whenever you want. Check out the kids petting zoo. Great fun- StaceyJune 20, 2010This zoo is friggin' awesome. They have polar bears AND penguins. You can feed giraffes, AND YOU CAN RIDE A CAMEL! A camel. Ride it.
Tom CallahanMarch 15, 2014If you come more than twice a year, the membership is usually a good value
Kevin WildfangMay 29, 2012Gift shop is not inside the zoo. Makes no since so if you enter through the back gates you have to ride a tram to get to the gift shop.
Sandy SoMarch 31, 2013Input into car's navigation Gynns Falls Parkway and Swan Drive as the intersection for the Zoo's entrance.
Bo RozayNovember 30, 2012My daughter had a extravaganza/party here .!!!!!!Awesome well its what u make it.
Allison FixAugust 20, 2011FONZ Members, they don't offer you free admission any longer due to a "severed relationship" between the Maryland Zoo and the National Zoo. Bummer.
- Arrive early and avoid crowds :) be sure to check out the frogs in the chimpanzee forest!
Ellen CruzMarch 22, 2016The zoo was almost empty, just got to see a few animals, a lot of exhibitions were closed. Really disappointed!!
Jason BenderNovember 9, 2013They should charge less. African exhibit is under construction. No zebras or rhinos. The aviary is closed. Under construction. The children's area is weak. Building a new penguin exhibit as well.- Linda FausnetApril 9, 2011Watch out for the polar bears. Your kids might get an eyeful and have some questions for you....
Holly QJuly 25, 2011Bring your own drinks & snacks because most off the vending machines are broken or empty. Also, the concession near the elephants is closed.

Ariana YglesiasJune 1, 2011Visiting from texas and this zoo was not worth it. The only good part was feeding the giraffes.
