Charlsie 🍡March 30, 2013I 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.

Quansa MitchellJune 2, 2013It 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.
Geovany FinolMay 14, 2015Excellent place for the family must see the Pandas they are the main attraction try to be there at 9.30 am later gets too crowded

President RiddleSeptember 12, 2011Great 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.
Focus Pointe GlobalMay 30, 2014Check with the front desk when you get there to make sure you know about all of the feedings and animal encounters going on that day! Want more tips? Check out Kid Friendly Summer Fun - Atlanta! Read more
Hao LiJuly 10, 2017I 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.
Terry CNovember 8, 2012great zoo! lots of animals, they were also very photogenic. a must see site for atlanta. also if the atlanta city pass is still available, GET IT! way cheaper!
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.
Rex MurrApril 17, 2015Its 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.
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!
Anna C.June 13, 2012make 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!
Amy KnightApril 6, 2018There’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.
Occupy My Family ATLMarch 12, 2013Get 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.
Kimberly KrautterSeptember 29, 2012Zoo 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!
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!- AtlantaMarch 13, 2014Meet 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.
Don't miss feeding the giraffes...cash only, and check your map for feeding times!
Jedidiah MayMarch 11, 2016This place is awesome. We drive from Kentucky, and it's worth the trip every time. Especially the pandas!
Kate NashNovember 4, 2012I 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.
GPNAFebruary 26, 2013Zoo Membership! This is a GREAT zoo with fabulous events throughout the year that will keep you coming back. Membership will $ave you money!
There is always something fun going on around here from classes to interactive displays they set up.
Patrice VerstichelJuly 14, 2017Very Nice Zoo, lots of species, lots of room, lots of different points of view. Pandas, turtles, birds ...
Christine LaRueNovember 30, 2013If 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.
Monique HamptonAugust 11, 2013Lun 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!- AtlantaMay 23, 2014Receive general admission to see 1,000 animals, representing more than 200 species from around the world, plus an All Rides wristband with an Atlanta CityPASS!
M TAugust 12, 2014The 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.
Cliff SinonNovember 7, 2021Great time to go when temperature is cooler. We went for Halloween festivities and they did a great job.
Get Local ATLApril 5, 2012Love 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!
Pino AmerikanoMay 11, 2018Zoo 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.
LesleannAugust 18, 2014Become a Zoo Atlanta Member! You won't regret it. Get stamps in your kid's zoo passport to earn prizes and perks throughout the year.
A.Lenay 💋June 25, 2012Went during the summer and the weather made the animals lazy and unappealing. Maybe going during the fall or spring is a better idea.
WEATHER ADVICE! If it is to cold or to hot certain animals won't be out or in view. If it is below 48 degrees or feels below that chances r alot of animals won't be out. Think before you go!
Ronnie HillApril 2, 2017Fantastic zoo, friendly professional staff. Very committed to the environment and conservation.
Oakland CemeteryFebruary 2, 2011Go 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.- GPNAMarch 17, 2011Local Lust: Zoo Membership! This is a GREAT zoo with fabulous events throughout the year that will keep you coming back. Membership will $ave you money!
Steve BlackstonMay 31, 2014Great trip with the church group. Needs better directions for the bus drivers on where to park.
J.W. MoellerJuly 25, 2012A zoo is a zoo is a zoo. Nothing special except for the pandas. Don't go when it's hot; the animals want to rest in the shade just as much as you do
Rob VernonAugust 14, 2014Zoo Atlanta's animal encounters are a great way to learn about the animals up close.
eileen ungerDecember 16, 2009Stop and say hi to our panda cubs, who get to stay here in Atlanta!! Membership is incredibly reasonable and allows for unlimited visits during the year with extra perks. Read more
KevinFebruary 5, 2013I could watch the gorillas all day. The red panda was cute as elf and as always the meerkats rock my life.
Often-overlooked animals: the giant tortoises near the exit; the hornbills, who often flaunt food in their beaks at passersby (usually dead mice); the Koopaesque snapping turtle in the reptile house.
