Ciji TatumNovember 3, 2013If you have kids mark your calendar to check out Boo at the Zoo! A great family friendly treat :)
Great zoo. Parking is hard to find a lot of the time tho.
Fran HamptonMay 28, 2011Membership is definitely the way to go. My family of five buys the fam membership for 100 bucks a year!
HISTORYApril 19, 2010The 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.
The season pass is worth every penny! It costs less than two trips, and allows you to make short visits without feeling guilty about not seeing everything every time.
Kathy WatkinsJuly 18, 2011Used to work here. A great small and educational zoo for all ages. READ all the signs and learn. ;) Read more
James HerveyJanuary 10, 2010make sure you check out the back of your map for keeper talks, animal encounters and feedings. these events throughout the day really make the day
Chris GrinerApril 11, 2019Has not been maintained well. Very disappointing. You have to pay extra for the little train or carousel! The pandas were nice however
Reserve123.comSeptember 27, 2012Save some $$ on your admission by purchasing a CityPass. You'll have access to other great spots in Atlanta, too!
Jimmy BumpusMay 10, 2012Watch out for school groups, little brats will knock you over while the teachers just watch.- ScoutmobNovember 29, 2011When the city's outdated zoo was named one of the country's 10 worst in the 80s, Willie B. came to the rescue and stole our hearts. In 2000, more than 8,000 mourners joined for a tearful memorial.

Marilyn McGinleyJuly 10, 2015Parking here is not so fun but the new amphibious exhibit is really neat
Go at 4pm on the weekend & you still have til 6:30p to enjoy the zoo with no crowds.
Holly Howard SteinhoffMay 21, 2013If taking kids, call ahead to see which exhibits are closed to avoid potential disappointment.
Al NatanagaraOctober 2, 2010Get the wristbands for the kids. It makes your time at the zoo go by with less hassle.
Molly DanaFebruary 20, 2010said goodbye to Mei Lan and it made me sad. I also bought an annual membership. If you buy the partner one you and any guest can go to the zoo all year for the price of one day admission!
Robert SfeirFebruary 23, 2014We 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.
Phelicia AbramsMay 1, 2012Please make sure the rides are available on the day you go,however the kids will love it!
- ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011A failed circus gave birth to Zoo Atlanta. A local lumber merchant purchased the animals from the circus and donated them to the city in 1889.
HikingDiva .September 30, 2011Too many people race thru. Stop, watch. Bring your lunch. Can easily spend whole day there
Doctor AtlantisMay 7, 2011Train and Carousel stop at 5 pm! Be sure and get the kids there or suffer disappointment.
Stephen BoswellOctober 18, 2011Mom and cubs are active in morning and near 3:30 when they go inside for the day.
Jennifer RaoMarch 1, 2010Try the Nightcrawler if you get chance. Fabulous to see the animals in the early morning!
Host your child's birthday party here! You will not regret it
