The zoo is nice, plenty of activities for children. There appeared to be several animals not in their exhibits, which was slightly disappointing. There was quite a bit of construction going on, however it did not prohibit my movement on the walkway. I saw the entire zoo within two hours. I must add that I was alone therefore I moved much faster than others who were with children, the elderly or with an additional person. They recognize veterans, which is great.
Great and clean zoo with lots of animals in large enclosures, largest of Zoos I have previously visited. The zoo itself was cleaned and maintained well. Prices in gift shop were way to high and ended up not getting even a t-shirt, it was well over 50.00 for a normal shirt, that part is ridiculous. Much better pricing at Aquarium for souvenirs. Make sure to buy City Pass and save. Was easy to use and redeem the tickets at all locations. Went on a Friday and was bummed not many shows were available. Feeding the giraffe was nice and quick. The VR ride was nice but a little short for price.
We went to Zoo Atlanta for the lantern festival. It was great! The animals aren't in the exhibits due to the cold. It's mainly about the beautiful lanterns, hot cocoa, and s'mores around the fire pits. They also are serving alcohol upon request. It's a great excuse to drive into the city, and walk around the zoo.
Today, Monday, we went to the zoo and had a great time learning more about the animals and their habitats, their environment, and their care. Everything was clean and well-organized. Highly recommended! The three lion brothers, the giraffes, the elephants, the Sumatran tiger, and all the other animals that live in this great zoo were spectacular. You can have a great day out with the family. Highly recommended.
Great zoo! Lots of great animals. I love the fact that they still give out a paper map that also shows all of the keeper talks and feeding times. A bit on the expensive side especially after $3/hour to park.
