"Great zoo!"

Reviewed January 11, 2025 NEW

Really great zoo with a variety of animals. We were there on a very cold day and were still able to see almost all of the animals. In certain areas there are staff talking about the animals and available to answer questions which is a very nice touch. We were not able to attend the Illuminights at night however, the items in place for it were beautiful during the day so I'm sure it is amazing at night. Our children all read "The One and Only Ivan" book which is what put this zoo on our to do list so it was awesome to see that they have a memorial there in his honor.

"We’re going to the zoo"

Reviewed November 17, 2024

City pass is a must if you’re touring around Atlanta. Save yourself money. The zoo Atlanta was cute, a little disappointed not being able to see panda or lions but had a good time overall. The petting zoo was fun and the goats are friendly, well taken care of. Seeing the sloth was a highly of my day! I love sloths 🦥 plus there was a baby sloth. The rhino was shy at first until it came outside to pee which was an interesting moment since we were excited for the rhino to come out. The zoo had some shows which I can’t talk on since I didn’t go to any of them. I did walk around the whole zoo and is though it’s a small zoo a lot of animals and interesting facts. I definitely recommend.

"SPECIAL PLACE TO SEE THE PANDAS AND MORE"

Reviewed August 28, 2024

This zoo is a must for its unique residents in addition to many other - the PANDAS. While we enjoyed watching many other animals here, there were those that you can see only here or in San Diego, no other zoo in the country currently has them - the pandas! While one of the two pandas was flat on his (or her) belly sound asleep, the other one was active and made our visit so special. Who would not like to watch these adorable fluffy, playful creatures.....

"PANDAS!"

Reviewed August 03, 2024

The whole reason we went to Atlanta was to see the pandas. We had already seen the pair that had been in Memphis. We wanted to see these before they went back to China. (This was before we learned that the Smithsonian will be getting a pair at the end of the year,) It is also the reason we got the City Pass, knowing we wanted to go to World or Coca-Cola and Georgia Aquarium. City Pass made our desires more budget friendly. As for the zoo, it is smaller than I expected. Everything was close together without a whole lot of walking. The fee for parking is accommodating to meet your plans for the day based off how long you think you will stay. A lot of the zoo is shaded, making for a more enjoyable visit when it is hot. There are 3 food places and other options for snack type items. We stopped and saw the panda bears 3 times before leaving so it is easy for you to see them. Just don't expect them to be in the outside habitat if going when it is hot.

"Enjoying an afternoon with the animals"

Reviewed July 30, 2024

We spend a very enjoyable day at the zoo. The terrain was quite spacious, and besides the animals there were opportunities to teach the kids and learn something specific . We were lucky that besides the regular zoo visit there was theme party “wild world weekend”. The kids had a ball and got lots of entertainment und activities .
