What People Are Saying About Zoo Atlanta

The Scene – The zoo occupies the southern half of Grant Park. Habitats are spacious and naturalistic, with plenty of trees, bushes, watering holes and cozy dens. That makes animals who naturally live in trees, bushes and cozy dens hard to see sometimes, but patience usually pays off. The Kenyan habitat has giraffes, zebras, ostriches, antelope, rhinos, lions and tigers. On a smaller scale, birds, freaky reptiles, insects and snakes also all make their home in the zoo. Don't miss the Atlanta specials: Ivan the gorilla, Starlet O'Hara the elephant, Kudzoo the gorilla and the curiously…
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- The petting zoo is open daily. Kids can reach out and touch pygmy goats, pot-bellied pigs and sheep. "Paul" the sheep is renowned for his outgoing personality.
- When to Go:
- If you're looking to see Lun Lun and Yang Yang in action, visit in the morning, between 9:30 and 11am, when they feed.
- The Extras:
- While food is available inside the zoo, save a couple of bucks and bring your own. Beverages (nonalcoholic, no glass containers) are also allowed inside.

Can I Get a Hungry Hippo for $300, Please...?
by Kepie
This week, I had the opportunity to visit the zoo and I'm still bothered by the condition of the animals. The lion is supposed to be the King of the Zoo, however, he looked more like a big, hungry housecat from the neighborhood. His bones and ribs could be seen through his coat. The pandas were filthy and they, too, looked exhausted and underfed. The alligator and turtles had barely any water in their habitat and were covered in dry mud, algae and pollen. No, I'm not a zookeeper, however, I have done enough research to know that something wasn't right with the animals at Zoo Atlanta. Even my students continued asking what was wrong with the animals. I'd just told my family, the day before, that we'd get annual passes for the zoo. However, after visiting with the school, we'd probably be better off visiting the aquarium or the neighborhood lake.

The Zookeeper
by Shunda
I recently moved to Atlanta and my first stop was Zoo Atlanta. I am so happy I took time out to visit the animals and made it a fun day!
Everyone must take a day off from work, home, etc and just enjoy the animals that will definitely put a smile on your face.
- Pros: Pandas

Glad We Have Zoo Atlanta
by waltont
We are really glad we became a Zoo Atlanta member years ago. It's a great activity for our 6 year son on the weekends. He never gets tired of seeing the animals. I would also strongly encourage the membership, especially if you live in the area. Having the membership also allows us to take additonal family, friends or play date buddies. We also love the Zoo's summer camp. It's a little pricey but again our son always enjoys that week or two interacting with the animals and the Zoo Camp Team. Because we are close, we often will go over during the spring and summer and just play on the playground and ride the train.
- Pros: Worth a membership!
- Cons: none
