The Atlanta Zoo is a great place to go. It is good for children of ages 12& under. You get to see many unique animals that you may not see just anywhere. So try it!!!!!

Pros: short lines

Cons: fun in the sun

The Zoo is pretty nice...variety of different animals and themes. However I thought that it was a little pricey for children. I took my 3yr old son and they charged me like 12 bucks. Gee thanx for making me want a return visit.

It's kind of difficult to imagine a zoo in a city like Atlanta for me, but my friend wanted to check this place out so I went along. had a ok time...nothing like the zoo in ny...

What an incredible place to visit and see many of the wild animals that are usually only found on T.V. My favorite attraction is the panda bear. This is perhaps, one of the rarest of all animals at the zoo (a must see). If you can handle the smell while walking around it's a great place for kids and any pure animal lover.

I always have a good time when I go to Zoo Atlanta. The reptile exhibit is the best. A lot of snakes. Up close encounters with the animals in viewing rooms. The monkeys are fun.

Pros: Clean, next door to Civil War Museum,Great variety of animals, snake exhibit

Cons: Atlanta traffic,food/eating options

If you need a place to take your out of town guest for the day, then Zoo Atlanta is the place to go. The fact that it's small compared to other zoos in Miami or Detroit makes it more enjoyable because of the closeness to the animal exhibits. The Gorillas are very entertaining and the antics of the Elephants can keep you lingering at the exhibit. The staff is not as visible as they should be, but when needed they are very helpful & informative. If you see nothing else you must visit the Panda exhibit, but remember to do it early, between 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM when they feed-you won't be disappointed. I would recommend that you bring some snacks or food as the in park food is pricey. For an enjoyable day out with the family, out of town guests or just by yourself, treat yourself and them to Zoo Atlanta.

Pros: Clean and large exhibits,Excellent petting zoo,

Cons: Pricey tickets and Food

We took our two preschoolers over Memorial Day Weekend. The crowds weren't horrible, but getting good views of the animals was difficult at times. We found the park somewhat difficult to navigate, and poor signage and the lack of available staff didn't help. The natural habitats made it tough to see the animals, and the park really did look run down. To me, the highlights of the zoo were the gorillas and the reptile displays. Being an Atlanta native, I found my first trip back to the zoo in over 30 years to be disappointing.

Pros: Ticket Prices

Cons: Animal Views, Staffing

I go often, having a membership. Never disappointed. This is a fairly small zoo compared to other cities (such as Miami in my hometown). But there are great exhibits here. Gorillas are wonderful. Elephants are also great. The Pandas alone make the trip worthwhile. Staff and volunteers very helpful and knowledgeable.

Pros: Gorillas, Elephants, Panda Bears

I found the zoo to be overpriced ($70 for a family of 5) and the attractions were only marginal. Compared with similar zoos in St. Louis and Indianapolis, I would not recommend spending entertainment $$ on the Atlanta zoo.

Pros: pandas, primates, retile house

Cons: high cost, petting zoo, children play area
