Its landscaping replicates the natural habitats of the numerous animals, some of which are endangered species. Two panda bears from China delight the crowds, and groups of gorillas separated by moats do their own share of entertaining. « less

On our recent visit to the Atlanta Zoo, we felt it definitely has some concerns. Some of the buildings needed a fresh coat of paint and some of the large exhibit areas needed some cleaning up. We were also very disappointed that the panda bears were not in their outside enclosure, but instead in a tiny inside area. The adult... More

The animals appear happy in spaces large enough to hold them. The animals appear well cared for. There are lots of shady spots for the animals and humans. Parking is not simple on spring break or holidays. More

Nice zoo, surprised it wasn't larger but had spacious enclosures for most of the animals. We felt ripped off on food prices - $21 for three pretzels and three bottles of water. More

We've been to a few different zoos now and we really enjoyed this one. We especially liked the panda exhibit, though they weren't too active. We had the Citipass, so it was a good value for the pkg deal. More

We went on a Monday morning May. Because school is still in session, there were few children over toddler size, and a limited number of school groups. There was easy viewing at each exhibit. The reptile room is creepy fascinating, the lemurs were very playful. The Live Tree House had great birds. The lions, orangutans, and gorillas were sleepy and... More
