"DO NOT VISIT THIS ZOO IN WINTER!!!"

Reviewed January 24, 2026 NEW

We visited on Sunday 18th January and had the most disappointing experience. Booked tickets on the website in the morning before we left for the zoo, and there was nothing mentioned on their site about a lack of animals being out (and paid the standard full price for the day) Although we did see some animals, all the main ones you would want to see at a zoo were not there, with big signs in the enclosures saying "animals not on display" We kept meeting people while walking around asking each other if there are any animals to see! I'm aware that when it's too cold animals may have to be taken somewhere else to stay warm, but this should really be mentioned as a big warning when booking tickets online, and the price should be at least half price during this period as we (and others we met) were ripped off. We never would have booked tickets if we'd known we wouldn't see gorilla, orangutan, giraffe, rhino! (We did at least see 1 tiger, 1 elephant, 2 otter, 3 zebra, 3 lion and a red panda and the petting zoo was fun with very cute goats and sheep you could stroke and brush) And all the food places were also closed and water fountains didn't work! We did see a small sign by the entry booth saying that not all animals would be on display but it was far too late at this point! I think in warmer weather it could be a really nice zoo based on the animals shown on their map. DO NOT VISIT THIS ZOO IN WINTER!!!

"Fun zoo"

Reviewed January 18, 2026 NEW

We were in Atlanta from up north and took advantage of a warm day in January to visit the zoo. Some of the animals were active, others were thoroughly enjoying nap time but it was a fun zoo to walk around. We hoped to make it back for their zoo lights but the rain made that not as appealing.

"Good Views of Animals"

Reviewed January 10, 2026 NEW

We visited on a cold weekday, so the zoo wasn't crowded. We were impressed with the number of animals (elephants, rhinos, lions, a tiger, a red panda, sun bears) and how close the animals were. The layout of the zoo is not very efficient, so I felt like we had to retrace our steps quite a bit. The zoo is pretty small, so it wasn't a big deal for us, but on a busy day, it might be difficult to get around.

"Lanterns were awesome!"

Reviewed December 13, 2025

Had an absolute blast. We were in the 5:30 group so we got to see an elephant, an alpaca, and the lions while also seeing the lanterns! Tad overpriced for what you’re doing but still cool!

"Large zoo with plenty of variety"

Reviewed December 06, 2025

Good variety of animals. I went on a colder December day and was basically there by myself which was a fun experience. It was so quiet that I even startled one of the gorillas when he glanced at viewing point and saw me. Most animals were still out despite weather. The only ones I missed were the Giraffes and Orangutans. I feel like parking should be included in ticket price. I enjoyed the Sumatran tiger and elephants the most. I spent about 2 hours in total
