"Atlanta deserves a better zoo"

Reviewed September 07, 2025 NEW

Spent 2 hours or so here on the FRI before Labor Day, starting shortly after 11 am. I love zoos, and have been to several in the USA (including the best, San Diego). Anyway, Zoo Atlanta was a bit run down in my opinion. Their cafe prices for lunch were outrageous: $42.50 for two sodas, a cheeseburger with fries, and a turkey panini with a bag of chips. Best part of the zoo were the gorillas: they had 3 separate areas: one for the younger apes, one for bachelors, one for senior apes. At least 15 gorillas. 3 lazy male lions. 1 Sumatran tiger (hard to see). About 5 elephants. 2 white rhinos. 3 or so giraffes. The giant pandas formerly at the zoo went back to China in OCT 2024.

"Sad And Depressing Sights at Zoo Atlanta"

Reviewed August 19, 2025 NEW

We went to Zoo Atlanta to help celebrate my partner's birthday. It was sad and depressing to see all the animals confined to such small cages. I thought they had made improvements over the zoo of old. Sadly, they have not.

"Overprized with no animals. No dependent of Military member discounts or spouses"

Reviewed August 12, 2025

The price is an insane amount to pay for what the zoo offered... or really didn't offer. The zoo consisted of mainly birds and have ZERO concessions/food/bev places open, which is INSANE. Had some exhibits with no animals. This zoo should only be worth $15 a person NOT $30. AND if you're a military family, no dependents will get in free, only the sole person serving. SMH ATL do better.

"Zoo Fun"

Reviewed July 13, 2025

So much fun. The zoo keepers are great. There are a lot of interactions (you can feed a giraffe for only $4!) Highly recommend going right when they open (especially if you go in the summer) because the animals are out. 10/10

"Cute Zoo"

Reviewed June 08, 2025

Our family enjoyed this zoo as it has a nice layout and plenty of interesting animals to see. The elephant yard and gorilla areas were highlights for the visit in particular. We spent about 5 hours there with stopping for a longer lunch.
