i had so much fun the animals were nice and i love animals and i havent seen anything like it

We visited in December and the Zoo was not crowded at all. The employees were helpful and friendly. We loved the Cheetah's and large primates. The Lowland Gorillas and Orangutans were our favorites. We spent around two hours here and I highly recommend this to DC visitors. No, it is not like a theme park with guaranteed viewing times or fireworks, but it was a very relaxing and informational visit for my husband and I.

We followed all the zoo's suggestions the main one of getting to the zoo early. What a waste. We arrived at the zoo at 8am and there we no animals to view and the visitor center wasn't even open.

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon at the Zoo.

I like reptiles, there's a lot of stuff to learn

this place had almost every animal you could think of the gift store prices were not bad at all. this zoo is not just for chidren but fun for the whole family

Respectfully, I moved on

This is such a beautiful zoo. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, and the zoo attendants that stand at the various areas are very informative about the animals. I love this zoo! I saw animals here that I never saw anywhere else. It's quite an experience for any age.
