Entrada gratuita para un lugar educativo y divertido para toda la familia.
Edison GonzálezAgosto 11, 2016
Hermoso, lo recorrimos en 2 días aprendiendo y tomándonos el tiempo necesario en cada animalito del lugar.
Lumisol Pedrozo RamirezSeptiembre 12, 2017
Amazing!!! El lugar es increiblemente grande y hermoso!
Clarissa LoosFebrero 8, 2015
The zoo is awesome! There are indoor and outdoor exhibits. The indoor ones close at 4:30 in the winter. Admission free, and we paid 22 dollars for parking. We made it through the zoo in about 4 hours.

This zoo makes for a great afternoon with its unusual selection of animals. The zoo was constructed in a very hilly park, so prepare for a challenging walk through it. Great fun for kids!

I couldn't believe he zoo was free! We were amazed and delighted. Loved the sea lion tank and seeing them from the underwater glass view. Lions, elephants, apes, zebras, beavers, birds, reptiles etc.!
Richard RevillaAgosto 14, 2017
Zoo is free parking is not. Street parking can be found. Great to spend the afternoon with the kids but rather hilly.
Megan LillyAgosto 15, 2019
From Bei Bei the panda to Moke the gorilla to Redd the orangoutang-- there is no shortness of CUTE at the zoo! Admission is free, so come for a walk in the morning when the animals are most active.
Rachel PlaterJunio 24, 2013
If you have a toddler, bring the stroller. This zoo is twice the size of the one in Baltimore. Great place for kids and adults..if you want to save some money car pool...0-3 hrs is $16 for parking...
Eliza WeeksSeptiembre 6, 2016
Beautiful day! Not as crowded as I had expected. Bathrooms were clean and the animals all fairly active which was good. The Zoo map though is much to be desired. Great day with the kids overall!
Richard EfthimAbril 21, 2015
Pandas are the highlight, but the ape house, the cheetahs, ate also pretty cool. Be prepared for walking as the zoo is located on a hill. Best to try to park at the bottom of the hill.
Benjamin DoyleJunio 10, 2015
Giant Zoo, easy to get lost without GPS, nothing beats free. even after it closes you can get in to some of the exhibits still. reptile exhibit smells like shit and elephant house is awesome
Eliza WeeksDiciembre 27, 2017
We had a blast bringing in the holiday season with lights and festivities! This was a fabulous FREE event. Fun winter themed snacks were overly expensive, but the rides were priced perfectly.
Tom MilsonAbril 5, 2016
Incredible zoo, such an inspirational and remarkable place. We're so lucky to have the Smithsonian institute to preserve and protect some of our most endangered species.

Woodley Park is the official Metro stop, but Cleveland Park, the next outbound station, is an easier downhill walk. Also, many restaurants in station area.
Erin RathMayo 26, 2016
Love love love this zoo! Plan for lots of walking, and on some steep hills, particularly if you take the metro -- the most sensible way to go, since parking is 20+.

One of the best zoos in the US. Free admission, very photogenic, and a lot to see! A fun activity on any day
Dae JeongAgosto 27, 2013
The zoo is one big hill, so don't park near the entrance, but drive to Lot D on the other side. This way you start exploring going uphill and then the walk back to the car will be a nice downhill.
Avinash LokanathAgosto 25, 2015
Amazing zoo with all the animals and birds which is very well maintained and you need a while day to see everything :)
JanaOctubre 26, 2018
Short walking distances between different exhibits. Nice for a walk in the late afternoon, when it is less crowded.

The food stand near seals and sea lions has sustainable seafood and healthy snacks (fruit cups and frozen grapes). Just had a fantastic smoked tofu roll with pickled fennel.
Allicat22 WAgosto 25, 2017
Parking is $22 per car and a decent walk, often no parking. If you can get here another way for less than that, might be worth it. Very nice zoo!
The Ritz-CarltonDiciembre 12, 2016
Discover why the National Zoo is even more fun during holiday season with Zoolights. The annual event is free of charge and includes live music, winter treats, and more than 500,000 festive lights.
Danielle DaSilvaJulio 13, 2018
Lions, and Tigers, and Pandas, OH MY! Don't forget, admission is FREE for everyone, every day. Great opportunity to pop in and out as needed.

No more pandas. It’s a free zoo but you should still register for online tickets. Good for families as it is very spacious with lots of animals to see
DoraJulio 21, 2010
You've heard about the giant pandas, but did you know there are kid play areas by the farm animal and ground hog exhibits? Powered by ParentsConnect.com
KatFebrero 4, 2022
Terrific place to see all kinds of animals, and the giant pandas are the best!
HarjitAbril 24, 2013
We started with the Asia path and it took us a while before we could locate an animal. I've been to many zoos and this one falls short on animals and the ability to view them.

The latest baby panda at the National Zoo was born Aug. 23, 2013. It's a girl born to Tian Tian and Mei Xiang. Washington pandarazzi will have to wait four months for an in-person look at the cub. Leer más

A fun and free activity, perfect for a date. A great zoo with lots of animals, but set up so there's lots of walking to see everything
Will ShafferOctubre 7, 2018
Must arrive well before 1000 actually opens at 0800 unlike rest of Smthsonian
JasonMayo 26, 2013
Don't go on warm summer weekends. The zoo is free and is beyond crowded. Parking can also run as much as $22, so park on the side streets for free.
ElizabethJunio 23, 2015
Not many food options once you get inside and there is lots of ground to cover. Pack a lunch (or pick one up) and find one of the many shady spits to enjoy it mid-visit.
Maria BEnero 1, 2015
The zoo is so huge and awesome! Lots of animals and exhibits. Make sure u come without a car though, parking os 35$+ 🐺🐼🐒🐯
Tia DingleSeptiembre 22, 2018
I love taking my kids to this zoo because it is a Day full of fun looking animals and spending time my family. Plus the zoo is huge and free
Denise DuttonFebrero 26, 2014
Psst - the best place to kick back and watch the pandas is along the overlook at, naturally, the Panda Overlook Café. Don't tell anybody.
Josh HigginsOctubre 3, 2015
Great zoo, but go when the weather is not too hot or cold. You don't see as many animals out during extreme temperatures.

If you like the zoo but hate the throngs, go early. Zoo grounds open at 6am, and many animals are active then, esp. in summer (See link). Indoor exhibits (and great cats) don't open until 10am though. Leer más
Donise CameronAbril 22, 2013
Saturdays in spring an summer are just a no no crowded and insane. Early am is best and park panther street if you can. Parking at zoo is very overpriced and bring snacks or be prepared to pay!
Emma McTagueDiciembre 22, 2015
There's a great, permanently uncrowded exhibit where you can walk around freely with exotic birds like peacocks and Ravens!

Take Rock Creek Pkwy to the Zoo's back entrance. Lot E fills up last, and it's easier to start at the bottom of the hill so that when you're tired and leaving, you can walk downhill.

Check out the Smithsonian Castle built with 45,000 Lego bricks. It's on display in the visitor center during ZooLights! Leer más

Say goodbye to the pandas, Tian Tian (26), babymama Mei Xiang (25), and their 3-year-old Xiao Qi Ji are leaving for the China Wildlife Conservation Association earlier than planned, by mid-November 23
Julian SiDiciembre 21, 2018
Seriously awesome experience - Well worth the visit even over winter!!
DHR.comSeptiembre 9, 2011
Simply known as the National Zoo, this is one of the oldest zoos in the U.S. Here, you’ll find features such as the Giant Panda Habitat, Great Ape House, and Lion/Tiger Hill. The best part? It’s free!
Keith ConverseSeptiembre 15, 2015
Free admission. Just take the Metro and walk around. Nice in the evening, but most of the animals are resting by then.
Gillian DieboldJunio 9, 2019
Go for a few hours just for the Asia Trail to see the zoos biggest attraction
Rico JonesOctubre 27, 2012

Lizzie HatfieldMarzo 25, 2016
Check out the world famous pandas, Asian elephants, Andean bears, and sea lions! All for free! Avoid during school holidays and weekends if you can.
