Advice for Visitors

Tips

Best Time to Visit

Many of the Zoo’s animals are more active – and visible – in the morning or during scheduled feedings.

Outside food and drinks are allowed in with the exception of glass, alcohol or straws; straws are not permitted for the safety of the animals.

Don’t hesitate to talk to Zoo volunteers or staff. They’re happy to provide information and tips.

To get the full experience, allow about three hours for your visit. If you're short on time, don't miss the great apes.

Atlanta CityPASS
Exceptional Value and Time Saver to boot!
There simply is no other way to hit the hot spots in Atlanta than with CityPASS.
Summer Fun
Had an amazing "staycation" with my daughter. We were able to experience Atlanta the way it should be. CityPASS is an amazing deal. I will certainly be doing this again!!!
Highly Recommended
I do not just recommend the Atlanta CityPASS; I highly recommend it. This would be our first time vacationing in Atlanta, and it was great. I had no previous knowledge about a CityPASS, but it turned out to be a game changer. We visited all the main attractions without going BROKE!
Great Value!
Over three days, we viewed 5 great attractions, each of which made us all say "wow."
Atlanta CityPASS
We loved it. We were party of seven and this was the best way to see the city. It helped us plan and see 'must-see' places in Atlanta. It actually helped us connect with few other Atlanta pass holders who were also out of town visitors like us.
Atlanta CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7248.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it! I bought a city pass for my trip from Rockford Illinois to Atlanta. Our only goal was to go to the aquarium but ended up buying the city pass, went to the aquarium, zoo and world of Coca Cola! It was easy to purchase, and easy to use. 10/10 recommend.
