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 7286.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from This CityPASS is not worth it. Not worth it. The 9 day restriction doesn't make sense. You will never be able to visit all of the places without rushing and ending extremely tired. Also, the only ones that are actuality interesting are the acuarium and coca cola world, and even the coca cola one is nothing impressive - old exhibits and just a few, no translation for foreigners and some of them closed. The pass does not include the $20 parking fee, and you are definitely not going to visit things in the same day so be prepared to pay multiple times. It should also include the botanical garden.... anyways, I don't think the price was worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Atlanta is a beautiful magical city in the forest! Our family bought the CityPASS when we visited Atlanta and it was a really good deal. We went to the Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta Zoo & Coca-Cola World and would have liked to see more places on the CityPASS, but unfortunately we did not have enough time to see everything that we wanted to in the city. We fell in love with Atlanta and can't wait to go back and see some more of the beautiful, magical city in the forest!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth it 2 of the venues that I tried to visit during my stay were closed for private events, so simply just lost that money

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great deal CityPASS was a great deal for our family’s recent visit to Atlanta in mid-April 2026. We hit up the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coke, and Zoo Atlanta. With just those three attractions, CityPASS saved us money over the retail ticket prices.
