Get a double dose of wildlife in Atlanta with this zoo and aquarium combo
Find out moreStart your day in Atlanta and end up in the African Savanna. Meet stomping elephants and lanky giraffes. Say Hakuna Matata to warthogs and meerkats, just don't be offended if they don't burst into song!
The zoo is home to one of North America's largest populations of great apes. See the most mysterious of them in action at the orangutan complex. Did you know the name orangutan comes from Orang Hutan, which means 'Person of the Forest'? Well, you do now. And you'll learn lots more fun facts about our animal friends at Zoo Atlanta!
Keep things chill like the Aldabra tortoises - the second-largest species of tortoise in the world. There are monkeys, pandas, otters, and more weird looking birds and reptiles than you'd find in Jurassic Park.
Zoo Atlanta staff and partners are active in field conservation and education programs, community outreach, as well as research. Their dedication to animal conservation and protecting endangered species makes this AZA-accredited zoo a real feel-good family day out.
Combine Zoo Atlanta with other Atlanta favorites. Some things are better together.
