User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsI came here on New Years this year and it was a pleasant part of the day for myself and my husband. The zoo was not too hard to find and our main reason we wanted to go: FREE ENTRY. How sweet is that?? After realizing DC isn't as warm as I imagined and buying a $20 sweater by the white house I told hubby we have to do something I want, which means Museums or the like. This was right up my alley.
If you can't walk uphill then you should probably park at the bottom liek we did so that you can enjoy walking down on the way back to your car. They closed around 5 I think and a quarter of the exhibits were closed but we still very much enjoyed ourselves.
User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsi found the zoo to be very inviting. a little hard to get to but it was nice. my kids and i had a wonderful time. the animals were pretty easy to see and the cages seems to be big enough to hold the animal confortably. heck, they are in a zoo, and you are in DC. it was a good visit and we hope to be able to go back again this year.
User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsMy family was disgusted by the inadequate enclosures and dismal conditions that the animals live in. My kids prefer a nature walk through Great Falls over the hot, smelly maze of the zoo any day.
