لیست باغ وحش های واشنگتن,ایالات متحده به همراه نظرات

Amazing zoo and it’s free. Make sure to book your ticket before you go. It’s close to the city, has convenient transit, and crazy amount of different animals. The zoo also have great nature aesthetic. It’s super cozy to walk around the path under the bamboo shade with chill autumn breeze and just right amount of sunshine! A lot of areas are divided into an outdoor zone and an indoor house, so you won’t miss a chance to see the adorable animals no matter they are outside playing or inside eating/sleeping. I really like the Amazonian rain forest house. It’s a two-story building with birds wandering around freely on the lower level and fish ponds. Second floor is a mini rain forest where you can see various types of plants. It also have the mist dispenser to create the warm humid forest feel.

Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE that this place is free. Truly incredible, I've gone back twice. A MUST SEE in Washington. Possibly my favourite thing I did in a whole month in the city!

Advice:
-Bring a refillable water bottle, there are lots of fill stations
-Pack snacks. There are lots of places to eat, some with moderate prices, but you'll want to spend a whole day there.
-Arrive early. Lots of animals take little breaks after lunch, taking naps or going inside where you can't see them.
-Go on a weekday, if you possibly can. Weekends are bananas busy.
-The elephants (Pachyderm plaza) and the orangutans (Great Ape House) are not to be missed. Definitely try and stop at those buildings!
-The Small Mammal House is also surprisingly great, with a huge amount of creatures and lots of variety.
-There are some benches, but not huge amounts, so if accessibility is a concern, just be aware of that. It's all very accessible, but if you need lots of rest stops, make sure you take advantage of them when they come along.
-There are no hippos, no giraffes, no rhinos, and no pandas (as of Dec 7, 2023). If those are your dream animals, make sure to manage expectations!

Great visit! The exhibits are very well laid out so you can see everything without too much back and forth. My suggestion is to start at the bottom and move up. Then when you are tired you just have to walk downhill to your car instead of up.

I suggest at least 4 hours to see everything.

LOVE, love this Zoo. Really amazing 'Free' day out. Of course there are many fun purchases to be made there to support it. Great Layout and even on busy days we haven't felt crowded. We go as often as we can and have a different awesome experience each time. If you haven't ever been or it's been a while -- GO!! See the Pandas before they are sent back to China. That alone is worth a trip. You might catch the Orangutans up high on the o-line which is a real treat. So much information about the animals and conservation efforts - Really incredible place.
