A lot of animals were unavailableStaff kind of rude honestly (at the parking area)Saw some employees completely careless about sanitizing thingsIt was a great walk from one side to the other

I liked the place but when I went some of the animals I wanted to see were asleep or not there also benches in random places other than that alright

The zoo never gets old no matter your age.

Great place for kids of all ages.

Love! Love! Love! Need to go back as you cant possibly cover whole place in one visit.

Still only half open. I suggest waiting longer to visit.

The National Zoo is well kept and well maintained. Although some exhibits, like the pandas and lions, can be crowded there are lots of lesser known animals that are equally entertaining! We had a great time watching the Andean bear forage for food and the beaver wait for his lunch. Youll see something different every time you visit!

Kids had a great time.

Took my grandbaby to the zoo she really really had so much fun.

Animals have plenty of space and are happily enjoyed being here. Excellent opportunities to watch Panda climbing on a tree top, Sloth getting fed, orangutans walking on O line in the air, giant Arapaima swimming in Amazonian rainforest. What a treat, learning environment and its free.

Every time we go there, we have an amazing time, We love it !

Good day spend

Well marked and paved trails with appropriate signage. Many enclosures include multiple viewing areas and options. Areas provide decorations, sounds and added culture to add to the experience.

A great animal park with a wide varity of exhibits

Giving you a three star, because your exhibits were great, but the attitudes of people who work there, is cruel. They talk harshly when you ask a question and dont have close enough bathrooms. A little girl peed her pants and very upset. Why are you victimizing people like this? I know you have a lot of funding. Maybe the funds are miss appropriated. When you celebrate a kids Holiday, you kick people out and not in a nice way. Its rude how its done.

Love the zoo and the people were all extremely friendly and knowledgeable

Perfect place to take your kids! Its free!

The best pharmacy in Kabul

My students actually loved our trip to the Zoo. Im not too fond of seeing animals caged up. But its a nice free place to go. Be prepared to do a lot of walking and maneuvering around people. Also if you are not packing a lunch or something to drink, bring lots of money.

Took my 1yr old here and he loved it. I did too. Didnt get too see my bald eagle tho. And I was a lil sad BC they have no owls here and thats what my son loves. Other than that, this Zoo is really awesome. Mist/shower posts spread out generously. Lots of benches jic you need a break. Beautiful exhibits and friendly staff

Always fun for grandpa and our grandson and me as well. We love our visits at the zoo. We come several times through out the year.

My son got his face painted, an I ate some good food

Zoo is beautiful. Just loved it.

Very well kept and free to visit

Amazonia RainForest in National Zoo DC

The zoo is great.

They have elephants and apes and all that, easy to walk around, but foods and snacks are very expensive

Amazing Time spending!!

I love the national zoo its a very good place to enjoy yourself and learn lots of interesting things about animals.You cant beat free admission and when you become a fonz member aka friends of the national zoo you help with conservation efforts.By the way gifts and food that you purchase at the zoo also donate to conservation.

One of the best free zoos

Nice zoo to be in family

Horrible experience! The worst zoo I ever even to. I understand it is a non-profit zoo but the zoo was horrible. No animals seen in the first 5 cages. The landscape was overgrown and was keep uptight. The zoo was also under construction but it seems like the zoo was just just there just because. Other than that, for a national zoo to be in the DC area, and for it to have an appearance like that was unacceptable.

The place beautiful but miss many of animal and services.In fact, we have not seen a lot of animals, only the elephant was there

Visited with my family circa 1996 - Among the best zoo I have ever visited.

Great Experience

Had a great time

Field trip fun

The new elephant enclosure is amazing. You really get up and close to them.
