I went to closing time thats the reason it only three stars because I dont know if it was because of that that they didnt have the animals at the exhibit but only three female lionesses were at the exhibit out of four different exhibits I didnt see no tigers play the all the same awesome place definitely recommend going and seeing their amazing to see

I enjoyed the baby orangutan the most, I am looking forward to the giant dinosaurs around the park to be completed how ever my granddaughter is not! They are larger than life and very real looking :) .Busy busy in the am.Bathrooms could use a little cleaning mid day, especially with the crowds.Pack a lunch the concession stand was way too busy.

The Great cat exhibit is so beautiful to visit. It brings you as close as possible to the wildlife. The cats are well maintained and looks energetic and healthy. I tip my hat off to the great staffs of the exhibit. I definitely will be back to visit.

Its really awesome experience to see big cats. Its a giant circle divided in four parts, one has two brother lion, other one has a pair of lion. 3rd one has a pair of tiger and 4th one suppose to have cheetah, but I couldnt see him. Overall nice place to take your children and family.

My daughter and I really enjoyed this exhibit. We spent most of the morning watching the tiger and lions, and they spent most of the morning roaring. I have never heard such vocal big cats in a zoo. Great place to visit with the family.

The lion roard for us very loudly. Was a very fun exibit.

Very well put together. Nice enclosures cool layout. Heard a tiger roar! Ample parking but costs $25

One of many wonderful exhibitions in the national zoo. Id highly recommend visiting the great cats (lions and tigers) as well as the entire Smithsonian Zoo. Initially, I was against zoos, but after visiting the Smithsonian, I realized how much good zoos can do for endangered animals. Even for those who dont typically think of themselves as zoo people, Id recommend spending a few hours here marveling at the wild life.

Copy rights pictures please if you like them I can print them for you. But the zoo is awesome

It’s a nice zoo. Great for kids and families! Love the holiday light show.

This exhibit is too small for 3 female lions. I won’t go on a diatribe about it, but it makes me sad.

Love love love Lions one of my favorite animal in the kingdom they were beautiful

Very put together. Nice enclosures cool layout. Heard a tiger roar! Ample parking but costs $25

As a park its nice to take a stroll since its free entry entry. A zoo its obviously not. Most enclosures had only one animal in them which seems kind of lonely, hope Im wrong.

Wow such an incredible experience, I love animals and my favorite animals are the lions so this place was like paradise for me. I absolutely love it. Well recommend

Very Less Number of Big Cats..

Great animal exhibit that is free of charge. Enjoyable experience

Very cool, but there werent many great cats available for viewing.

Great exhibit with large cats and informational displays. A full circle to walk.

Awesome view. Saw a tiger play with a huge ball in the water, it was amazing.

The lions were active while we were there which made it even more fun to be there. They basked in the sun but then they roared and pawed around. Love seeing these huge ominous animals.

Love this exhibit. Its a circle with big cats. Love it. There are lions and tigers. Theyre usually fairly active. When I got there they had just fed the tiger and he was eating a bunny, then they let the lionesses out and they were roaring and chasing each other around it it was very very cool. Id never seen lions get all rowdy, usually they just lay around.

Watching the tiger and lion walk around freely in their exhibit was awesome.

People come to the National Zoo to see the Pandas (and that makes perfect sense because there are only five places where you can see Giant Pandas in North America) but I love spending most of my time at the Great Cats Exhibit.Among the residents are two (critically endangered) Sumatran Tiger cubs and the newest additions are six lion cubs. Theyre all cute and very photogenic!Another reason I love the Great Cats exhibit is the availably of the keepers who regularly come out to check on things and talk with visitors. Without a doubt this is my favorite place to spend my time when Im visiting the National Zoo.

Large outdoor exhibit, they have room to move around and seemed pretty relaxed.

Brilliant

Very nice experience

This is one of many must see exhibits in the Washington zoo.

Well worth a visit, wasnt many out due to a little rain but some big cats to see

The enclosures themselves arent that great. They probably need some renovations/upgrades, but the cats are usually out. Worth a look if youre at the zoo.

Enjoy the animals and get plenty of exercise

The lion was rotating non stop. Everyone wanted to see it! So fun!

I liked the animals but there werent too many to see and I wished that the would be more

Very nice. I love big cats

We are lucky to see the lions plays by the water side. Normally, lions rest at noon.

The whole zoo is a good pit stop, but the Great Cats exhibit is one of the highlights of the DC zoo.

This was my favorite part.

So cool

Tiger was roaring!!!

Very nice zoo.

Fun to go when its cool as the cats are much more active then

Awesome exhibit.

There are some pretty great cats here :)

Best part of zoo

Very exciting

Awesome

You can appreciate the wonder of nature.

They are great!!

Beautiful mammals, we stayed here in 2014, we enjoyed a lot.

I had to give this 5 stars, otherwise the big tiger staring at me as if I was a small deer covered in ice cream would eat me.

It was good

Roar
