Overview
Zoo Atlanta is located at Grant Park near downtown. Of the zoos we've visited, Zoo Atlanta is one of the best. Most of the habitats are representative of the animal's native environment, and the animals seem quite content.

The habitats and surrounding flora are very plush and tropical at Zoo Atlanta, making a stroll through the park very enjoyable. Sometimes the natural aspect of the habitats makes viewing the animals a little difficult, but be patient and watch. You will not be disappointed.

Here's a partial list of animals that can be found at the zoo.

Zoo Atlanta has an exceptional primate exhibit with several families of gorillas coexisting in their habitats. It's intoxicating to watch the young toddlers playing and teasing the adults and each other.

While visiting Atlanta, we typically stay at Stone Mountain Park, located just southeast of the city. We have visited Zoo Atlanta dozens of times throughout the years, and it remains one of our favorite destinations. We recommend it enthusiastically!
