Zoo Atlanta
Historic zoo in Grant Park, famed for its western lowland gorilla troop and a wide range of African animals.
Opened in 1889, the zoo is best known for its western lowland gorillas. It is also home to more than a thousand animals, including giraffes, elephants, rhinos and red pandas, and visitors can ride a miniature train and a carousel. The giant pandas once housed here were returned to China in 2024. Tickets cost about $30 (cheaper if bought online), and parking in Grant Park is paid.
