Bedste tid at besøge

Weekday mornings right when gates open at 8am are the quietest, and animals are most active after their overnight rest. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable weather for walking the outdoor habitats.

Budgettips

Entry is always free, but parking costs $30 for non-members on weekdays and $35 on weekends if you reserve in advance. Take the Metro directly to the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan stop instead, saving money and avoiding parking hassles.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Hjem for mere end 2.100 dyr på tværs af 390 arter, mange af dem sjældne eller truede som sumatratigeren og guld løvetamarin. Zooens kæmpepandaer har været en stor attraktion siden 1972, og zooen er helt gratis at besøge hver eneste dag.

Højdepunkter: Zooen driver et stille, hemmeligt bevaringsprogram, der med succes har avlet snesevis af sortfodede ildere, et af Nordamerikas mest truede pattedyr, og hjulpet med at bringe dem tilbage fra randen af udryddelse. Du kan se disse små ildere susende rundt i deres huler under dyrepasser-foredrag, en syn de fleste besøgende går forbi.

Insidertips

  • Skip the long midday panda queue and visit the Asia Trail first thing in the morning when the pandas are most active and eating breakfast.
  • Bring a refillable water bottle and use the filling stations scattered throughout the zoo to stay hydrated without buying bottled water.
  • The Kid's Farm area near the Connecticut Avenue entrance is rarely crowded and lets children pet friendly goats and donkeys up close.
  • Arrive by 9am on weekends to secure one of the limited same-day panda viewing passes available at the Visitor Center.
