Advice for Visitors

Tips

Best Time to Visit

Many of the Zoo’s animals are more active – and visible – in the morning or during scheduled feedings.

Outside food and drinks are allowed in with the exception of glass, alcohol or straws; straws are not permitted for the safety of the animals.

Don’t hesitate to talk to Zoo volunteers or staff. They’re happy to provide information and tips.

To get the full experience, allow about three hours for your visit. If you're short on time, don't miss the great apes.

Atlanta CityPASS
Exceptional Value and Time Saver to boot!
There simply is no other way to hit the hot spots in Atlanta than with CityPASS.
Summer Fun
Had an amazing "staycation" with my daughter. We were able to experience Atlanta the way it should be. CityPASS is an amazing deal. I will certainly be doing this again!!!
Highly Recommended
I do not just recommend the Atlanta CityPASS; I highly recommend it. This would be our first time vacationing in Atlanta, and it was great. I had no previous knowledge about a CityPASS, but it turned out to be a game changer. We visited all the main attractions without going BROKE!
Great Value!
Over three days, we viewed 5 great attractions, each of which made us all say "wow."
Atlanta CityPASS
We loved it. We were party of seven and this was the best way to see the city. It helped us plan and see 'must-see' places in Atlanta. It actually helped us connect with few other Atlanta pass holders who were also out of town visitors like us.
Atlanta CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7306.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding So easy to use and such a great deal. Doesn't include parking pass so do that ahead of time separately to save money! Had a great time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Electronics-Free Time with Grandma! I purchased Atlanta CityPASS® for the week while my five grandchildren, ages 5 to 12, were staying with me and my husband had to work. It was awesome! The entire experience was completely manageable for a youthful grandmother handling five children on her own. The kids got out of the house, learned new things, stayed away from electronics, and burned off so much energy that they slept beautifully every night! If you’re looking for an affordable way to entertain, educate, and tire out the kids, CityPASS is your ticket. The value was incredible. I could not believe how many wonderful attractions we visited for a fraction of what we would have paid by purchasing individual tickets. I also loved having nine days to use the tickets. Keeping everything organized in the CityPASS app and adding the tickets to my Apple Wallet made accessing them seamless and easy. I will absolutely purchase CityPASS again whenever we have visitors in town. I highly recommend Atlanta CityPASS!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from TIME AND MONEY SAVER Such a good price for unforgettable moments!! I paid almost half of what I would’ve paid for all of these attractions. CityPASS is a time and money saver for all major cities. I can’t wait to use it again on my next vacation

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Family trip Family spent two days in Atlanta. I highly recommend this pass. It’s cheaper in the long run and you don’t have to keep up with so many passes. It’s on your phone and ease to use. We visited several places with this pass. Worth the money for sure

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for families! Really fun and easy to use! I would switch world of coke and football hall of fame with children’s museum, Atl museum, the high, or the botanical gardens. But my family of 4 had a great and fun filled week
