 Grant Park - Atlanta by Redlats
Part of the park is leased to Zoo Atlanta. Zoo Atlanta is a small zoo on 37 acres with some cool animals - an African theme with lowland gorillas, giraffes, black rhinos, etc. As well the asian exhibit has two giant pandas.
Entrance to the zoo in 2004 is $16.50 for adults. Allow a 1/2 day to see everything. Its website is http://www.zooatlanta.org
Also at Grant Park is the Atlanta Cyclorama - a civil war museum which features a 360 degree painting. You view the painting from a revolving platform while being provided with narration, etc.
Entrance to the Cyclorama in 2004 is $6.00 for adults. Allow an hour to see it. Its website is http://roadsidegeorgia.com/site/cyclorama.html Leave a Comment

I went here in sixth grade. It was a typical zoo visit. Not a whole lot stood out in my mind. Except they have a really nice lawn out front for picnics and stuff. Leave a Comment

 You can hear him all over
the Zoo! by MatthewMetcalfe
The current highlight at the Zoo are Two Giant Pandas. The Exhibit is well done and you get a pretty good view of them. There are also the standard Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Giraffes, and Gorillas. Most of the new exhibits provide a great view although the Gorillas are hit or miss and the Tiger is very difficult to see unless he's in the water.
Grant Park is great for a Picnic although there is a McDonalds on site. Adjacent to the Zoo is the Cyclorama which is a 360 degree mural of the battle of Atlanta during the Civil War. Leave a Comment

 atlanta zoo by Jim_EliasonLeave a Comment

I am a native Atlantan, and remeber the really bad days of the Atlanta Zoo. I have just returned from the Zoo in 2006 and am in Awe. I have been all over the world and this is a world class Zoo. People assume - without oging - that if the Zoo is in Atlanta it's no good. They are idiots! The people are actually enclosed and the animals roam free. Go early in the AM before it gets hot - choose what you want to see the most and go there fisrts. We had the gorilla habitat all to ourselves at 9:30 on a Saturday AM. We saw TAZ the silverback run down the hill beating his chest; we saw lots of moms and babies; we watched the animals eat, we watched the bachelor males playfight. Go to one of the training sessions to see how the handlers examine the animals daily and of course check the feeding schedule. The nice thing is that the zoo is small enough to be manageable. The zoo offers good lesons on how to live in our world with the rest of nature. After seeing a zoo as bad as it could be, I cried to see what my city had accomplished. God bless them for the good work they've done!!!!!
