WHAT:Animals
A bankrupt circus owner leaves his prized animals abandoned in the heart of a growing city. Through love and caring citizens, the city of Atlanta was able to turn this once-destined failure, labeled one of the worst zoos in the nation, into a now nationally accredited zoo. Come discover several impressive new exhibits, such as the recreation of the African savanna and the state-of-the-art Panda Exhibit. There’s something for everyone and every kind of schedule at Zoo Atlanta, offering everything from day field trips to auditorium programs, educational tours, NightCrawler overnights, and Scout trips.
