Chattanooga Zoo Review

We live in North Georgia, so we were able to make this a day trip. This was a great zoo! When arriving in TN...stop at the Welcome Center and get a coupon good for one kid to get in free!

The zoo (May 2008) was under construction. Most the exibits were done, they were mainly working on the entranceway. It was looking amazing. I'd like to go back and see the completed work.

This was so reasonable. An adult can get in for a mere 6 dollars! This is not the biggest zoo on the planet, but we were there for at least 2-3 hours. There was not a massive crowd either!

The parking was five dollars. There was plenty of space to park.

They had gorillas, monkeys, a petting zoo, birds, and some red pandas.

 If you are planning a trip to the area to see the wonderful aquarium and downtown Chattanooga area....don't miss the zoo!

The only downside....The area of town was a bit like going to downtown Atlanta....well not quite as bad as downtown Atlanta, but I wouldn't advise going at night. The daytime was fine. We saw only one homeless guy, but not at zoo...just in the area before we got to the zoo.
