CJ WallingtonNovember 23, 2012If the pandas are outside, try taking pictures from the lower observation level. Produces your classic "cute panda" photo.
Kim ComptonAugust 3, 2012A must see and has an indoor exhibit for hot summer days. Only one of 4 Zoos in the US which has Pandas.
Christina Morgan (Abeyta)July 13, 2014The zoo is way bigger than it looks, plan for all day and if possible drive one of the FEW places in DC with free parking!
JH H-DSeptember 19, 2019You’re lucky if they are awake, and if they are, get ready for everyone to be getting that perfect shot
Kayla RaineApril 26, 2014If you get here by 8:30, the Pandas are in the outdoor yard and you beat the crowds to both the parking lot and all the viewing areas.
Tommy BarbourApril 5, 2013Use the iOS app during your visit to see when the pandas are up and active instead of laying around!
Erin RathMay 26, 2016Even the adult pandas are adorable. The little one absurdly so! Well worth the wait.- Liza TApril 6, 2012Awesome and cute pandas but lots of crowds. Worth it- only one other panda exhibit in the US!
GrantBwpgApril 27, 2013Need the toilets? Skip the ones at the visitor centre and walk to the panda area. No line ups for the washrooms!
Holly Spencer-DunnAugust 27, 2015Fantastic! Great panda enclosure! I'd even go so far to say better then a San Diego zoo!
GinaNovember 19, 2011The zookeepers were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and made the entire experience so much better.
Chris FormanMay 26, 2013BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH TO THE ZOO! Ordered fries and a Coke and it took 50 minutes.
Peter Adler AschJanuary 14, 2014Go see the red pandas instead! They are smarter, more beautiful, and more active.
Keith ConverseSeptember 16, 2015There was a baby Panda born in August. So, the Panda House was closed on Sep 15.
Grab some coffee and bring a book and just relax. You earned it.

"Find Elizabeth, one of the red-shirted weekend volunteers--she loves reptiles and knows a ton. Great with kids, too."
