National Zoo . 📍3001 Conneticut Ave, NW DC 🚗 Street Parking or $30 zoo parking (prepay) 💵 Free but must reserve tickets online ⏰ 8a-4p in winter, 8a-6p in summer; exhibits 9a-4p in winter 9a-6p summer 🚽 Yes 🍔 available to buy & you can bring your own . What have I been missing?! I haven’t been back to the National Zoo since college (over ten years ago😅). I remembered it being so bare… so not the case! I was so impressed with all of the exhibits & animals. Things not pictured are plenty of spots to go to the bathroom, eat, buy memorabilia, a playground & a carousel. My kids absolutely loved everything. I don’t know if we went at the perfect time or what (11a on a Saturday with 55 degree temps), but almost all of the animals were up, active & visible. Now.. have your walking shoes ready because baybbeeeee the way back to the front is all uphill. It feels like you’re doing 12 3 30 #IYKYK . All in all, I truly can’t believe it’s free.. dare I say better than the Baltimore zoo? Or even better than the aquarium especially for those prices and you do still get to see some aquatic life - fishes, turtles, sea otters, eels etc.. highly recommend.. we found street parking for free but as said above, you can pay the $30 for zoo parking which would be the only expense. There is frozen yogurt, a restaurant, Starbucks right across from the zoo on Connecticut ave so we stopped to get froyo before heading back to the car! Again, highly recommend! . #dmvfamtravel #dmvmom #dmv #mdmom #marylandmom #dcmom #vamom #virginiamom #nationalzoo #thingstododc #dcmomblogger #dclife #dmvphotographer #dmvevents
