Zoo Atlanta has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1889. What started as a Victorian-era curiosity has blossomed into one of the city's most beloved institutions.

The journey from Atlanta's first zoo to a leader in global conservation is marked by key milestones, including the legacy of Willie B., the beloved gorilla, and the pioneering giant panda program. These icons highlight the zoo's transformation from a modest picnic destination to a renowned institution in animal care and conservation. Over 125 years since its establishment, Zoo Atlanta stands as a beacon of conservation, overcoming challenges and celebrating triumphs along the way!

Today, the Zoo invites you to experience the wonders of the animal kingdom and to be part of an inspirational journey that continues to make a significant impact in the world.

Be part of a story that's been “un-fur-gettable” for generations and experience the incredible bond between humans and animals.
