Visiting the National Zoo?
Please see our tips on visiting the Zoo. Find out what animals you can see at the Zoo, when we are open, when our special events are, and how to plan a field trip.

Students and Educators
We don't have the resources to answer everyone's questions about animals, what it's like to work at a zoo, or how we design zoo exhibits. We're unable to arrange student-staff interviews, job shadowing or answer a list of questions. Please see our fact sheets, field trip info, staff interviews, Homework Helper, and other great education resources.
