About this
tour

What started as a few species of animals living on the National Mall has grown enormously over the past 100+ years, into the treasured National Zoo delighting visitors today. Smithsonian employee William Hornaday was inspired to start an effort to save American Bison when he visited the western U.S. and saw how depleted their numbers were. Thanks to his efforts, the National Zoological Park officially opened in 1891, and its employees have been working to save more species ever since.

This Let's Roam Scavenger Safari Hunt will help you experience the zoo in a new way to get the most out of your visit, and make sure you have the most fun! You'll see the giant pandas, and learn about the efforts being made to protect this vulnerable species. You'll stomp around with the elephants, get silly with the giant apes, and maybe even make a splash in the Tide Pool. Admission to the zoo is always free, so what are you waiting for? Buy your tickets today and get ready for an adventure!

You can do our interactive tour at any time. Explore the sights of Washington, D.C..

Some of what you'll see: Great Ape House, Giant Pandas, Speedwell Carousel
