Wild Encounters

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Zoo Atlanta has made some changes to our programming that promote the continued well-being of both our guests and the animals. As such, many programs that include behind-the- scenes experiences will have a delayed opening or will remain on hold after the Zoo reopens for the remainder of 2020. 

If you’ve yearned to get closer to the animals, now you can! Behind-the-scenes experiences with some of our wildest residents turn a trip to the Zoo into the chance of a lifetime.

*Please note that the Giant Panda Wild Encounter will be with one of  the adult giant pandas.
