Giant Panda Mornings: A Farewell Visit

Back to All Programs

Head to the Zoo early to visit with and say farewell to Yang Yang, Lun Lun, and the twins*.

During this 45-minute experience, you will have exclusive access to the public viewing area in The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation Giant Panda Conservation Center before the Zoo opens.

An Educator will lead you through the Zoo where you will get a glimpse into the morning of animals and their care teams. At the giant panda viewing areas, the Educator will provide a short, guided tour. After the tour, enjoy some time to view the pandas on habitat, interact with biofacts, and write a farewell. Educators will be on hand to discuss our partnership with the Chengdu Research Base, conservation, and giant panda care at Zoo Atlanta.
