Social Narratives
These social visitation guides touch upon some of the main exhibits guests can encounter on their next trip the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C.
Social narratives are resource guides for individuals with cognitive disabilities and are useful as pre-visit guides to animal areas within the park. The social narratives highlight what visitors may encounter while touring the Zoo. In addition to showcasing animals in the collection, these guides also provide information on quiet areas, educational demonstrations, hands-on activities and artistic works.
Please Note: The social narratives included below do not reflect which exhibits and areas of the Zoo are currently closed to the public. Please refer to the Visit page for more information on what you can expect on your next journey.
