Give Today
Now more than ever, we need your support. Make a donation to the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute today!
The Zoo is free, but Entry Passes are required for all guests, including infants.
Some areas of the Zoo remain closed for the safety of visitors, staff and animals.
Follow the Animal Adventure Guide using your mobile phone or device during your next Zoo visit to learn more about the animals you see. Enjoy short videos, "act it out" challenges, species stories and more.
