National Zoo vs The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore vs Philadelphia Zoo [closed] - Bleeding heart baboon at bright sunny day

I have a chance later this year to visit one of the following zoos:

  • National Zoological Park in DC
  • The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore
  • Philadelphia Zoo

Only considering the quality of the zoo (not distance, parking, or price). What is my best bet?

Is the Maryland Zoo the same as the Baltimore Zoo?

The Maryland Zoo, formerly known as the Baltimore Zoo, was created by an act of the Maryland state legislature on April 7, 1876.

What Zoo is better Baltimore or DC?

Comparing the two, the National Zoo in Washington is much better, no contest.

Is it safe to go to the Baltimore Zoo?

The area immediately outside of the zoo seemed to be very rough and crime-ridden. Perhaps not the best place to be driving a family of young kids. The zoo grounds itself, however, seemed fairly safe. The surrounding area isn't the zoo's fault, of course, but it is important to keep in mind if visiting.

How long does it take to walk through the Baltimore Zoo?

We'd recommend a minimum of 2-3 hours to see most of the Zoo exhibits. There are three sections of the Zoo, the largest is the African collection of animals and with time accounted for getting to and from each area you'll want to budget this time to see most of the animals.
