If
you
are
a
local
or
just
visiting
from
out
of
town,
the
National
zoo
is
a
must
go-to
location.
They
have
a
wide
array
of
animals
to
sight
see
and
interactive
learning
activities
throughout
the
park.
Entrance
is
free
for
everyone,
but
you
should
note
you
do
have
to
download
tickets
before
entering.
You
can
bring
your
own
food
in,
no
alcohol
is
allowed
in
from
outside
but
is
sold
within
the
park.
As
a
local,
I
come
here
for
the
experience
and
also
to
walk
when
it
is
warm
outside.
Parking
is
slightly
a
hassle
as
you
have
to
find
parallel
parking
on
the
narrow
streets
of
DC,
the
zoo
also
has
parking
but
it
is
$30
per
car.
The
shows
are
now
back,
which
i
really
enjoyed
this
interactive
bird
show
hole
I
was
there.
My
only
suggestions
are
removing
the
lines
for
indoor
exhibits.
Masks
are
not
required
nor
is
social
distancing
within
the
park,
but
they
limit
the
amount
of
people
in
some
of
the
indoor
exhibits
causing
extensive
lines
which
took
about
15-20
minutes
to
get
inside.
Also,
the
bathroom
facilities
were
not
clean
and
did
not
have
paper
towels.
Additionally,
there
was
hardly
an
security
and
no
one
checking
bags
at
entrance.
Just
a
heads
up
I
also
went
on
Memorial
Day
weekend,
in
the
morning
there
wasn’t
much
of
a
crowd
but
after
12
there
were
so
many
people
it
was
difficult
to
walk.
I
would
recommend
during
the
weekday
or
coming
at
opening
if
you
want
less
crowd.
Overall
though
I
had
a
wonderful
experience
and
will
be
back.
