The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore

Staff are super friendly, there's a lot of walking, but that's kind of a given with any zoo. Stroller rentals are available, $9 for a double (suggest bringing your own). Member pass is well worth it, and member mornings allow you to ride the train/merry-go-round for free for the first hour. Bring your own lunch/snacks as food is crazy expensive. Lots of good seating for picnics and there's a nice playground too.

This was my first experience and it was enjoyable. Disappointed some exhibits down due to the bird flu, but it's better for the animals to be safe. It's a lot of walking, but very relaxing. It's large enough to not feel overcrowded even if the parking lot is full. Staff is very friendly, even when they are walking by on the walkway. Will definitely return when the penguins are out!

We had a fun time, a quick trip so we didn't see the whole zoo but we will be back. Watching the chimpanzees interact and the baby playing was super cute. I really liked seeing the historic section, the Victorian style cages were interesting and a reminder how far things have come from keeping animals for pure show to the masses with no space or enrichment to today where showing them is important, but their lives and well being is also very important. We even got to see the bears playing with a treat stuffed ball and the lemurs getting treats today. Also I love how much art the zoo has, in particular the Bart Walter bronzes having met him in my youth its always lovely to see his work. Overall I like the Maryland Zoo and will definitely be back.

This is a wonderful place for families with children to come and see the animals. They have fewer animals on display. Unfortunately couldn't see many of them . They have good facilities for the elderly who are unable to walk. They can use the carts or the toy train to move around. Mask is compulsory especially when you go inside the chimpanzee enclosure. I really wish they had more animals to see. One good thing is the enclosures are made in such a way that the animals feel it's like their natural habitat.
