What more to say? It’s a Smithsonian approved site! And the only zoo, at that. On a serious note though, there’s a lot to unwind here, making for a good whole day’s trip.

What more to say? It’s a Smithsonian approved site! And the only zoo, at that. On a serious note though, there’s a lot to unwind here, making for a good whole day’s trip.
The Smithsonian National Zoo is also one of the very good places to go to this place. The zoo has a lot of animals and plants. The whole zoo is quite big. Many animals are very cute.
One of the most famous zoos in the United States. You can see our national treasure giant pandas in it. Foreigners really like pandas. Many people watch. The animals in the zoo look good.
This zoo is the largest zoo near Washington. On the way to find this zoo should be in the mountains. The roads in the mountains are chaotic. It is really not easy to find without navigation, but the environment is very good. No tickets are charged, but parking is 22 dollars regardless of the time. It's almost like receiving tickets. But there are pandas sent by China to the United States. There is no Chinese group here. They are all Americans. Americans like Chinese pandas very much. American children have reached the fever stage for Chinese pandas. I don’t think so. One person has to buy a panda doll. The companion said that I was sick and came to the United States to see the Chinese pandas. I said that the Chinese foreign minister must see the international students when he comes to the United States. Our people come to the United States.
The most well-known animals here are giant pandas, in addition to a variety of birds, gorillas, big cats, Asian elephants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, aquatic animals and small mammals.
Quite a good country, the zoo choice is also very diverse, you can choose to walk around, the scenery is very beautiful, it is a highlight of the trip along the way, I feel very happy, but there is no problem with the place I want to go, I can learn all aspects here, The surrounding environment is also very good, come here, it will feel good value for money, it is worthwhile.
The National Zoo covers an area of 65 hectares and has more than 470 animals, with more than 3,600 animals, including cheetahs, white tigers, Sumatran tigers, Asian lions, gibbons, lowland gorillas, giant pandas and so on. There is an Amazon jungle area that completely mimics the Amazon rainforest, worth visiting.
