Reviews of Amazonia (Zoo)

Aaron Smith

Wonderful place to chill and have fun with kids

Mathieu Fecteau

Not really impressive. This is a small area of the Washington Zoo, but since you are there and it is free, it worth the visit. But being from Montreal and having the Biodome there, we were not impress by the content....fishes mainly, some monkeys and birds but nothing more you cound'nt see elsewhare in other location and parks. Again, the zoo is free and the Amazonia area is included, do not expect that much, but if you visit the zoo, let's have a look. It take about 30 minutes to walk through the amazonia building

Edouard Aslanian

Carla Vielma

Mrun Palkar

Josefina Chr

Wonderful place , amazing animals and the apes where so cute

Linda Lartey

Nice learning about animals

Devon Francke

Very fun! Great exhibits

Dustin Price

Not as many animals as you would expect. Everything is way over priced. Like 12 dollars for a simple hotdog over priced no wheel chairs or power devices for the physically disabled or those that caint walk long distance. Also the place was surprisingly filthy inside cages and abroad the park definitely don't want to touch anything.

Peter Yuen

Decently good zoo with a diverse group of wildlife... especially for a free admission.

Aaron Smith

Wonderful place to chill and have fun with kids

Robotic Venom

25 dollars is a steal, and that's just parking so you can bring any amount of people you want, there's no physical entry fee, the exhibits are ai conditioned and there's a variety of great animal enclosures.

I liked this place because of the animals but , the water is warm and you have to be ready to walk far. +its free to get in.

Tom Zelenka

Sooo cool!!!

Kara Gomez

Eh... ..not too exciting

Suzanne Markley

Such a cool place for kids, my toddler could have stood looking at the enormous fish for an hour. Wish there were more animals in the rainforest section, but the ones we saw came very close for us to look at.

Chad Owen

The exhibit was awesome, I've never seen fish so big!

frances wood

Pavel Reshetnik

MeKola Shelton

This is the best part of the zoo. It is peaceful and zen. Come see it

Sam Tores

Is hidden spot of the zoo, you won't find it unless you know it's there... love it

Alex Batts

Definitely one of the harder to find buildings of the National Zoo, however there are a lot of cool animals here. The building mainly showcases Amazon fish and other sea life, however there is also a jungle area above that has a few monkeys and other tree dwelling animals, while also giving you a look down onto some of the sea life from above.

Jessica Hutchinson

Awesome! Good luck finding the sloth! The monkey sitting above your head was so cute !

Alex Kuilan

Omg... great exhibit of massive arapima, piranha and other amazonian fish ..along poison frogs and free birds.

Steven Flores

Walked in on a weekend showers up to the zoo early around 1pm to see all the exhibits. Seen every one by 6 pm. Started by the petting zoo to the Amazonia which had a little but of animals upstairs in the rain forest. Could be better. But im from dc so I grew up seeing the changes in the zoo. So if your from out of town the whole zoo is self is worth the visit. Visit the Asia Trail.

Stephanie Newman

Great place to visit. Great for families.

Debbie D'Andrea

Edward Tj Gerety III MBA

The exhibits are wonderful but the staff are extremely unfriendly even downright rude. They are the definition of govt employees.

Tootie Roker

It was decent, we expected more animals...

Erik Rees

Mind blowing exhibit. Would visit again.

Eric Moyer

My child's favorite part of the national zoo. You can see the animals up-close and from many more angles than in a more traditional cage environment. We've gotten great pictures of the spoon-bills from only a foot away.

Zenovia :

This was one of my favorite parts of the zoo.

Nicole McCurry

One of our favorite zoo attractions!

Beautiful Zoo! Amazing experience!

dirkpitt smith

Not many animals in enclosures at time.

nitin shettigar

One of the best live exhibits I have seen in any zoo. Into the world of amazon that you might not even see much on tv. Fishes, frogs, insects, birds.. this has it all. If you ever visit Smithsonian zoo dont miss this.

Cindy Stubbs

Amazing!

DJ Sanchez

Really large exhibits for animals, great zoo.

Deatle's Teakettles

Very memorable. The arapaima are awe inspiring to see with your own eyes.

S Cornoyer

Could have more... But they had more than ever before! 8th or 9th time there and first time all the animals were in! Was a nice change

Sirena Miller

Very cool.

Ivan Carvba

Can't be any cutter than that! !!

Nikola Mladenovski

Nice place to visit

Brittney Goode

Loved my experience there. I wish it wasn't so cold so we could have seen the cats but it was still worth the 2 and half hour drive

Simpetopiaus

Interesting prehistoric fish to watch

Abhijit Manjunath Bharadwaj

Probably the best part of the zoo. Enjoyed it very much. The trail is such that you feel you are in one of the rainforests. Must see.

Randy Dennis

Who doesn't love the zoo?

Danielle Johnson

Amazonia is one of my favorite exhibits at this zoo! It's hot and just like the Amazon! The birds are loose, so it's a very realistic exhibit.

Antonio Vigil

awesome every time I go! Those Amazon fish are massive!

Nyrie Nicolai

We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed every moment of it

Opeyemi Badmus

Awesome

Michael Aaron

Great exhibition.

Mimi Robinson

Look like the real thing a little bit. They even let the tiki monkey and some long billed bird roam free. They say they are harmless tho. The ground is like the wetlands also. Lots of greenery. Beautiful

Erik Larson

Come on: it's got electric eels and more than one arapaima, an area where the birds fly free around you, at least one little titi monkey...what's not to love?

Theodore Kirin Elliot

That spoonbill is a riot... And my new best friend. Go just for her.

Sunn Mahn

Very nice place for wild life. But closes early

Sheran Poellnitz

The children were excited to see such large fish and stingrays. Great display and nice variety of creatures for kids to see.

Tim Faass

One of the best exhibit's at the National Zoo or really any zoo for that matter. They have a huge selection of fish and reptiles, a personal favorite, and the selection they have are amazingly unique. When I visited the flatbill bird was close enough to touch! Do not fret, we refrained from touching. I am a huge fan of freshwater sting rays so be sure to check them out too.

Ken Robell

Lots of crazy fish. Don't miss the electric eel.

Alex

Kids loved it, however, the stairs going up are quiet slippery and my daughter almost fell.

Rielle MG

Tucked into a back corner of the National Zoo is this amazing building filled with fish, birds, and amphibians. Educational exhibits abound, and large birds roam free! Great place to take a break from the weather when visiting the zoo. Worth it's own visit even if beautiful outside. Kids loved it!

Kimberly Iafolla

Amazing exhibit!

Khrisna Chetry

It was wonderful. It's a nice place to spend quality time with the toddlers.

Michelle Metzger

Great experience

Mike Smith

Love it! Best building at the National Zoo, my only wish is that it were bigger. Take your time walking through it and look for the monkeys, sloth, and other animals roaming loose.

최재영

Both of My lovely Angels love it. They fully enjoy there. Nice temperatures. Fish in tank is good but the best part is in upstairs. You can see small cute monkey and many birds like you can feel you are in the jungle.

Allison Cook

Coolest building at the Zoo. Animals roam pretty freely and the fish are in huge tanks (the fish are huge themselves too!). They have a cool electric eel exhibit and lots of educational material as well as the ability to get up close to the animals. Make sure you walk through the other side of the building. All of the frogs are over there!

Terell Jones

My granddaughter and I love watching the fish in this beautiful tank. We love to walk through the open Amazon jungle exhibit upstairs so we can find the free roaming animals.

Brittany Fells

Amazonia provides an interactive learning experience. The atmosphere is that of the Amazon complete with live animals up close and personal. The temperature adds to the ambiance with a perfect balance of humidity.

Tom Johnson

Very good but need a whole day to get the benefit and suggest you take a packed lunch to avoid expensive alternative.

bemis campos

Experience was awesome but some of the staff its young and they worry more about there cellphones....

M. S.

Definitely worth a second visit

Scout Styron

Jinyi Lee

Great little zoo with good displays. Volunteers are very knowledgeable.

Kirsten Suhr

One of my favorite exhibits at the zoo! The amazon river fish in the displays when you come in look ancient and alien. The non-aquatic animals aren't behind glass, so you can get up close with the spoonbills and have fun searching the trees over head for where that sound you just heard is coming from.

Lauren Conrad

A great place to see plants and animals from the Amazon! The walkthrough area is neat, with the birds so close to you.

Bill Ford

Best exhibit

Jenine Humber

All those poisonous frogs...the colors are absolutely beautiful!

David Kelly

Amazonia House rocks. Piranhas, bird-eating spiders, electric eels spoonbills. And massive Amazonian fish. Also poison dart frogs and coral reefs. Moist warm and fun.

Brenda Duque

My children absolutely loved it

Becky Kuhn

We had a great experience. We got to see lots of animals; everything was clean; things are spread out, but the walk is full of interesting information. I think it's a shame that they charge for maps and don't have many large directories because it's not an easy place to navigate, but we had fun figuring it out

Kevin Wilson

This is my favorite area of the zoo. The "walk" through the Amazon forest is a nice escape from the city. The fauna and flora of the Amazon is amazing.

Diamond Fleming

I love it 5 Star rate but you could get some cars to drive people around

Kris Misra

Small but delightful.

David Parker

I didn't even know this was here!! Amazing!!

Marie Tyree

It's the where's Waldo of the rainforest! I love going upstairs and slowly walking around. The giant fish downstairs are mesmerizing but I love seeing all the birds, monkeys, and the SLOTH upstairs. An overly friendly monkey spooked me. I call it a win because I looked up & finally found the sloth!

Zachary Flaus

Awesome experience!

Kirsten Suhr
