I think that the Chattanooga zoo is a wonderful, small zoo and should be reviewed as such. If you are going there expecting it to be the size of Zoo Atlanta or a comparable zoo, you are going to be disappointed. They do not have any big animals such as giraffes or elephants, but they do have numerous smaller animals.... more

We have visited over 50 zoos nationally and have built up some real time experience to base our review on. Chattanooga honors the Zoo card and granted us free admission. It is a small to medium sized zoo but has some nice habitats and has been rebuilt over recent years. We had fun on a hot day walking through and... more

I am not much of a complainer, but the Chattanooga looks more like a run down pet shop, than a zoo. It is very tiny, on most of the exibits there is only 1 animal in the cage (if any). At least 5-10 of the exibits did not have anything in the cages. I took my 2 and 6 years... more

Went to the zoo on a field trip with my 4 year old. The zoo is small but laid out neat. The animals where easy to view and the kids loved the petting zoo. It looks like there was alot of expansion going on, so next year it could be even better. And the price is great. Only 6 bucks... more

ABout the worst place I have been. I come from a small town and the zoo is great. Chattanooga zoo is small, which in itself is not a problem. However, the exhibits are run down, the layout is poor and the animal selection is poor. That is, if you can even spot the animals in the exhibits. I was not... more

I had free admission because I am a member of the Birmingham Zoo. The Chattanooga Zoo was surprizingly nice for a small zoo. You can see animals close up and in nice surroundings. more

We just came back from visiting the Chattanooga Zoo. What a cute place! It is very small, and we are used to a large city zoo, but my kids had a great time! They especially loved the red pandas! We didn't know if they looked more like a fox, racoon, or panda! My kids loved it because the animals were... more

The Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park is a cute litte zoo. It isnt one of the largest zoos, but it is nice and clean. The animals here appeared to be happy and healthy. They have a nice cotton top tamarin habitat & they are adorable. But--One of my favorite exhibits here were the raccoons. You dont see raccoons at most... more

As other writers have mentioned, don't go into this zoo looking for a big city zoo atmosphere. But if you take the time to walk around, really look at and read everything you can find you can spend the better part of an afternoon here. I liked it because it was small enough that you could walk around it a... more

From a local: The zoo is very run down and definitely not worth the money. It is also very small and just not much to see. I wouldn't even waste my time. more
