National Zoo Map: ZooDay

Find animals, food, restrooms, routes, Metro, parking, and your live location in seconds. Then turn the visit into a Zoo Hunt kids want to finish.

National Zoo Map: find your way around the National Zoo with live GPS, instant search, family-friendly routes, restrooms, food, parking, animal facts, and a kids Zoo Hunt.

Open the map, see where you are, and search for animals or visitor essentials in seconds. National Zoo Map: ZooDay is built for the moments that decide the day at the DC zoo: hungry kids, tired feet, restroom searches, Metro exits, parking lots, and the question every group asks sooner or later: "Where are we now?"

When everyone is ready for more than directions, turn the visit into a scavenger hunt. Follow animal clues, learn quick facts, and keep kids moving with Rookie Ranger progress.

What you can do:

• See your live position on a DC zoo map
• Search animals, food, restrooms, exits, and parking instantly
• Turn animal visits into a kid-friendly Zoo Hunt
• Tap animal pins for short descriptions and quick facts
• Find food, restrooms, exits, Metro, parking, and accessible parking

• Give kids clues, facts, and Rookie Ranger progress
• Open official pages for passes, hours, rules, food, events, parking, and accessibility

No account. No clutter. Just fast answers and a little more wonder when the zoo day starts moving.
