Things to do / Travel Guide
No visit to Washington DC is complete without a visit to the National Zoo. Many of animals here live in “natural” spaces separated from visitors by moats rather than the bars of cages. The Giant Pandas from China are among the most popular draws, but there is so much more, from birds, to fish, to the cutest of great apes. Best of all, the zoo is free, made possible by your tax dollars.
Baltimore
Less than an hour up the road, in Baltimore, are two other exciting offerings: a zoo and an aquarium. The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore displays over 200 species including 1,500 birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles, in replicas of their natural habitats.
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is a natural fit for an old port city. The roof has a rainforest, and there are places to wander among the coral reefs. Among the creatures you can see are mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, and amphibians.
