As a man born and raised in the Baltimore area, I can say that up until today I did not have fond memories of the Baltimore/Maryland zoo. Most of my prior memories were negative and it had actually been quite a while since I visited a zoo. Whenever my family and I want to go to the zoo, we normally take the one hour trek out to Washington DC to visit the Smithsonian zoo . However today we decided to go on an adventure down to the city and I was highly pleased and impressed. We had a great day, everything was clean, there were plenty of animals to see and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The elephants and the lions were not out because of construction to their areas. However everything was great. We will definitely be back sooner than later. Highly recommended.
