Getting to Zoo Atlanta on MARTA requires taking a bus, unless you want to walk 30 minutes from the nearest station, E2 King Memorial.
Here are your bus options for getting to the zoo:
- Bus 97 from the N2 Civic Center station. This route will also get you to the Georgia Aquarium, but the drawback is that it is a much longer ride to get to the zoo if you take this route.
- Bus 397 from the E2 King Memorial or E3 Inman Park station. This bus ride is quite a bit shorter and will get you to the zoo quicker.
The zoo sits in historic Grant Park, which has a nice public pool, wooded paths, playground, tennis and more. The zoo is not very visible from the street, but sits in the southern end of the park. Just let your bus driver know where you plan to go and he/she will help direct you. Next to the zoo you will also find the Cyclorama and Civil War Museum, which has the world’s largest painting (of the Battle of Atlanta).
