Does Zoo Atlanta have alcohol?

Located next door to the Zoo's all-new gourmet grilled cheese truck, the SweetWater Beer Garden features six rotating taps from Atlanta's hometown craft brewery. Whether you prefer a classic pale ale, hoppy IPA, or easy drinking lager, enjoy a cold beer and grab a snack before continuing your journey through the Zoo.

Does Zoo Atlanta have bears?

The Zoo's pair of sun bears, Xander and Sabah, love to make themselves a nice comfy bed that is just right to their own specifications. One of the greatest forms of enrichment for them is to provide a nice large pile of hay/browse/leaves for them to utilize.
