Woodley Park–Zoo/Adams Morgan is a station on the Red Line of the Washington Metro. Located at 24th Street and Connecticut Avenue Northwest, it serves the neighborhoods of Woodley Park and Adams Morgan in Northwest Washington.
The station opened on December 5, 1981. Originally known as simply "Zoological Park", in 1979 its name was changed to "Woodley Park–Zoo" because neighbors believed that the name was misleading, as the Smithsonian National Zoological Park (commonly known as the National Zoo) is located .5-mile (0.80 km) from the station. The Adams Morgan neighborhood lies at the other end of the nearby Duke Ellington Bridge, and "Adams Morgan" was added to the station name in 1999 to reflect this.
At 160 feet deep, it is the second deepest station in the system.
