I have gone to the zoo vs I have went to the zoo

The correct phrase here is "I have gone to the zoo." “Gone" is the past participle form of the verb "go" and is used with the auxiliary verb "have" to form the present perfect tense. "Went" is the past simple form of the verb and isn’t used in this context.
