YI YangMarch 27, 2015A little bit far away from the school. But definitely worth your to go there. Tuesday afternoon is free for local residents. Remember bring your student ID card.
Social News NetworkNovember 16, 2013One of the best zoos in the country! The enclosures are wonderful and spacious. A great array of animals to see - it's also lovely not to see them pacing like at many other zoos.
Caterriana FaulknerNovember 12, 2018I have been to several zoos over the years with our little sister and cousin. So much easier to see the animals up close in a natural environment visiting from other places be sure to stop by

Lekhraj MaheshwariJuly 29, 2017Fashion jewelry has always been an important part of accessorizing in women especially young people because it allows you to be as stylish as you choose without going overboard http://www.epch.in
Nathan JonesMay 10, 2016Make sure to park along the free street parking and not on the Greensward, it'll save you $5 and the Greensward!
Rachel StarksMay 27, 2015My favorite parts are always the cats and the primates. The zoo has an awesome area for the polar bears & wolves in the back of the zoo in new enclosures.
Ashley WrightJune 10, 2017This is the best zoo I've ever been to! The animals seem happy and the facility is beautiful and huge!
- If you go to Stingray bay...1. It's AWESOME!!...2. Take a towel and a change of clothes for the kids! Your gonna get Wet but its worth it! Grab some food for them too for $2
Memphis TravelJanuary 13, 2012They often feed the Grizzly Bears around 1pm at Teton Trek near the pond. It's a great way to see these big bears up close and personal. Check the daily schedule for details.
Kim LambertJuly 9, 2013Best zoo I have been to. I like to go during the holidays for hot chocolate & to ice skate. My son likes the reindeer. Cat Country is AWESOME!
Chris WeemsSeptember 30, 2016Like legitimately amazing. If you're visiting Memphis the zoo is a must do.
Scott CasselApril 6, 2013My family enjoyed this zoo very much. Easy to walk around, great exhibits. Be sure to feed the giraffes if you can...very cool.- Andrea GonzalezJuly 8, 2014I love this place. It's really relaxing and amusing. My favorite spot it's the animals of the night and the pandas 🐼❤
Alyssa McArthurMarch 11, 2013The red and giant pandas were my favorite! I loved how the whole zoo was very accessible!!
If you have little ones, pack swim trunks, bathing suits, and towels in the summer. The geyser at Teton Trek and the fountain at the entrance are faborite places to splash!- Jacque PApril 5, 2015Terrific zoo! Very underrated! First date here wherein my boyfriend and daughter me. Memories. Ice Skating in December under a white tent was so amazing.
Candace F.November 18, 2013This zoo will make an animal lover out of anyone. One of the best zoo's i've ever visited. Go see the pandas. Immediately.

Huey's RestaurantsAugust 24, 2011The Memphis Zoo has tons of fun events every year: Zoo Brew, Zoo Rendezvous, Zoo Boo, and much more! They all help fund the animals, so check them out!
Melissa HMay 29, 2014Definitely the best, well-kept zoo I have ever been to. Also one of the 4 zoos in the U.S. that have giant pandas!! 🐼- HISTORYJuly 8, 2010This zoo was created in April of 1906. It is home to more than 3,500 animals and over 500 different species. The Overton Park has been a major tenant of the zoo for the past 100 years.
Carla JeanFebruary 25, 2012If I Was A Disney Princess I'd Have To Be Jasmine, I Rode A Camel At The Memphis Zoo!! Some Places You Get Smashed Pennies, Here You Get Wax Mold Animals!!
If you're going to see Birds and Bees. They open at 10am and close at 4:45. Best time to go is in the morning when they're hungry.
BramduffMay 26, 2014The pandas are cute, but don't miss the river otters playing right next to them. Adorable.- I've been a member since my boys were old enough to walk. We've used this single membership at parks countrywide. Worth it!
DIVINE MagazineAugust 21, 2011Find Inspiration By Observing The Most Interesting Animals & Creatures On The Planet. All In The Most Beautifully Designed Zoo On This Side Of The Mississippi!
Be sure to get an annual membership. The zoo hosts the best members-only events throughout the year - don't get left out!
Laura AmoleApril 22, 2012The zoo has some impressive exhibits, but I'm still waiting for the Hippo exhibit to get a makeover! I heard it's coming soon!
Michelle McKeeMay 10, 2010Creatures of the Night is a must! Along with eating at the Cat House Cafe while looking @ the monkeys out the window. Sweet potato fries are expensive but worth it!
Buy a membership. It pays for itself after 3-4 visits! It's the best gift we get each year!!!
The Commercial AppealJuly 6, 2010Rated the best zoo in the country. Visit the new Teton Trek exhibit.- The Commercial AppealJune 4, 2010Go see the pandas and monkeys. There are also tons of great family shows throughout the day.
Ben KeslerJanuary 20, 2013To quickly get to the Pandas walk through the primate exhibit. No need to spend money on the tram.
Morgan WatsonJanuary 23, 2018Guess our first visit wasn't at a good time of year. No red pandas, no regular pandas, no polar bears :(
Support the zoo by getting a membership. It pays for itself in 2 visits!
