Nashville Zoo at Grassmere

Laura Caldwell

Lovely! Animals are in excellent condition, enclosures are large. Highlights: Clouded Leopard, Tiger and Cougars. Lovely cold beer available (bring Identification) They do have a restaurant available. Lots of other animals including Rhino. Lots of beautiful birds for the bird lovers and even some Bats. Very impressed with their breeding rehabilitation. Well worth a visit! They also have animal shows with birds and critters as well as their resident sloth (not part of the animal show)

I read some very negative reviews and was very skeptical about visiting but I'm so glad we did! It is an awesome zoo! My kids loved it, as did my husband and I. A lot of the enclosures are in an open environment and the animals looks content and well cared for. There are several things also connected with the zoo like 4D theater, dino trek, zip line, and a few other things (these things do cost extra but are very responsible). The food and beverages are of course a pricey but its to be expected. The staff were helpful and friendly. I will absolutely be visiting again while we are in town.

I loved going to this zoo with a friend. There is a lot of walking and the enclosures were larger than I have seen in a while. The playground was massive, great food options and appreciated that the animal show was very educational. Also being a vet tech, I enjoyed going to the vet building and seeing the babies and a surgery that was taking place. The carousel was amazing as well, fun for all ages. The only downside I had, was there didn't seem to be many water bottle refill stations.

Went on weekday. Not too crowded although lots of school groups. Was able to stay clear of crowded areas and work through to every area. Easy to navigate the exhibits. Plenty of shade. Most of construction is completed and better detour signs in areas under construction. Animals were active and easy to find. Park was clean and modern as were restrooms. Didn't buy tickets online as there is automatic parking charge added to price of ticket and took Uber. Online purchase does not give option to remove the parking charge. Bought tickets at entry, waited about 10 min in line to get ticket. Took about 2 hours to see all exhibits, didn't do any special entry exhibits that require extra fee. If participating in these activities expect to spend more time.
