Nashville Zoo Grassmere Map and Brochure (2025 – 2014)
Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Years Active: 1990 – Active
Nashville Zoo Grassmere it’s got its pros and cons. The animal selection is impressive – we’re talking tigers, rhinos, all the crowd-pleasers. They put real effort into educational exhibits, and that’s something to appreciate. Plus, who doesn’t love seeing playful kangaroos or sleepy giraffes?
But let’s spill the tea: be ready for crowds, especially on weekends. Parking is a hassle, so arrive early or consider ride-sharing if you can. And yeah, those zoo food prices are outrageous. Insider tip: pack your own lunch and turn it into a picnic experience.
Here’s where Nashville Zoo really shines: their events. “Zoolumination” is a must if you’re around for the holidays. It’s a truly magical light show. Want something even more special? Look out for their occasional “Night Tours” where you get to explore the zoo after dark.
