What People Are Saying About Nashville Zoo
Featured Review

In Short – Located on more than 200 pristine, spring-fed acres in the heart of Nashville, Grassmere is the city's primary zoological park. On display are more than 350 animals, including Bengal tigers, zebras, cheetahs, ostriches and river otters. Families will enjoy the old Croft House, built around 1810 and now home to a working farm exhibit and petting zoo. The 66,000-square-foot jungle gym near the amphitheater is a great way to see children in their natural habitat.

Inaccessible
by earltdickersonjr
The zoo at Nashville is the most inaccessible I’ve ever been to. The parking for handicap persons does not meet federal guidelines (ADA.gov Not enough Van accessible spaces) Wheelchair bound persons are charged full price but cannot get to every exhibit. The concrete is texturized to be very difficult to chairs. Yet I saw eight persons in three hours in wheelchairs. Duh! Serve the public or at least meet federal regulations.

Best Zoo ever
by Sally14
I love the zoo. I am a member so I can get in for free. The food in the little cafe is always good. I love seeing all the animals and touring the grounds around the Croft Family home. However the cemetary needs some maintence like weeding, the grass is always high and its hard to read the markers. I love getting discounts in the gift shop and snack areas. I love the Red Pandas and The Tiger Leopard Cubs and the Flamingos are so cool. It might not be the biggest Zoo in the world but it is still really cool to visit.

Love the Zoo
by carrie2065
My family loves the zoo we have a membership, and have found it worth the price!
The zoo is always clean and the animals have more natural environments than many other zoo's i have visited. The animals seem pretty content. There is a lot of walking but many of the trails are shaded so even on the hot days of summer its not too hot.
I have a young child and he loves riding in the stroller and seeing the animals the fish/reptile building is great because you get to see many creatures up close.
I'm excited to see the zoo expand even more and get more animals for us to visit.
