Nashville Zoo at Grassmere: Fast track

Come watch the monkeys swinging, hear the birds singing, and maybe even see some crocodiles swimming at one of Nashville's top attractions! Almost 3,000 animals representing over 350 different species call this historic space home, and meeting them all makes Nashville Zoo one of Tennessee's best family day trips. Daily talks from the dedicated staff aim to teach you fun facts about the animals, from flamingos to kangaroos, meerkats, rhinos and even guinea pigs! Where else can you brush a goat and pet a kangaroo all on the same day?
