Nashville Zoo

Located just a short drive from the bustling streets of Downtown Nashville, the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere offers visitors a chance to explore the natural world in a beautiful and historic setting. Covering nearly 200 acres, the zoo is home to over 6,000 animals representing more than 330 species, making it one of the region’s most popular attractions. But the zoo isn’t just a place to see exotic creatures up close – it’s also a site of great historical significance, featuring a pristine plantation farmhouse dating back to the early 19th century. Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of caretakers and educators work tirelessly to ensure that the animals are healthy and happy and that visitors leave with a deeper appreciation for the incredible diversity of life on our planet.
