I have been to several zoos around the US and Memphis can be proud of this one. If you have the time and have your children, by all means, see this one.

Our daughter never tires of the zoo....and we enjoy taking her. Have lunch in the cathouse cafe where the monkeys will press there face against the windows and watch you eat. Endless laughs. The farm petting zoo exhibit is a great experience, too. Includes a "must do" train ride for the Thomas fans in the family on a miniature replica...

The zoo is wonderful. It offers many opportunities to view the animals outdoors, but also there are indoor exhibits too. I have been a member for several years now and always get my money's worth.

There seems to always be something going on at the zoo. This is a well run zoo with many animal attractions. I would not advise going in the dead of summer (July & August) unless you are a true southerner. This is good family fun.

My favorite was the night creatures exhibit, esp. with the free flight bats habitat. So very cool to see them flying, interacting, eating, sleeping.

The Memphis Zoo is only 1 of 5 in the country with Pandas. But the zoo is much more than just the bears. The animals are housed in natural landscapes in different named areas of the zoo, such as Cat Country and the Northwest Passage. The only dislike is that it gets pricey with a family.

I've been going to this zoo for many years (when it was free). I now enjoy taking my granddaughter to see it. It has been upgraded some years back & it is well kept & not too smelly for a zoo, even in hot weather. My granddaughter really enjoys the parakeets , if you can get them on the feedstick...
