Nashville Zoo at Grassmere

This 200-acre zoo features animals from all over the world in creative natural habitats. Especially notable are the new Flamingo Lagoon (home to a flock of 30 Caribbean flamingoes), the Grassmere Historic Farm (with a farmhouse dating back to the early 1800s), Lorikeet Landing (an aviary with more than 50 Australian parrots), and Gibbon Islands (two landscaped hills with unobstructed views of the zoo’s playful gibbon population). In addition to animal shows and keeper talks, the zoo features a wild animal carousel and the 66,000-square-foot Jungle Gym, the largest community-built playground in the country.
