I liked the zoo it was large and had a variety of animals including polar bears more

I'm not getting all these 5 star reviews, have these people ever been to another zoo? We went here based on these rating and they are misleading! It's average at best, the Aquarium was sad and lacking, mostly tropical fish you could buy or see at your local pet store nothing really exotic or rare, dirty tanks and poor lighting... more

My family LOVES the Memphis Zoo. Our favorites are the pandas and polar bears. The polar bears are a little farther out, but definitely worth it. There is even a beautiful, air conditioned building with seating so that you can rest out of the sun while you enjoy the polar bears. There are also lots of baby animals at this... more

I spent the day at the zoo with my boyfriend and we took pictures everywhere!!! We went on an off day so alot of the food stands were closed, but we enjoyed it immensly. There is an extravagant bird room with massive trees, a underground tunnel/cave to see one of the animals (forget which one). I loved it and they... more

I am a mom of a child with food allergies. This means only that I have to be a bit more prepared than (some) others when traveling out of town or to a place like the Memphis Zoo. In an effort to be prepared I made a call, strike that... 4 calls, early in the week prior to my visit... more

We were in town mainly to check out Graceland but since that was quicker then we thought (go first thing in the morning), we decided to head to the zoo to see the pandas. We'd heard the zoo was average at best especially compared to the Louisville Zoo and Nashville Zoo. Boy, were we wrong. It's clean, grounds are beautiful,... more

We just returned from the Memphis Zoo. We are lucky enough to live only 35 minutes from the fabulous attraction. With our annual membership, we can attend and park for free as often as we would like. We can also use our Memphis Zoo membership for 1/2 off entrance fees at other zoos. If you have a zoo membership from... more

We travelled to many a zoo and this zoo is one of the better. Of course it's not the biggest zoo you can visit; but I think the emphasis is on quality over quantity. In fact there are several animals you don't see in every zoo like pandas, red pandas, and polar bears. more

I disagree that the Memphis Zoo is the best zoo anywhere. I've not visit all American zoos, but I have visited many (Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Knoxville, Memphis, Miami, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.). In comparison, the Memphis Zoo is better than the zoos in Atlanta, Cleveland, and Knoxville. It does not come close to being as good as... more
