The Memphis Zoo is truly a unique experience. It changes every year and they are always updating the exhibits. You can bring your cooler, snacks, drinks, and have a picnic almost anywhere around the grounds. We've been several times in the past 5 years and now that the kids are in grade school, they can easily walk on their own.... more

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
