Nashville Zoo Named Among the Top Zoos in America

“America’s Best Zoos: A Travel Guide for Fans and Families” named Nashville Zoo among the top 60 zoos in America.

Just 11 years after opening, Nashville Zoo is recognized with the nation’s leading zoos, such as the San Diego Zoo that was founded nearly a century ago.

The book did not rank the zoos. Instead, it divided the country up into regions and listed the winning zoos. Nashville Zoo was listed in the Southeast region with 12 others.

In addition, the guide cites Nashville Zoo as one of the premier places to see clouded leopards, alligators and meerkats.

The Intrepid Traveler, publisher of “America’s Best Zoos,” is dedicated to sharing the joys of travel by helping people make travel an integral part of their lives.

Nashville Zoo is accredited by the prestigious Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

The Zoo is a non-profit organization located at 3777 Nolensville Road and is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
