“My daughter had the best time of her life. First time I have ever been at 26 years old. I had a blast. I didn't realize how much fun the zoo was. Thank you Zoo Knoxville. We will return every chance we get. ”

“We love this zoo so much. Great reptile exhibit indoors for inclement weather. Love the new otter habitat too! Plenty of good food options and places for kids to play between visiting the animals. Kids got to feed a sloth one time too!”
