Nashville Zoo at Grassmere

Located on more than 200 pristine, spring-fed acres in the heart of Nashville, Grassmere is the city's primary zoological park. On display are more than 350 animals, including Bengal tigers, zebras, ostriches, and river otters. Families will enjoy the old Croft House, built around 1810 and now home to a working farm exhibit and petting zoo. The 66,000-square-foot jungle gym near the amphitheater is a great way to see children in their natural habitat.
