We go to zoos in every city we visit and this one is delightful. I discovered they're starting a 20-year (!) improvement plan, which will ameliorate the last few old-fashioned animal enclosures, which will take the zoo to the next level. The place is spotless, the animals are well cared-for, and the workers are knowledgeable and friendly. I absolutely do not begrudge the rather high entry expense, as it helps finance the necessary upgrades, which in turn aids in conservation efforts. The site is well-organized and easy to navigate. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here – if you have kids (or even if you don't!) this is a great place to take a break from other frenetic tourist activities.

Wow! The selection of animals was outstanding. We were passing by on a cross country road trip and needed to stretch our legs. The layout is amazing, so much walking, we did 7500 steps in two hours before they closed! I brought my three kids teen to toddler, everyone had a great time. Bring a stroller for under five yr old, super stroller friendly. We came on the off season on a Wednesday so the food places weren't open, got drinks from the various vending machines. A few enclosures didn't have occupants, but honestly not a big deal because there are sooooo many animals here, still. Missed the pandas but knew they weren't going to be here and it's not the fault of the zoo. The animal experts were so kind and knowledgeable and treated the animals with care. The animals looked well cared for and enclosures were large and clean.

I've loved the Memphis Zoo ever since I was a kid. This zoo has so many different kinds of animals. Lots of the walking is shaded or inside and there are mist fans. Kids can play either in the small fountain or in the new splash pad. There are also zip lines and other new features. Memberships for a family are almost cheaper than just going once, great deal. A great place to visit!
