The Memphis Zoo shines brightly as one of the top zoos in the United States, according to TripAdvisor. And trust me, it's not just hype. From the moment you walk through the impressive entrance, you can tell this is somewhere extraordinary. The entrance and courtyard pay homage to the ancient city of Memphis, Egypt, with streams that gently weave through the area, refreshing waterfalls, native flora, and peaceful gardens. These elements alone make the trip worthwhile.
Boasting 19 distinctive exhibits and thousands of animal species, the zoo offers a whirlwind tour of the world without ever leaving its grounds. Check out Teton Trek, where a slice of Yellowstone National Park has found a home in Midtown Memphis. Here, the grand lodge and an Old Faithful replica are surrounded by grizzly bears and wolves. And yes, you can splash around in the geyser!
Head over to Northwest Passage for a chance to watch a lively sea lion show. You can also get up close and personal with polar bears, admire totem poles that have been blessed by Native Americans, and spot bald eagles and black bears. It’s an adventure that keeps on giving. Don’t miss the chance to visit China, where you can stand just a few feet away from giant pandas, Le Le and Ya Ya. The Memphis Zoo is one of only four zoos across the country where you can have this rare encounter. The zoo also hosts seasonal events and special programs that offer deeper insights into the animal kingdom. Whether you're an animal lover or just looking for a fun day out, the Memphis Zoo promises an unforgettable experience.
