As one of the most visited attractions in the region, Nashville Zoo has become a major destination! Adults, children, businesses, and organizations visit the Zoo to see animals up close, be a part of nature, learn more about conservation, and gain peace & inspiration from our natural world. With your help, the Zoo continues to grow and thrive!
Parking Garage – Now Open!
To address the Zoo’s growth,a massive parking garage was bulit to increase our parking capacity by 62%. This two-floor garage features covered parking on the lower level and open parking on the upper level.
A landscaped walkway and ramp will bring guests directly from the garage to the Zoo’s Entry Village. The added space will have a huge impact on how many guests the Zoo is able to comfortably accommodate as we grow wild into the future!
Leopard Forest - Opening 2025
Leopard Forest will be located along the path to the existing giraffe habitat and features four separate habitats where guests can enjoy species like:
- Amur leopards
- Colobus monkeys
- De Brazza's monkeys
- Klipspringers
While the Amur leopard is not native to Africa and is native to the mountainous forests of Eastern Russia and Northern China, it is the most critically endangered leopard and one of the most threatened cat species in the world.
