We weren't expecting it to be quite so chilly in Tennessee. It was 35 degrees, so sadly, a lot of the animals were off-exhibit. We hope to go back sometime when it's warmer. It's such a beautiful zoo. We saw a red panda, zebras, elands, and ostriches. Cougars, lynxes and two colors of tigers. It was too cold for the elephants and giraffes—we missed them. One of the girls' favorite parts of the zoo was The Jungle Gym—a 66,000 square-foot playground. It more than made up for the animals we didn't get to see. Huge slides, a jumping/bouncy pit, swings, mazes. Great fun!
