The only good thing about these Nashville Zoo at Grassmere is the playground- which you're better off going to Two Rivers park near the wave country anyway. There aren't even any animals except for the occasional bird!

WE SAW LITTLE AND WALKED ALOT
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/06/06
WE DID MORE WALKING AND LESS OF SEEING THE ANIMALS. IF YOU DO DECIDED TO TAKE YOUR STROLLER YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE IT IN SOME OF THE EXHIBITS(MY FEAR WAS TO LEAVE THE STROLLER TO GO SEE THE EXHIBIT AND SOMEONE STEAL OUR STROLLER). THERE WAS ALOT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON WHILE WE WERE THERE. BRING YOUR OWN WATER AND FOOD- WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO BUY THESE THINGS INSIDE THE ZOO!!! IT WAS NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR THE TIME!!!

Total disappointment!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/16/08
I've been to a handful of zoos before, and the Nashville Zoo has disappointed me the most. I read the other comments on here before I left to visit the zoo and I should have listened, stayed home and saved my money. Nashville is such a booming town, and to have a zoo like this is pitiful. I don't see how they can charge $13 per person... ...

Nice Zoo
By captkiddmom, 09/13/05
The Zoon is a nice one, but comparing to the original Nashville Zoo - there is no comparison. Grassmere just doesn't have alot of charm. Regardless, my younger kids really enjoyed the experience and we are glad there is a zoo in Nashville. If you're visiting the zoo just because you're in Nashville, you might want to think twice about it.

for younger children only
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/18/06
my preschooler enjoyed the visit. my 8 and 10 year boys were somewhat let down from all the very positive hype told to them by their g-parents. the original was more in my opinion.

Not what I expected
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/02/07
This zoo is spread out, but has very few large animals. There are no apes, gorillas, rhinos, lions, polar bears, bears, etc.
Very few animals and large in price. With a discount and a family of 4, I still spent $70, without eating there.
The zoos in Fort Worth and Dallas were much better.

Better since moved to Grassmere
By RoadMap, 06/15/06
I have been coming to the zoo off and on since Nashville got a zoo. I like this Grassmere location a lot better than the original location.
The Nashville Zoo has a respectable animal collection, and the atmosphere is very enjoyable. Nice picnic areas and pavillions for groups.
It is easily laid out and easy to find signs to get you around.
Has always been an enjoyable experience going here.

Noise Level
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/10/06
The zoo habitat and animals are great.I know that noise is expected and children do get excited, but the useless screaming is hardly needed to enjoy yourself. Very little parental supervision

Nice zoo, but not fantastic
By Lady Bug Pink, 03/22/07
Really like that the animals have SO much room - but be prepared to do a LOT of walking. My favorite part of this zoo is Grassmere itself. Make sure you tour the home and grounds around it. Very beautiful in the Fall.

A good zoo to visit
By Heather M, 04/16/08
The Nashville Zoo is a nice little zoo. It is currently undergoing expansion, so in the next few years, it won't be a little zoo anymore. It seems that, though the zoo itself is on the small side right now, they have given great thought to and put a lot of money into the animal exhibits. The exhibits are spatious and beautifully landscaped ...
