(Except the homeless guy camping in the restroom area asking if I smoked reefer) so needless to say that was the not so pleasant part.Īfter that nice meeting we went down to the Memphis sign and the area where there’s usually a fountain or wading area. I had never been before and it looked pretty nice from the parking lot to the stage area. My family and I took the trip down to see the river so low. It wasn't the worst zoo I've visited, but it just felt old and out dated.ĭefinitely a scary and rough place. Maybe just a link to an online map would be better than an app to download? Though there is no android app to get a digital map. The zoo is laid out nicely and we had no problems traversing it. I can see that being very attractive with younger children. None of the children's/petting area animals were out, which was a disappointment for us Butterflies and kangaroos specifically.Īnd with everyone feeding the giraffes, there were no giraffes to just see from the other side for free. We were very disappointed that there were parts of the zoo that we had to pay extra to visit. And I think the large cat exhibits don't have big enough barriers for current recommendations. The enclosures for the large animals seemed small for them. Perhaps my zoo expectations are high as I live in an area with high ranking zoos and therefore my perception is askew
