## About

Nashville Zoo at Grassmere is a nonprofit, AZA-accredited zoo on the historic Grassmere farm in south Nashville. The new Leopard Forest habitat is open. Families can add small-fee attractions bought at the ticket booth or at each attraction, or a single wristband for unlimited rides and animal feedings all day. Strollers, double strollers and wheelchairs can be rented first come, first served (no advance reservations), and families are welcome to bring their own stroller or wagon. Ticket prices change by date, so check the day's adult price when buying online.
