Music City, USA isn’t just the home of country music! It’s also where you’ll find a progressive and dynamic, conservation – oriented zoological park. The Nashville Zoo, opened in 1991, is the area’s #1 attraction; it houses thousands of residents from 339 species, including Bahati, the leggy and adorable baby Masai giraffe – all thriving in healthy, happy and daily-enriched environments. Kangaroo Kickabout allows adventurous visitors to wander 4500 square feet of ‘roo stomping grounds – will you spot the co-habiting Triton Cockatoos as you meet and mingle with the curious troop of red kangaroos? Bet you didn’t know the lovely and elusive Clouded Leopard doesn’t roar like the larger cats in the zoo, nor purr, like smaller ones; cop some “face time” with a normally-nocturnal “Cloud” – if you catch him awake – and listen to the lingo! Did you know Red Pandas descend trees headfirst? Have you ever witnessed a stoic meerkat “sentry” stretched tall and watchful – straight as a stick – guarding his “kat mob” for hours? Did you know the beautiful but deadly Blue Poison Arrow Frog has a captive life expectancy of up to 20 years? That’s an awfully long time to fear the frog. The budding Paleontologists in your group won’t want to miss the return of “Dinotrek”-a hugely popular, limited engagement exhibit featuring 15 full-scale leviathans doing their terrible “thing,” stomping, snarling and roaring to life right before your eyes. Safari’s tough work; snack huts and kiosks are conveniently situated throughout the park to ensure your group stays strong and focused, but even the king of the jungle rests after feeding. Why not hop a post-feast train thru uncharted Zoo territories while your lunch settles? All aboard the Wilderness Express!
