Nashville Zoo

As I mentioned, on Addison & Mackenzie's birthday, we took a trip to the Nashville Zoo.  Although we have been meaning to visit the zoo since the girls were tiny, this was their first trip...and the first visit in many, many years for Jeremy and me.  I think we enjoyed it just as much as the girls did!

Can you tell I bribed Addison to take a picture with her sister?

That's better!

The Nashville Zoo doesn't have a huge amount of animals, but it is an amazing setting.  The zoo is divided into "world regions", and most of the habitats for the large animals seemed very natural--not a cage in sight, except for some of the smaller animals.  Surprisingly, the girls' favorite area seemed to be the building with the fish/snakes/lizards/frogs/spiders.  I would never have predicted that!

Our first zoo trip was a hit, which is a good thing since we bought a family pass!  The zoo pass has lots of reciprocal zoos around the country that will allow us to get in free as well.  We are fortunate to be just in between Nashville and Birmingham, which both honor the pass, so next time we will check out Birmingham.

I wish we could bottle this beautiful spring weather and keep it forever!

  2. We love, love, love the elephant and giraffe areas in Nashville! I think it definitely makes up for the smaller scale of the zoo.

    If you ever venture farther north, the pass covers the Louisville zoo, too. Their big attraction (in my opinion) is a new polar bear exhibit, and a nice seal exhibit. We got to see both of those animals up close last week...so cool!
