A Croft House Christmas

Have a holly, jolly, 19th-century Christmas with Nashville Zoo!

To celebrate the season, the Zoo's Historic Home will be decorated with greenery, ribbon, and vintage decorations that belonged to Margaret and Elise Croft, former tenants of the Grassmere property whose family owned the land and home for five generations.

Yuletide tours will be offered at the Home the first three weekends in December that showcase a traditional Victorian Christmas and explores some of the time's customs that we still honor today. Tours will start daily at 10 a.m. and run on the half hour, with the last tour starting at 3 p.m.

Tours of the Home are included with Zoo admission. To take the tour, guests are asked to assemble on the front porch of the Historic Home where the tour guide will meet them.
