Nashville Zoo is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Your donations and visits support our mission to inspire a culture of understanding and discovery of our natural world through conservation, innovation and leadership.
Besides roaming our trails, grabbing a bite to eat, visiting our veterinary center, taking a spin on the carousel, feeding the lorikeets, and petting the goats - we have a variety of keeper talks and animal feedings scheduled weekly.
Here you will find our daily schedule of activities. Scheduled events and activities are subject to change, so please be sure to check the schedules prior to your visit.
The green anaconda is the largest snake in the world averaging over 20 feet in length, 300 pounds in weight, and over 12 inches across. Similar to other snakes anacondas will eat their prey head first to reduce the obstructions caused by limbs. You can see our green anaconda in Unseen New World.
