The Memphis Zoo, situated in Midtown, is a renowned zoological park that has been an integral part of Overton Park for over a century since its inception in April 1906. Covering 76 acres, with 55 of them developed, it's home to more than 3,500 animals from over 500 species. Owned by the City of Memphis, the zoo's history is intertwined with the Overton Park master plan of 1888. The animal exhibits are organized into three distinct zones, featuring 19 exhibits including Teton Trek, Northwest Passage, and the China exhibit, which is notable for housing the giant pandas Ya Ya and Le Le. Landscaping is a pivotal aspect of the zoo, enhancing the three zones and the trails connecting them. Key features include water elements like ponds, waterfalls, fountains, and streams, alongside artificial rock formations that seamlessly integrate with the animals' enclosures. The diverse flora, including trees, shrubs, and seasonal plants, further enriches the zoo's environment. The zoo prides itself on modern exhibits that replicate the natural habitats of the animals, such as Once Upon A Farm, Cat Country, Primate Canyon, and the Dragon's Lair. Exploring all exhibits entails a walk of approximately 2 miles. For convenience, trams offer guided tours for a nominal fee and also function as a shuttle service between distant exhibits. Additional attractions include a carousel, rides, a miniature train for scenic views, and theme-oriented gift shops and eateries, most of which are seasonal. For family enjoyment, there's a playground near the Cat House Cafe, picnic areas under mature trees, and a seasonal ice skating rink with a 5,400 square foot skating area. The Memphis Zoo, with its rich history and diverse attractions, offers an engaging and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
