I love love LOVE the Memphis zoo. The layout is very nice, the staff are always friendly and eager to answer any questions you may have about the animals or their careers in general, it's definitely family oriented as there are rules in place to prevent smoking, drinking, etc. and overall it's just a nice place to be. There are lots of animals to see, including a new Hippo exhibit they just opened over the past few months, and there's almost always something going on no matter where you go in the zoo too, whether it's a feeding or a show or just a talk about the animals. The price of admission is fair too, and their memberships are definitely worth the price; even if you go just three times in an entire year, you've already saved money, not to mention the discounts you get at the food carts and gift shops. All in all, a great place, and if I lived closer I would go nearly every day.
