I love Turtle Back. I grew up with the Memphis Zoo, which is much larger. Turtle Back feels like a neighborhood, friendly zoo that's easily walkable in a short time frame. It does all the things you'd want out of a zoo without tiring you out. The fact that the animals are all rescue animals is also comforting for someone like me who might be wary of caging animals. And you know they have a home here where they're cared for when they might not make it in the wild.
