Nashville, Zoo

Visiting the Nashville Zoo

We had the best time at the Nashville Zoo on Monday!! We’ve been several times and hadn’t spent much time at the playground. What a mistake! It was awesome. A great place to end the day before the hour and a half drive home. Let me tell you... it was a lifesaver that there’s a coffee spot nearby the playground to grab a little pick-me-up! We, of course, loved visiting all of the animals (it's the perfect time of year to see them all out and about!) and the kids enjoyed the animal show, getting up close with some incredible creatures.
