8. Nashville Zoo at Grassmere

GRASSMERE.   Known as Grassmere, the zoo is found in a heavily traveled section of Nashville, yet the serene park seems as if it is in the middle of nowhere. Since it first opened in 1990, the zoo has collected an impressive variety of animals from around the world, including African elephants, meerkats, bongos and other antelopes, river otters, cheetahs, and a wide variety of birds and reptiles. The zoo also boasts the largest volunteer-constructed playground in the world – a 66,000 square feet of kid-centered fun complete with a 30-foot tree house, tunnels and slides, a koi pond, a waterfall, and water play areas.   (© 10Best)

This zoo invites more than creature-peeping, with a variety of interactive and educational programs. Spend the night at the zoo, learn about migration and climate change, watch craft demonstrations, or just gawk at the ring-tailed lemur. (from Southern Living)
