Knoxville Zoo

If your traveling through Tennesse, you may find yourself in the Knoxville area and might want to check out the zoo that calls this area home. Now, Knoxville will not be on anyones list of top zoos', but it allows it's guest to get close and gives a few odd angles to see the animals.

One of my favorite areas is Bear Falls, which when entering you will find yourself in a large naturalistc looking hollow log. The log will have large slits in it, which allows you to see the large black bears walking around and on top of it. Also the African region is a unique area, as with the elephants you will see large fake trees all around and see the cute little meerkats enjoying there home thats more like a playground.

As I said earlier Knoxville Zoo needs to update itself in areas of Asia, South American and jungles regions, as well as renovate pre-existing areas. Though Kids Zone is a good area for parents to kick up there feet and let the kids to play, enjoy the petting zoo and learn more about the animals of North American and Knoxville has a nice reptile collection.
