Lonely Planet review for Memphis Zoo

The world-class Memphis Zoo hosts two giant panda stars, Ya Ya and Le Le, in a $16-million exhibit on native Chinese wildlife and habitat. The Northwest Passage section is home to polar bears, sea lions and eagles. Other residents include the full gamut of monkeys, penguins, African wildlife, etc. Imagine an animal, the zoo probably has it.

    One of the Nation's Best Zoos

    arestotts recommends this,

    The Memphis Zoo is one of the best zoo's in the country. There are many natural-habitat exhibits, and the zoo makes cutting-edge improvements. They are heavily involved in conservation efforts including breeding programs for endangered species. Don't forget to check out the zoo's "extracurricular" activities like after-hours murder-mystery dinners, ice skating in the winter, Wild World of Wine and Beer tastings, etc.
