First of all, nice to hear from another Arizona member. Due to your sparse number of postings I am not familiar with your name. I would say it takes 3 hours to see everything at the zoo, assuming you are not spending long amounts of time at any exhibit. The clouded leopard exhibit is largely regarded as perhaps the best around, but the zoo is quite good in every aspect. You should have no problem seeing everything.

Thanks; I've been here awhile, but haven't had the opportunity to visit too many zoos. I'll be staying in Antioch- about how far is it to the zoo from there?
I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted a position with the Nashville Zoo!! In about a month, I'll be working with hoofstock for a few months, and am really excited to be a part of this ever-growing establishment!
I also was able to get down to the city to check out the zoo today, and was not disappointed! Unfortunately I do not have time to write a review; however, I did take a few photos (including the stellar new spider monkey exhibit), and may post some opinions along with those.

Groundbreaking for the upcoming new zoo hospital was today.

Also worth mentioning is that based on the article's photos and words, the white rhinos are here and will go on display as soon as next week!

Nashville Zoo has a brand-new map that shows the placement of this year's 4 new exhibits (White Rhinos, Andean Bears, Mexican Spider Monkeys, Sumatran Tigers) and the map is a huge improvement on what was previously designed.

Expedition Peru: Trek of the Andean Bear will exhibit a variety of species and opens March 15! I am jealous of the surprise in store in the women’s restroom: ! Expedition Peru: Trek of the Andean Bear

Underwater viewing for Andean (spectacled) bears is an interesting feature. When I first read that I wondered if they would ever go in water. But then I remembered the spectacled bears at my local zoo in Arizona often go in the water in the summer.
Throw in a frozen watermelon and you’re all sorted!
