Come and See the Nashville Zoo Before Sitting Down for the Big Game

By Jim Bartoo

Nashville, TN - Nashville Zoo is offering half-priced admission to all visitors on Super Bowl Sunday. The Feb. 7 promotion, known as Zooperbowl, means guests will pay $7 for adults, $4.50 for children 3-12 and $6 for seniors 65 or older. As always, Zoo members and children under two will be admitted free.

Zooperbowl is a great way for guests to get outside and see the Zoo before sitting down for the big game. Zoo animals normally displayed during this time of year will be on exhibit as well as animals in the indoor Unseen New World exhibit.

Most of the Zoo’s animal collection is acclimated to Nashville’s climate except in extreme weather conditions, and some species (cougars, Bengal tigers, zebras, eland, red pandas and Eurasian lynx) are often more active during cooler months. Weather permitting, rides on the Zoo’s Wild Animal Carousel will be offered for $2 each. The Zoo’s gift shop, café and Jungle Gym playground will also be open during Zooperbowl.

Nashville Zoo is accredited by the prestigious Association of Zoos and Aquariums, assuring the highest standards of animal care and husbandry. The Zoo is a non-profit organization located at 3777 Nolensville Road and is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. The mission of the Nashville Zoo is to inspire a culture of understanding and discovery of our natural world through conservation, innovation and leadership.
