Wildly Fun,
Safely Fun
We’re excited to have you back at Zoo Knoxville and are working hard to keep you safe. We’ve added lots of new measures to provide low-risk visits with the animals and in the Wee Play Adventure area, where Tiana lives.

We have 53 acres for physical distancing, and more than 30 hand sanitizing stations for your convenience. With our online ticketing options, extra cleaning and sanitizing, traffic markers and other protocols, we hope you’re ready to come safely back to the zoo. Remember: masks are required in indoor areas.
