NEW! For Your Wild Child!

Wee Play Zoo, Knoxville Zoo's fun new interactive exhibit designed with toddler, pre-school and elementary school-aged visitors in mind, is now open in the Pilot Special Exhibit Building.  Wee Play Zoo lets kids run their own zoo, which has been scaled to just the right size for little ones.

NOW OPEN!

Wee Play Zoo lets kids dress up and try their hand at different roles throughout the "zoo", whether it's selling tickets in the ticket booth, working in the Pizzooria concession stand, or preparing special diets for the animals in the commissary.  Little animal enthusiasts can be veterinarians or become an animal researcher and take part in conservation projects.  Of course, the zoo always needs zookeepers!  Pint -sized keepers can scoop poop, stack hay, and meet animals that live at the zoo.  (Parents can rest assured that Wee Play Zoo does not use real poop or actual food.) 

Wee Play Zoo is located in the Pilot Special Exhibit Building, and is open daily during regular zoo hours.  Come let your imagination run wild!
