Knoxville Zoo

Knoxville Zoo Tomorrow (Dec. 1st) is the start of Penguin Discount Days-through February 28, 2010, admission to Knoxville Zoo is HALF OFF! And the winter months are actually a great time to visit, since so many of the animals enjoy the crisp temperatures. Throw on a warm coat, your mittens and pack a Thermos of hot chocolate. It's a cool way to see the zoo!

I LOVE visiting when the weather is cooler. That's when I've seen the lions playing with their toys and pouncing on each other.

Knoxville Zoo Admit it--it’s a pretty cool feeling when you
come up with the perfect Christmas gift.
If you’ve got kids on your shopping list, might we suggest a zoo
membership? Members can visit the zoo as
many times as they like for a whole year.
Sure beats a Chia Pet. Yes, even
the new presidential series of Chia Pets.

Thanks! All your reds are gorgeous! The New Zealand sisters - Kumari & Akkali - are beautiful; Sebastian is a sweetie. And I have a soft spot in my heart for adorable Chewy (Chewbacca) who was born out at the Smithsonian's Conservation Research Center.
Looking forward to another visit to the Boyd Family Red Panda Village!

Maija, you have a good eye-that is indeed Sebastian! I suspect that you are a red panda professional yourself. ;)

Knoxville Zoo At the risk of sounding like we’re accepting an Oscar, we’ve just got a few more people to thank for helping make Kroger Free Day such a wonderful event. Thank you to WIVK, WNOX, and WOKI for being such generous media sponsors. And we’ve got to thank all the AMAZINGLY generous folks who helped out Mission of Hope, Yo...ung-Williams Animal Center, and The Human Society of the Tennessee Valley.

Knoxville Zoo Got a drawer full of old cell phones that you’re ready to part with but can’t quite bring yourself to throw them away because you’re a bit of a tree-hugger? We’ve got the answer-bring them to Kroger Free Day at the zoo tomorrow and recycle them! Heck, we’ll even take the accessories, too. Just hand them over to the zoo’s Green Team when you get here.

Knoxville Zoo Did you know that you can help Western lowland
gorillas just by donating school supplies on Kroger Free Day? Club Ebobo, the Mbeli Bai Gorilla Study’s
conservation education program, teaches students in Congo, Africa, about the
importance of ensuring the survival of these amazing apes. Your local actions really can have a global
impact.
