Everyone can enjoy a day at the Knoxville zoo !

Knoxville zoo is a great place to take children. For the area it is one of the best zoos around! They have a new area called KIDS COVE. Also there are goats and sheep you can pet, and there is an interesting beaver exhibit located in the KIDS COVE area! It has a lot of fun activites for children.... TNpearl, a user of Tripadvisor.
