To show our love for the local community we are partnering with a local community food bank to host a food drive to support Tennessee residents. Nashville Zoo is asking for donations of shelf-stable food and the Zoo is offering a complimentary admission ticket when you donate four or more eligible food items (max of two tickets per household/donation).

Shelf-stable food includes items such as: 

• Canned food (beans, soups, etc)
• Jarred food (peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, etc)
• Boxed food (cereal, rice, macaroni & cheese, noodles, etc)
• Protein bars, snacks, etc
• Shelf-stable milk

The Zoo will collect donations from 9 am – 4 pm on Saturday, February 11 and Sunday, February 12. Zoo admission is not required to donate food. All donations must be in a sealed container and no less than 1 month from the expiration date. Complimentary Zoo tickets may be used during normal Zoo hours through the end of 2023 (blackout dates may apply).
