Zoo Knoxville! | August 2019

For the first time in 10 years, I traveled back to Zoo Knoxville! Let me tell ya, A LOT has changed. This park struck us in a way it never had in the past and we signed up for annual passes as soon as we hit the gift shop. Let us know what you think about the zoo in the comments below and if you'd like us to go back!
Zoo Knoxville, formerly Knoxville Zoo is a 53-acre zoo located just east of downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, United States, near exit 392 off Interstate 40. The zoo is home to about 800 animals and welcomes over 400,000 visitors each year.
Zoo Knoxville is notable for having bred the first two African Elephants born in the Western Hemisphere. Both born at Zoo Knoxville (then called the Knoxville Zoo) in 1978. The zoo also has bred more endangered red pandas than any other zoo in the world and is a leader in the breeding of endangered tortoises.

Noice vid. In planet zoo, i would love to see a system where we can build custom netting/mesh aviaries. For example, the why i would go about doing this is by allowing the player to first place an "Achor Point" or the highest point that the mesh will attach to such as a central pole or fake tree... Next, the player can drag out a line to place on poles (fence posts) surrounding this central pole. From this system, mesh would be generated with a realistic amount of slack or "drape" as they do irl. This would lead to endless options... primate exhibits, cat exhibits, birds, you name it, they are very common in zoos and no zoo game has this much needed feature.

I live near here and it's great to see how the zoo has grown since I was a lil nugget

i hope you can put in those bubble tubes for the guest and the peeps interact with them. Or at least the children peeps. Iv'e never seen those transition nets at any of the zoos iv'e been too. that would be cool if frontier gave those to use for the primate exhibits. have 2 areas for them and those going over the path so cool. from planet zoo footage so far. I don't really see any netting for enclosed bird/climbing exhibits. I hope they implement that stuff.

That zoo is stunning. I'm gonna steal many things for sure. I want my first zoo to be a really really good one.

Everything is very clean, very relaxed and incredibly varied. Animals and humans can really feel at home here. I would like to see some of the things here in more detail. Especially the tree trunk tunnel at the Black Bear Falls pleases me, I would build it in Planet Zoo immediately.

Michael EsPunkt I want to build that too! 😃
