Zoo Knoxville Full Tour - Knoxville, Tennessee

[@denomonus1035]

I know you've been o the Brookfield zoo but I also recommend you going to the Lincoln park zoo in Chicago it's free and a nice size

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

I'm planning on going there next year. I've heard good things about that zoo.

[@quantumcat7673]

Amazing zoo. So nice how it is designed and so much variety of animals. As soon as the Canada-US border returns to normal, I'll do a little promenade to Knoxville with a detour to Memphis and Mobile.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Sounds like a great plan, hopefully that will be sooner than later.

[@LonghornInOmaha]

Nice tour, Tom. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the new reptile building when it opens.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Thank You Cole 😊

[@stacybearss2606]

Love Black Bear fallas one of the best Zoo exhibits I've seen. Really likes the Asia side of the zoo had a great selection of animals and all the exhibits were really good. This was one of my favorite zoo tours you have done.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

I really enjoyed the theming of the Asian side as well. The whole zoo was nicely done, the new reptile and amphibian building will make this zoo even better. I'm glad you enjoyed my tour.

[@Phant0mV1]

The first time i cam here i was amazed by all the different species and now that im coming back to Tennessee i will be able to experience more of the zoo since the last time i came we had to leave a bit early because we still had to go to Ripleys aquarium

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Zoo Knoxville is my favorite zoo in Tennessee. I hope you have a great visit, the zoo is much more enjoyable if you take it slowly.

[@Cnuggs-9]

I don't watch your videos all the time but there good and I bet this video is going to be cool and I love animals

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Thanks for watching this zoo tour, I hope you'll check out my other tour vids.

[@annhayton2757]

I was going to the zoo when I was in middle school and even when I was in high school my dad was going to the doctor office at Knoxville we was going there and the school i was ant we go there on field trips

[@VideoTraxxFanaticRules2004]

you should come back to knoxville zoo because the reptile and amphibian place is now open

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Perhaps next year, I'd love to go back to Tennessee.

[@Cnuggs-9]

At my zoo that I went to all the time when I was little and I still do but I haven't been since corona

You'll have someplace to look forward to now

@@TomsRoadTrippin Nice vegetation. How do you like the winters?

[@colleenmohan6217]

I have in Knoxville my whole 24 years of life and when I was young the zoo was a big loop. Where the lions are the path continued where the path to the gorillas are at. They used to have cheetahs, hyenas, and the old lion exhibit was back there as well. It was so cool

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Whenever a zoo renovation is taking place they unfortunately remove nice areas to expand new areas. Hopefully the zoo makes changes that benefit both the animals and visitors. Thanks for sharing your memories.

[@fryzers7932]

i love it your show us the zoo's, but maybe you has to show us more of the habitats instead of only the animal. That would make your to tour more completed. Keep up the good work

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

I try to show the habitats now, I try to keep my tours under an hour. It's harder to show a lot of habitats in addition to the animals in larger zoo's. Thanks for your suggestion.

[@noahm398]

Looks like a good zoo.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

It was, very enjoyable

[@shanerose7204]

If you're ever in New York State, I highly recommend stopping at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse. It has a large variety of animals including Asian elephants, Amur leopards, Humboldt penguins, and Siamang Gibbons. The only problem is that most of the zoo's animals are indoors and only one of the indoor exhibits is open at this time due to COVID, so that may be one to save for whenever things go back to normal.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Thank You for the suggestion, I plan to go to New York once things are better.

[@treys1607]

Did u know that b4 the Amur Leopards the Rosamond Gifford Zoo had Lions

The Galapagos Tortoise are the largest species.

[@kaylahobbs6550]

I went here a long time ago and now I just went back yesterday! My mom was scared of the snakes + my papaw my mammow and dad wasn’t scared and I loved to see all the animals and what is the show thing because we didn’t get to see it and I saw my favorite animal RED WOLVES it was adorable there was 3 red wolves and my mammow found her favorite animal ELEPHANT and there was only 1 I think the rest was eating or taking a bath and on the east side we had to climb up the mountain my dad couldn’t help walking a lot so we just saw red pandas and the tiger 🐅 it was super fun and then we went to the gift shop and bought some animals and we went to get dinner then home.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

I haven't made it to Colorado yet but will go to the Denver Zoo once I do.

[@franktrinidad142]

hah ! i thougth at first that the zoo was super small.... and then, you show up the west part of the zoo , i went litteraly like " YAYYYY!! there is more !!" XD Thats a lovely zoo, not too much catnap on the second part XD, and some animals that i dont see alots of times... thoses bat ears fox are cute :D (dont know how comfortable is would be to sleep on gravel tho XD) i m amaze by the monkey, he is soo loud and make such a weird sound for a monkey. you did bad when you tryed to lure the ducks XD... that's why its forbidden in my country to wistle in zoos... because it can be taked as a provocation for some animals, or may disturb them. (also, as you noticed in this video, sometime the keeper wistle to warn animals about food time XD) also... i discover an elephant skull for the first time... lol what the heck is that ? i thougth it was some kind of fantasy Cyclop skull HAHAHA Xd , its soooo weird. (but in same time, we cant see in the video, but i m pretty sure that skull must be giant :O, because elephant have huge head. thank you for this visitof knoxville zoo (i still dont know how to pronunce that city name XD)... It was super cool. I looked at the video while sitting on sofa, eating popcorn with a small fan blowing at me .... during this hot days, it feel like an actual travel around the zoo with a guide :D. super cool.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

There is a East side (Asia) and a West side ( Africa) so it was a good size zoo. I felt awful when the egret ran over when I whistled for the ducks. I wasn't thinking when I did it, I'll be sure not to do that again 😕 I'm glad you enjoyed my tour and learned some new things along the way. Thank You for your awesome comment. Stay Cool
