Flamingo Lagoon: Now Open at the Nashville Zoo

The Nashville Zoo’s newest exhibit is the Flamingo Lagoon, with a flock of 30 Caribbean flamingos. According to the Nashville Zoo, these are the largest and most brightly colored of the species. The exhibit is located between Critter Encounters and the Tapir exhibit. The exhibit opening was delayed due to the flood earlier this year in Nashville. The Caribbean flamingos are beautiful with their vibrant pink and orange feathers, and long legs and necks. Children love to view these magnificent animals. There are some shaded areas in which they can be viewed, so this makes it nice for the little ones and family members and friends when they visit. You can even take your own snacks and lunch into the zoo, or purchase food and beverages while there. You can as well take your own stroller or wagon, or rent a stroller.  They have a wonderful playground too. There are several spots to stop and rest and eat too. www.nashvilllezoo.org
