The Nashville Zoo’s Backstage Pass tours grant visitors access to areas and adventures not available to the public.

Depending on the tour selected, you will travel with a personal guide to meet a rhino, two-toed sloth, giraffe, or other animal up close. The zoo just added three new experiences — here’s what to know before you go:

Red panda | $80 ($60 for members) | Open to ages 8+
Cassowary | $60 ($40 for members) | Open to ages 6+
Giant tortoise | $40 ($30 for members) | Open to all ages

Pro tip: The new 30-minute tours include a feeding opportunity + zoo admission.
