On November 7 & 8, visit Nashville Zoo to hear children's stories throughout the park. Follow the “Celebrate Reading” passport, as it takes visitors through the Zoo to hear different storybooks read at various reading stops. During the event enjoy activities for young reading enthusiasts and animal encounters throughout the Zoo (weather dependent). Celebrate Reading runs November 7 and 8 from 9:30 am – 2 pm both days.
Nashville Zoo will offer complimentary attraction tickets (limit of four tickets per person) for anyone donating new or “like new” children’s books at the Zoo on November 8 and 9. Attraction tickets can be used to ride on the Wild Animal Carousel, Soaring Eagle Zip Line presented by Tennessee National Guard, or enjoy a viewing at the Adventure 4D Theater. All books will be donated to Book'em, a local nonprofit helping economically disadvantaged children discover the joy and value of reading through book ownership. Through their Nashville Kids book distribution program, Book 'em has provided more than one million books to children in middle Tennessee.
This event is included with general admission or membership.
