Located in the heart of the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, RainForest Adventures Zoo offers visitors a fantastic look at over 600 live animals, many of which are unique and beautiful creatures from the rainforests of the world!
Themed by the same zoological contracts that worked on Disney's Animal Kingdom, RainForest Adventuers is an all-indoor exhibit of over 130 animal species, many of which are from rain forests all around the world. Since opening in 2001, the zoo has delighted millions of visitors and is one of the finest small zoos in the country, housing hundreds of tropical and temperate animals, the majority of which have been born or hatched in captivity.
