The Memphis Zoo is a fun place to visit in Midtown, Memphis, TN. It is home to over 3,500 animals from more than 500 different species. The zoo opened in April 1906 and has been a big part of Overton Park for over 100 years. The zoo covers about 76 acres of land. It was ranked the #2 zoo in the US in 2024.
Located in Downtown Memphis, the historic luxury hotel, The Peabody Memphis, is probably best known for the Peabody Ducks. The custom first started in the 1930s as a joke by the Peabody’s General Manager, but the mallard ducks grew so popular that they became a permanent fixture, and have even been featured on television and magazines. Each morning, visitors can watch as the ducks march across a red carpet to the hotel fountain before heading back to their rooftop “Royal Duck Palace."
