Souper Bowl Food Drive

To show our love for the local community we are partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee to host a food drive to support Tennessee residents. Nashville Zoo is asking for donations of shelf-stable food and the Zoo is offering a complimentary admission ticket when you donate four or more eligible food items (max of two tickets per household/donation).

Shelf-stable food includes items such as: 

• Peanut butter
• Canned meat (chicken/tuna)
• Canned fruit and vegetables
• Soups and stews
• Pasta
• Cereal

The Zoo will collect donations from 9 am - 4 pm on Friday, February 7 and Saturday, February 8. Zoo admission is not required to donate food. All donations must be in a sealed container and no less than 1 month from the expiration date. Complimentary Zoo tickets may be used during normal Zoo hours through November 2025 (blackout dates may apply).
