Orangutan Habitat
Nashville Zoo plans to break ground on a brand-new orangutan habitat in 2026, our most ambitious exhibit yet. This space will not only highlight one of the world’s most intelligent and endangered species but will also include several other incredible animals in a rich, tropical environment. The exhibit’s two-story viewing building will feature a second-floor observation level, allowing guests to view orangutans eye-to-eye as they move through the treetops.
Other Species
This exciting new exhibit will also feature animals from across Asia and the tropical habitats they call home.
Small Clawed Otter
Tree Kangaroo
Javan Langur
Clouded Leopard
Binturong
Great Hornbill
Birds-of-Paradise
Red Arowana
Expanding Education
As we look to the future, we’re also planning a new education space designed to expand our offerings for children and families. Whether we build a brand-new facility or repurpose an existing space, this initiative will support dynamic, hands-on learning experiences for all ages.
