Nashville Zoo’s annual Celebrate Reading days align with this important national holiday and is from Saturday, November 2 to Sunday, November 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

During the first weekend in November, 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).

From Saturday, November 2 through Friday, November 8, Nashville Zoo will offer complimentary attraction tickets for anyone donating new or “like new” children’s books. For every 1 book donated they receive 1 attraction ticket (up to 4 per person).
Attraction tickets can be used to ride on the carousel, zip line, or enjoy a viewing at the Chick-fil-A 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. People interested in donating can visit the Zoo giftshop to drop off books then come out and redeem their free ticket.

This event is included with general admission or membership. Reservations are no longer required for Zoo members. To purchase tickets, please visit https://orders.nashvillezoo.org/buy/tickets.
