Valley of the Kings

Prowl to the Valley of the Kings, home to majestic African lions and lively Hamadryas baboons! Here, you can witness one of Zoo Knoxville’s coolest animal experiences: our talented animal staff training both species on a special wall that lets you get in on the action. Watch as the lions showcase their impressive skills and the baboons engage in their playful routines. This roaring good time is a rare opportunity to see these amazing animals up close and learn about their behaviors and training.
