Zoo Knoxville takes the privacy and security of our customers very seriously. We provide this Online Privacy because you have the right to know what information we collect, how it is protected, and how it is used.

The mission of Knoxville Zoological Gardens is to celebrate the wonders of the natural world. Through education, conservation, exhibition, research and recreation, the zoo will tell the stories of the animals, the plants, and the people who make up the communities of the earth. The zoo will help develop positive attitudes and actions about nature and about conservation as a local and global issue.

Our web site is an important tool in the pursuit of this mission. We have adopted the following privacy policy to make it safe and easy for you to use. This Privacy Policy is part of Zoo Knoxville’s Terms of Use.
