Have you ever wished your dog could join you for a trip to Zoo Knoxville? This weekend, that wish can come true!

Zoo Knoxville’s special Dog Days event takes place Saturday and Sunday, November 7–8, giving visitors an opportunity to explore designated areas of the zoo with their four-legged companions.

But don’t just show up with your pup! Dog tickets are limited and must be purchased online in advance. No walk-up dog tickets will be sold.

Before you go:

  • Dogs must be at least 4 months old and have current rabies vaccinations.
  • Each dog must have a dedicated adult handler, age 18 or older.
  • Dogs must remain on non-retractable leashes no longer than six feet.
  • Separate admission tickets are required for dogs and their owners. Zoo members need only purchase tickets for their dogs.
  • Guests must select an entry window when purchasing tickets.

Entry windows begin at 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Guests may stay until the zoo closes at 4 p.m.

Dog Days is presented by PetSafe Brands.
