Interactive Zoo Map and Animal Discovery
The Map tab gives a visit a clear starting point by putting the zoo grounds and exhibit categories in one place. Visitors can browse the Animals category, move around the map, and use the Home, Map, Food, Membership, and Explore navigation to switch between planning tools without losing the main route.
That combination is useful when you are already inside the park and want to locate a habitat, check nearby amenities, or decide what to see next. The same map-centered approach also helps families prepare before arriving, turning a long list of exhibits into a practical route that can be revisited as the day changes.
Animal Stories, Videos, and Conservation Context
Memphis Zoo pairs exhibit discovery with animal-focused information, so a location can lead to more than a name on a map. Personalized animal stories, conservation statuses, and short videos give visitors extra context about the animals and the work connected with protecting them.
This mix works for casual visitors who want a quick explanation and for families or students who prefer to spend more time learning. You can move from a map category to a story or video, then return to the wider tour instead of carrying separate notes or searching across unrelated pages. Remote live feeds extend the experience when you are away from the zoo.
Food, Events, and Day Planning
The Food tab is the entry point for dining information within the same visitor workflow as the map, making it easier to pause for a meal without leaving the zoo guide. It gives the app a practical planning role alongside exhibit discovery, especially when a group needs to balance animal stops with food breaks.
Schedules add another layer by collecting daily and weekly events, feedings, and animal shows in one place. Before a visit, families can check which activities fit their time; while walking through the park, they can adjust the route around a keeper talk or feeding. The combination of map, food, and calendar-style information keeps a busy day easier to coordinate.
Membership Access and Remote Zoo Visits
The Membership section is designed for members who want to connect an existing zoo account inside the app. It asks for a membership ID and an email address or phone number, then provides a Connect action and a Help route so returning members know where to begin.
Membership access complements the public visitor tools rather than replacing them: the map and general planning areas remain useful for a day at the park, while member details can add account-specific access. If you are not visiting, video content and selected live feeds make the app a convenient way to keep up with animals and zoo programming from home.
