The Memphis Zoo has some elaborate international themes and has an incredible panda exhibit. They had to have special approval by the Chinese government for the habitat and were commended for the overall exhibit design.

I heard about that - a walking tour. It sounded pretty cool! And it's definitely a different angle at experiencing Memphis history.
