Zoo Gift Shops
The Zoo has three gift shops - the Elephant's Trunk, Bamboo Shop and Trading Post. We offer unique gifts for all ages including toys, plush, apparel, jewelry, art and decorative items. The Elephant's Trunk Zoo Shop is conveniently located just inside the main entrance of the Zoo and paid admission is not required to visit.
The Bamboo Shop is located at the end of CHINA, our giant panda exhibit. You will find pandas galore and gifts from China with that special Asian Flare.
At the entrance to our Northwest Passage exhibit lies the Trading Post featuring bear, wolf, sea lion and other Alaskan animal-related gifts for all ages. You will also find that the art and iconic symbols of the Northwest tribes add to the character of this shop.
The gift shops are owned and operated by the Memphis Zoological Society. All proceeds from the sales support the operating budget of the Zoo.
Gift shops are open during Zoo operating hours. You can call the Elephant's Trunk Zoo Shop directly at 901-333-6776
