Chattanooga Zoo to offer camel rides

CHATTANOOGA, TN -- An exciting new attraction is coming to the Chattanooga Zoo Memorial Day weekend. The "best little Zoo in America" recently announced that it will now offer camel rides to visitors beginning Saturday, May 26.

The Zoo's two camels, Sydney and Frank, have been thoroughly trained on giving rides by professional trainers out of Indiana. The Zoo is happy to announce that both camels are fully trained and prepared to take patrons of all ages around their new track.
