First time here and I truly loved it. It was so different from other zoos here in Florida. Definitely a first for me to be able to kayak around some of the animals. It was a very fun experience for my son and I. There is so much to see. There is plenty of shade so you stay cool and gives it more natural setting. But my favorite part was the section where you can go kayaking in the actual zoo. It was great! If you are in the area. Check it out. I do recommend getting their early as a rush of people came in around 11am and got really crowded.

This is a nice Zoo. It may not be the largest in the area but it is still very good. The volunteer staff were very friendly and helpful. The Zoo has a good sellection of animals that seemed to have plenty of room to roam around and seemed to be well adjusted in their enclosures. This Zoo is a little more for younger children but adults will enjoy it too. There are sections were you can actually walk around with free roaming Kangaroos, Emus and birds. This is a great place to enjoy the Florida flora and fauna from around the World. We had a good time and will be coming back again in the future.

UPDATE: Revisiting the ZOO with both my kids and family. First visit was just me and my daughter. Highly recommend this place where you can spend easily spend few hours with your little ones or family. We found all the staff so helpful and knowledgeable. Admission tickets were reasonable, free parking. The zoo is small but good enough that you do not get tired like any other theme parks (especially with the kids). We made it through in about 4 hours which includes the kids play time at the Paws On (Small water pool). Kiddos loved it. We did not do the Train, Kayaking or the Zip line. Over all fun for the kids.

My visit to Brevard Zoo was a solid 5/5 adventure! The excitement of feeding giraffes lettuce and interacting with birds using nectar cups and popsicle sticks with seeds made the day unforgettable. The kangaroo walking exhibit was a unique thrill, reflecting the zoo's commitment to diverse and engaging experiences. What stood out even more was the zookeepers' exceptional knowledge and friendliness. They were always eager to share valuable information, enhancing the overall educational aspect of the visit. Make sure to bring a few quarters to feed the fish, turkeys, deer, etc!!

Such a beautiful little zoo. The habitats look enriching and the animals look healthy. I've been to a lot of zoos and this just may be the best one I've visited. You can feed giraffes for 2-5 bucks. Unheard of up north. You can walk around with kangaroos. Great experience.

Beautiful big park. Lots to see. Very clean as well.

First and foremost I have to mention the lunch spot Nourish 321; you should definitely plan to have lunch there! We had the club sandwich, which was basically 2 sandwiches with fresh cooked bacon and comes with lots of vegetables and multi-grain bread and chips. We also purchased the fresh brewed ice tea, Banana and naval orange. I was so impressed with the healthiness, quality and deliciousness of the lunch available. We are so used to paying a boat load for food that is sub par at these types of places; this just wasn't the case here. I highly recommend. Ask for the zoo, it was such a nice experience and they had a nice variety of animals. My favorite animals to see were the giraffes and the cheetahs. You can feed both the giraffes and some of the birds and this is extremely fun. The Birds Landing all over you can make for some hilarious moments. They will be getting a new lion exhibit soon and we will be back to enjoy that also!

What an incredible experience on a rainy Florida day. The zoo was practically empty given the weather and the zoo staff could not have been more accommodating. There were staff or volunteers at nearly every exhibit and they went out of their way to answer questions and provide information. The volunteers went out of their way to inform and educate us, and not just say hello, it really makes the experience so much more worth it. Feeding giraffe, the birds, the rain ride, the kangaroos — all of it was incredible! Buy your tickets in advance to save a few bucks, and definitely visit the gift shop after. All of the add-on experiences are 100% worth it!

We had a great time with our adult daughter, who is in Vet school. The layout of the zoo is great, and the animals seem well cared for. It is a great place to spend the day with family. Will definitely be back again.

Visited for my grandson's 3rd birthday. (also New Years Day). His favorite part was feeding the giraffes. Beautiful gentle giants. I was impressed by all the Zoo volunteers and staff members who shared facts and information on each animal.

This zoo was pretty good. The only reason I rated it 4 stars was because there were a lot of animals that were out of the exhibits. There are 4 main branches and a kids place. Food was expensive but I expected that going in. One cool thing this zoo offered was kayaking in the exhibits. There is a train ride. It's $4 a person but I wouldn't recommend the extra money. It's not that great. Like most zoos you are able to feed the giraffes and birds.

This zoo holds a special place in my heart as a little kid I would come here with my grandmother to visit Gus the polar bear. After he died I didn't come back for years but I recently went with my father, my wife and my son. It's still got that same warm family feel. The children's zoo is a little dangerous at the beginning but once we got to the petting area my kid (who loves cows) refused to let us leave and used all our change to feed the bull they have. Afterwords we bought him a stuffed cow in the gift shop for around $20 and that is his new favorite toy he sleeps with it every night. I'm happy to see they kept up with the times but also kept that same family friendly feeling I remember as a child.

One of the smaller zoos I've been to, but seriously one of the best! We spent about 3 hours there just exploring and we didn't even see everything. There are a large variety of animals and creatures to see. I also found their concessions to be reasonably priced and they have a wide variety of options there too. We road the train which was a blast and the splash pad was a highlight for my daughter! We will definitely be back.

Yesterday was Boo at the Zoo, we took my littles to trick or treat at the Zoo. The employees here are so helpful and so pleasant, You can tell they enjoy their jobs. The price to get in is not too bad, but joining the zoo is well worth it. You can come anytime. you can see all the things they do for the community. As a local zoo this is a great place to visit . I am a school bus driver and come to the zoo often. They work with the schools to do Zoo School, where the students spend their day in the zoo doing school work.

We had a great time today at the zoo! Tons of animals took a few hours to do! Giraffes are so fun to feed bring some cash so you can feed animals such as great day spent with family!

It is beautiful, and it's still a work in progress. The changes are amazing and well thought out. They considered all the surrounding of each animal as home as possible. I enjoyed all of the park attendants and all the information they had to offer!! My Grandprincesses enjoyed every moment of it. Have to go back and see the Lions!!! The 3 brothers are as majestic as ever!

A must see on your list if you're in the city for a day. Entrance fee price is acceptable for this wonderful zoo. Don't miss the Bird Children's Zoo which is located outside of the main entrance. We spent 2 hours here.

I love this place! So perfect for kids and adults all ages. They have awesome animals like rhinos, giraffes, monkeys, and snakes! You can even feed the giraffes 🦒 which is always a hit with the kids! We went on the train ride which was amazing and insightful. I loved the camels I got to see! We fed the fish as well and the kids got in the hurricane machine which is WONDERFUL at cooling you down when you're hot! Plus its really fun 😁 There is a zip line course which I want to try next time. All in all its such a nice place to go on a weekend trip with the family!

This was our second time visiting this zoo and once again it didn’t disappoint. We went to the Boo at the Zoo event and it was an excellent experience. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful zoo!

One of the best zoos I’ve been to. The giraffe enclosure was just amazing and being able to feed the giraffe, his name was Doc. My daughter & I loved the experience. Lots of animals to look at. Being able to walk around the kangaroo enclosure was interesting as well. Just being able to be close to animals that you don’t see everyday was amazing. The staff and volunteers at the zoo are helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you everyone!

Amazing zoo great staff .The animals are beautiful. All the volunteers are amazing and the kayaks are lovely you get to see the Africa loop animals up closer. The aviary opened back up and feeding the birds is so much fun. *Highly recommend to buy tickets online they are cheaper*

One of the coolest zoos we’ve been to! Wildlife was able to come close without being too close. We fed and pet a giraffe, they have a splash area for the kids, a train to take you through the zoo, plenty of informative signs. Would’ve loved to be able to take the kayak tour- unfortunately, little kids don’t sit still 😞 The volunteers were helpful and friendly. Great for kids! Will definitely visit again!

The staff is so friendly! I didn't encounter one rude staff! That goes along way. Appreciate the warm welcome! This place is pretty Kool! The family had a great time. Thank You!

An older zoo that needs some maintenance. We went on a Sunday and several of the exhibits didn’t have animals in them. Snake exhibit was tiny. On the positive side, there’s a good bit of shade which helped with the summer Florida heat in July. They had multiple species together which was interesting. Some of the bird cages were open air so they would fly by overhead. Not a bad way to spend 3 hours.

We recently purchased a zoo membership, and we're very happy we did. There's so much to do and to see regardless of one's age. I'd recommend going to this zoo, but I'm afraid that's not enough. Go to this zoo SEVERAL TIMES!!! There's simply too much fun to be had for a single visit.

What an amazing zoo! You feel fully immersed in each of the lands. Got to see some really cool animals and got to feed a giraffe! Definitely a must see if you’re in the area. The train ride is worth the extra fee

Great time today. This was my family's first excursion since lockdown began in March due to my daughter being medically fragile and it was there perfect choice. Most people were distancing without being asked and make were being worn. The animals seemed to be excited to be out today and it made for an enjoyable day!

It's a beautiful park. It's green. It's beautiful. If you come on a trip, I can be your guide. Leave me a message.

The park is Beautiful, so a pleasant walk, and jogging with family, and friends or if u prefer to take just yourself, there's park workers, and security maintaining the safety, of others who enters the Park.

First time visiting. Really nice Zoo. First thing I love about this zoo is that a majority of it is shaded by trees. The staff working at the Flamingo Cafe do an amazing job keeping the lines down and getting online orders out quickly. Food bot too bad. The only negative about the eating area is the smell. Not sure if it’s the water, the breeze of animal feces or both, but at times it was hard to think about eating with that smell. The family members who rode the train really enjoyed it. Overall an enjoyable day with the family.

Very fun and interesting visit. Great variety and quantity of animals in very good condition. Nice vegetation. Very good treatment of staff. And at the end of the hot day my son was able to cool off in a refreshing and fun pool.

Amazing natural-setting, walk in the wild zoo! Several themed loops and an awesome kids zone (complete with a splash pool and gopher tortoise playground!) off of a large central loop. Very interactive zoo, with a kayaking trail through wildlife exhibits, giraffe and exotic bird feedings, and walk-through aviaries and kangaroo paddock! Several animal trails through the treetops (for both Spider Monkeys and jaguars!) create an inside-the-exhibit environment for the humans at the zoo. Combined with the accompanying (and equally amazing)Treetop Trek, the Brevard Zoo makes for an awesome day on the Space Coast!

We had a great time! Plenty of things to see, lots of things for the little ones to do! Interactive and friendly staff! They offer kayaking, feeding the fish,turtles, birds and giraffes ranging from .25 cents to $5. They have Zip lining, a fun area for the kids to play and burn some excess energy and an option to enjoy an adult beverage while the kiddies take a break for some dip n dots . 😉

Great zoo! Not too big and many animals to explore. A little pricey but worth it. Very clean and the animals looked well taken care of. I will definitely be coming back.

Really well designed for a community zoo showing its love for wildlife and educating visitors. We spent 5 hours of enjoyable viewing and learning. Good layout provided lunch opportunity halfway through, which was noon, with a 10a.m. start. Plenty of extremely friendly and knowledgeable volunteers located throughout the facility offered great info and insights to visitors. Spendy food (as expected) provided pretty decent portions and quality for lunch (with good cover from the sun). The whole facility was designed with shade in mind and hardcover at the exhibits provided protection from a (longer than expected) downpour.

It started to rain almost immediately after we paid for our admission. This made the trip a lot more enjoyable!! We got to see the animals doing things they normally do not do. They were standing in formations that we hypothesized as a natural instinct during thunderstorms. Some animals did not come out of their hidey-holes and for good reason. These were some of the smaller animals that preferred to stay safe from the storm. Anyways, enjoy some of the short clips I made during my time at the Zoo. Leave a like, comment, and share my reviews! Thank you everyone for the 80,000 views!! 👊🏾😎

What a beautiful zoo. Great layout, wonderful variety of well cared for animals. Pleasant and knowledgeable zoo attendants located through the park. One of the top three zoos I’ve visited. Good signage and the ability to feed animals. Bring quarters as we couldn’t find working machines to exchange cash for quarters. Don’t miss feeding the Lorikeets. Beware they may land on your head. You may want to hold the nectar for little ones as I saw a child spill the small cup of nectar in their hair as they reached to get the bird off their head. It can be scary for some. Surprised me when I had 9 lorikeets on me when I walked in with the nectar. It was fun though and I recommend it. Price was fair and we had a great time. Highly recommend.

Wow! We had a blast! Lots animals! Had a train! Kids loved the animals! Had plenty of areas to walk around and learn about the animals they had there. Staff was very friendly and helpful in anyway they could! Definitely making a visit again! The giraffes we’re a lot of fun to feed! A Place for all ages! Pricing seems reasonable for whatever you want to do! Get there early to get a good parking space. You can also use your card around the park which made it easy to participate in the activities. Splash area for kids too! Go check it out!!! Highly Recommended!

This is a really nice zoo! The paths and buildings are really nice. The animals are great! I've been at zoos with more animals, but this zoo was still nicer. No animals from cold climates here. The staff are really friendly and conversational.

Absolutely amazing experience! Unfortunately, part way through our day around the aviary, my friend’s chronic pain flared up and we were nervous to ask for the assistance of a wheelchair since we had left his cane at home. The staff was instantly accommodating and helpful, we had a wheelchair over by us in minutes! Nearly everything was wheelchair accessible, sad the tree top area’s elevator was down but we will absolutely come back later on to experience it!

Great time to go. Much improved. I have not been to the zoom in over a year, since at least before the covid craziness, and decided to buy a membership and visit it this year. I am really glad I did. The basic layout is not that different but they have been improving while I was away. They are checking for identification, ticket and masks as you enter. Then you have a choice to go left or right. Either way is fine since it is a big circle and returns you to the entrance. There are several habitats that branch off of the center circle. Each are unique and worth exploring. We noticed that they have added a small treasure hunt and a far more extensive monkey habitat to the zoo. Very neat to visit and worth the price of admission. A must see for the Brevard area.

Fantastic experience, highly interactive and amazing. Most of the enclosures are open so you can really SEE the animals, and there’s a lot of ways to interact with them as well. The animals are extremely well cared for and loved. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to see the animals in the best way possible and interact with animals they might never have the chance to.

We want to visit this place, but they discriminate against people who don't and can't wear masks. Shame on them for not even allowing us in for not wearing a face diaper. We are healthy people!

This is a wonderful park that does not get the attention it deserves. Was the site of Worlds Fair. Really only gets the attention during Tennis Season. Itd actually a little bigger than The Famous Central Park, however doesn't get the funding that central park does. It's worth a visit easy to get to by car on the 7 train.

One of my favorite things about Central Park. It’s a small zoo in a big space. The thing I loved is it’s a natural environment. The rocks and trees the animals are surrounded by, are also found throughout the park. Animals seem to be in a more natural environment.

Clean place. Nice. Good staff. Will always remember my experience here as a child. All of the enclosures make the soo much better :) Anyways, have a great day whoever is reading this :))

(Translated by Google) It is a magical place for those of us who love animals, learn from them and meet some species that they did not know. I fully recommend it. That place is wonderful !!! (Original) Es un sitio mágico para quienes amamos los animales, aprender de ellos y conocer algunas especies que no conocía. Lo recomiendo completamente. That place is wonderful!!!

(Translated by Google) Whether during the day or at night, the park is always a great experience for young and old. My family and I were here on vacation and it was just amazing to see so much nature within a big metropolis. (Original) Egal ob am Tag oder in der Nacht, der Park ist immer wieder ein schönes Erlebnis für Alt und Jung. Meine Familie und ich waren hier im Urlaub und es war einfach unglaublich schön, so viel Natur innerhalb einer großen Metropole zu sehen.

2nd time going to this zoo. Loved it the first time & easily spent 2-3 hrs here. But very disappointed this second time & how rude the employees were. Especially the one of the ladies w/ kayaking group that explored the zebra path. She was rude & had an attitude. Could have been more professional w/ simple questions.

Very different experience here. Animals are actually really up close and the staff were really friendly. Will definitely be coming back and will tell a friend or two.

Boo at the Zoo just 1 of the fun events during the year. Have a grandparents pass, so able to enjoy the zoo with the grands all year long. Always seems to be a new addition to view

Great zoo. We found it easy to go around the way it is designed. The childrens area is fantastic. There are plenty of the viewing areas for each animal. All the volunteers are awesome. The sand designs were a real treat. The train ride is a must. You get to see animals only see on the train. The kangaroos are great. You can walk inside their enclosure. We really enjoyer our visit. Plus the discount since we are members of the Tampa zoo. Great fun for the whole family. No matter their age.

Had so much fun today visiting the zoo! I haven’t been in over 3 years, and can definitely tell the zoo made some changes. Always love coming for a few hours. I am excited to come back to see the lions.

This place was awesome I highly recommend it. I got to kayak through part of the zoo and feed a giraffe lettuce out of my hand. If you enjoy being around animals this is definitely a place to check out. There were so many different animals at this zoo. You can tell all the animals are well kept, taken care of, and look healthy.

We've always enjoy going to the zoo. And, the Brevard Zoo is a great place to visit with family and friends. We were very excited about the giraffe exhibit. The walkway is at just the right height for them to stick their head over the railing and be able to feed them. The children there really loved doing this. Of course there are lots of other exhibits, the bears were frisky, the alligators were sunning themselves and the monkeys were a hoot, especially the baby.

Great place to spend the day learning about environmental and wildlife conservation. Plenty of locations to hydrate and snack. Food prices were reasonable. Terrific water play area for kids. Staff and volunteers were friendly and informative, especially at the Kangaroo enclosure and Aviary. All the boardwalks were in good repair. Plenty of shaded locations to sit, but suggest wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and comfortable clothes and shoes. Well organized exhibits. Outside food and drinks prohibited. All animals appeared healthy. Wheelchair accessible and large paved parking lot. They also have tram/train and canoe tours, but I didn't participate in those experiences, so I can't review that part of the zoo. Bathrooms were clean. The gift store was neat and organized and had a variety of merchandise at different price points.

Fantastic experience for kids, teens and adults to spend the day learning about animals and enjoying nature. Friendly staff; parking was a breeze. Lots of shade so you won’t suffer the Florida heat as much. There’s even a mini lagoon for little kids to splash in the sun.

I love our Brevard Zoo and hold annual passes plus 1 for the past 2 years. I like that they are always looking to improve the living conditions for all the animals. My favorite is seeing the Kangaroos run loose in front of you, hand feeding the Giraffes and the Aviaries. Best time to go is when they open for the day, 9:30am. Summers are a bit hot, so I generally go as much as possible in the cooler months.

It’s a zoo that raises great animals. Every corner is well-detailed. The staff are very enthusiastic. They have designed the animals’ living environment and space in a scientific way. The animals look very relaxed and content. Forced to operate and perform, but the animals seem happy to show themselves to tourists, friendly environment, happy animals.

It was nice but we couldn’t get close to the rhinos and the lions were cooped up in a small cage because they are building a bigger one. The giraffes are by far the best part because you can feed them but you have to wait until they decide to walk up to the viewing platform so you could be in for a wait. The food was decent. We had the loaded fries. They have beer $10 a bottle and food is right about the same. The little monkeys are cool. The volunteers were informative.

Loved this zoo!! Plenty of animals. Highly recommend feeding the birds, cool experience. Also the kid's zoo gives you the chance to see kangaroos very close up. Feeding the Giraffes was awesome and a cool experience. Highly recommend this zoo.

First time visiting. Very Good. Staff members and volunteers are very knowledgeable and we're always helping out and giving information about the animals and exhibits. Clean and overall very good.

The stingrays were so cool 😎 very kid friendly. My grandkids loved the Brevard zoo ❣️

A wonderful community zoo the whole family can enjoy. The zoo is passionate about conservation and protection. They have also worked very hard in the last 10 years to update exhibits and make them interactive/more creative so you really connect with the animals. Go mid-week and you really feel like a VIP. Plan for about 2 hrs to walk around, longer if you plan on riding the train or kayaks. Lots of eager Volunteers and docents throughout always excited to share about the exhibits. Every time you go it's different.

We really enjoyed the zoo today. We stayed open to close and saw every thing and had a decent lunch as well. Other than some volunteers who felt the need to be mask natzis it was a perfect day.

Nice little zoo to get your walkies. The zoo is nicely divided up and has plenty of bird folk to say hello to. Great for kids to explore. *Covid caution* The zoo was crowded, social distancing was not a thing, people would elbow to elbow just to say hello to animals you were busy looking at. Not a lot of face coverings, especially in the kids recommend for the guidelines, and a few coughing about. (Great job parents)

Amazing, cute zoo, follow the board walk. The train ride is fun for the young ones. Very informative staff and understanding. Check out the Kangaroo enclosure ! And the averies.

Great zoo. Great layout, knowledgeable employees, very clean and well maintained. Fun for the whole family

We had a wonderful time with all of the awesome animals and cool things to do , a special Thanks to all the wonderful staff who made our visit the best 😉🌹

Just amazing. This Zoo is awesome.

Zoo was interesting and fun .Went there with my wife another couple and a friend . Masks are required but we all had a chance to get together outside in a safe environment.

Great afternoon at the zoo!

I wonderful time for all ages. So many animals to see and opportunities to have an up close and personal experience. Join the journey and see the zoo from the trees.

Awesome 👍

So Awesome..had a fantastic time!

Great Zoo and they serve alcohol now. Just eat before you get there.

One of the best zoo's in america in my opinion. Bongo at the zoo

Great place!

Wonderful experience, clean, covid safe environment, at least the park is following recommended guidlines

Mask requirement even when outdoors with social distancing.

It was very fun

What not very busy. Go early or late to see the animals in action more. Please enjoy my photos.

This is a wonderful zoo. Well worth a day or half day. They are constantly improving it and adding more exhibits.

They should be ashamed of themselves The zoo has very high admission prices and they don't give locals and Florida residents any good discounts. They think they are disney and I hope people don't go there.

Good set up, nice staff, great experience!

Nice zoo. Lots to do. Reasonable prices to kayak. Feeding the birds a must!!

This is a wonderful zoo. Not too big. Very nice natural settings. Good for a few hours of enjoy animals, birds, and reptiles in a suitable environment.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. Fully set. Excellent place to be with family, relax and enjoy. (Original) Hermosa experiencia. Totalmente ambientado. Excelente lugar para estar en familia, relajarse y disfrutar.

Got the year round membership for the whole family since they have cute animals and plenty of ways for the younger kids to enjoy a couple hours outside... I take my 3 year old and 7 year old almost weekly for exercise and a nice day with the animals and they really enjoy it!

Always an amazing experience and the staff is nothing short of helpful and happy, I have the year membership with the zoo and its an amazing deal and its fantastic as it supports the zoo and the animals and their care. I highly recommend if your in the area or live near by to take a visit and have a great time! The kids really enjoyed it!

Fun zoo to visit. I come everytime, I am in the area.

IT'S PRETTY LIT MAN.... but monkeys are monkeys, and they will never change... AND THAT'S THAT.... Ya and that's Lit...

It's a beautiful zoo, great exhibits and the animals have beautiful huge enclosures

Really comfy the giraffe exhibit its awesome..

Amazing renovations throughout the Latin America loop and great interconnected exhibits throughout. Covid precautions throughly enforced throughout the zoo. Great experience, very educational and wonderful sites.

One of the smallest and most expensive Zoo’s I’ve ever been too. It was cleaned well and I liked the kayaking but for $24 for adults and $14 for kids for entry and you also have to pay for everything else that’s enjoyable to do like animal feeding and kayaking...

Nice place to spend time with little kids

This was my first time visiting the Brevard Zoo. It was a very nice zoo to visit. I was very impressed. It was a weekday when we went so not everything was going like the shows and I'm not sure if it was due to COVID. I do like the layout of the zoo as well. There are a couple of downside though. For one I was not impressed with the train ride. Not something I would do again. But another big disappointment is the lack of information for the animals. A lot of the enclosures just had the name of the animal. Seems like I needed to do my own research on the animals via Google.

What a wonderful experience, my first visit to the Brevard Zoo. Super knowledgable and friendly staff and volunteers, they really made this an exemplary holiday experience with family. The 'residents' are active and healthy, and many are interactive. Don't miss the giraffe section of Expedition Africa. The food was real good, and a full bar is available. I will return once the restrictions are lifted and all sections are open! Well Done!

If I could give it a 0 stars I would we never made it in they would not honour coupons that they said have been since 2018 but are all over the place in the visitor's centres worst place ever would not know as I've proven by not going there nor will ever spend money at this place I wish I had a number to corporate

Great place to spend afternoon with kids

It was cool I like the animal

Great zoo! Plenty for kids of all ages to do and to keep them entertained.

Was very cool for the whole family we have a autistic son thats almost 5 and he was absolutely amazed with the giraffes next timewe are gonna do the tree top trek hopefully

What a wonderful place to spend time with the Grandchildren! They loved it all, especially feeding the giraffes

Loved it!

Always a pleasure to visit this zoo. It's accessible, well staffed, well organized. The animal enclosures are always clean and habitats are always relatively authentic to the animals they house. Diverse flora and fauna. Bathrooms appear ADA-Compliant but aren't necessarily accessible. The bathroom floors are very wet and the grab bars are filthy, so bring rubber gloves and sanitizer. Bathrooms are stocked with toilet seat covers. There are hand washing or sanitizing stations throughout the zoo. Social distancing rules, hand washing rules, and time of entry rules are in place and enforced. Mask rules are lax, I'd say under 50% of patrons were masked. Staff and volunteers actively encouraged visitors to comply with the rules, but there's only so much you can do. The petting areas are hands-off but you can still go in and see those animals up close. You can feed giraffes and feed birds. There are 25¢ bird and fish feeder vending machines throughout the park. The gift shop is 25% more expensive than most zoo gift shops, so if you give your child a $10 budget expect to help them out with an extra $8-9 for upcharge and tax. The least expensive hat I saw was $25, for example. The food was expensive, dry, tasteless, and terrible. The napkins fall apart, so pack paper towels or wipes. If you shell out $9 for a flimsy, refillable ICEE cup, expecting to pay $3 at the next concession spot because that's what's advertised in the cafe area, you're in for a surprise when it's $5.99 at the next place. The animals all appeared well fed, appropriately socialized (or appropriately not socialized), and comfortable with their spaces. No animals appeared stressed or unwell, and I've never seen it any different from that in this zoo. It's worth noting that there are lots of signs with info about the animals, but they're all English-only, even though much of the patronage is Spanish-speaking families. There are lots of great facts and messages of conservation that could be shared if those families received the same messaging. Always a pleasure. Much thanks to the volunteers, staff, supporters, and sponsors.

Great 3 hour experience

This zoo is very beautiful and comfortable for leisure time. I also recommend every people to visit this place.

i like the monkeys

Such a fun zoo! Feeding the giraffes and the birds was so much fun for my 2 yr old son.

Fun for everyone, this place is awesome 😎😎😎...

Perfect zoo to bring younger kids to! Everything is laid out well.

This place is always fantastic!

100% recomendado!!! Un dia hermoso en familia, los animales esta super accesibles ( no.se pueden tocar) pero los ves muy cerca y sueltos!! Todo estaba muy limpio! Los precios del tren son 4$ por persona de 3 años en adelante. Puedes dar una hoja de lechuga a las jirafas por 2 $ ( una experiencia super linda) puedes sacarte cuanta foto quieras con los animales y el zoológico no te intenta vender las impertinentes fotos que algunos zoologicos hacen. La experiencia de entrar a la jaula de los pájaros a darles de comer por 2$ es super linda para los niños. Nosotros comimos chicken tenders y papas fritas y el pollo estaba fresco y delicioso. Los rinocerontes, los antilopes, las zebras, todos los animales se veían espectaculares y bien cuidados, me gustó mucho que empleados del zoológico pasaban por tu lado y te explicaban cosas acerca del animal que estabas viendo, como por ejemplo una empleada nos dijo que un animal que no recuerdo el nombre de la especie, nos dijo que se llamaba Antonio y que era el macho y que la hembra se llamaba Mía y que en esa especie de animales la hembra es mas grande que el macho. Fascinante!! Tienen un puesto donde puedes beber cócteles, tienen helados, una tienda de souvenirs, el precio de la entrada es muy accesible 25$ por adulto. Se recomienda comprar los.tickets online para reservar tu spot por el problema del Covid hay entrada limitada....se exige mascarilla y vi a varios empleados del zoológico pedirle a alguna gente que porfavor se arreglarán su mascarilla por encima de la nariz. BRAVO!!! recomiendo este.zoologico 100% para un dia en familia donde los niños.pueden experimentar sensaciones muy lindas con los animales. Gracias!!!

Great experience, lots to see, explore and take in. 😀

An apparently well cared for collection of animals in a smallish park like setting.

Wow its been 2 years since we last went. I was impressed with the new exhibits and great changes that have been made. The volunteers and employees are great. Very helpful and knowledgeable of the exhibits and animals. Plan to spend 3-4 hours for the total experience from feeding of the giraffes animal encounters and kayaking. Nice train ride as well!

First visit to this zoo. We enjoyed ourselves. Only complaint I had was the woman working the feed the birds area wasn't friendly at all. Is what it is I guess.

Nice zoo. I believe it is a bit pricey. The place is well taken care of and clean. I would go more often and bring more family if price was lower.

Brevard zoo is an incredible place. Beautifully kept. Staff and volunteers always friendly. Lucky to have such a beautiful zoo so close.

I will say, I have been to a fair share of zoos in my life, and this definitely ranks as one of my favorites! My boyfriend and I had such a special experience! We loved feeding the lorakeets. The enclosures are great: spacious, interesting for the animals, with plenty of real plants. The majority of the animals were active. (The jaguars were awesome to watch!) We even witnessed a few training sessions! (With some huge fish and a couple of monkeys!) Oh, and they also offer the chance to feed giraffes and see the African animals while paddling a kayak! Very cool experience! Highly recommended! (They have RV parking!) And what's extra cool is that you can catch a rocket launch the next morning, as Cape Canaveral is just a few miles away!

Excellent zoo!! All the animals were either active or in view. The employees and volunteers were super nice too!!

Use to volunteer there years ago, they have made many improvements since then, very well-made interactive and entertaining zoo

Great day at the zoo! After a year of quarantine our visit was a great release of stress somehow. Outdoor sinks are available for washing hands & masks are required in most areas for everyone over 9 y.o. Its an easy stroll with clean, wide paths. The animals seem well cared for & the zookeepers shared their knowledge with us.

I’ve only visited this Zoo one time when I lived in Melbourne, Fl. This was in 2013 and it was expensive back then. I can only imagine what it must be now. I will say that it had a lot to do there though. We were entertained for more than half a day. I don’t know what upgrades and new attractions they have now but it’s definitely worth a visit. Very nice zoo

Awesome zoo

I love this zoo has so much to do and the zipline is great also I recommend this place

We had such a fun time! This has been one of my best experiences at a local zoo. I will say we visited “pre pandemic” so I don’t know what precautions they have in place. I urge you to do your own research & visit if you want! It’s fantastic.

The food and staff are top notch! The staff is so nice at this cafe. Ashley helped me and my family and was the sweetest. The food is absolutely amazing! It’s always fresh and you can’t go wrong with anything you chose on the menu. I would highly recommend coming here with your family for lunch over any of the rest I around the area. We always make sure we come hungry when we visit this zoo!

Covid rules apply which really didn't detract from the experience at all. I love this zoo!

I was really disappointed with what I saw, which was hardly nothing but birds and a few monkeys. I'm blessed to of had an experience with my family but we were not warned that the animals, a lot of them, would be put away due to the weather. We choose this time of year and during the week because we knew there would be no one around, esp with Covid19 but there was no way to see the animals that were in a warming place/home. No cheetahs. No jaguars. No giraffes. The animals you really come to see at the zoo were no where to be found. The closed to train down early and the food stations, why allow us to come into your establishment when everything closed. 3:50 was the last train, we arrived at 3 and didn't actually make it there after looking through the empty enclosures until 4:15 . Idk if it was bad timing but we wasted a two hour drive back and forth and three of us with a wheelchair $100. I'm very upset.

Hands down the best zoo I have ever been to. The animals are very healthy and kept in a nice space. The staff is everywhere and always reaching out to help. Good story boards. Nice looper with offshoots to different themes.

Super happy with our experience with Brevard Zoo. We have been to larger zoos but I was impressed with the number of animals that we were able to view. There was plenty of information at every area and we hit some peak times for animal movements. Masks are only required on the side areas but the main circle is mask free, with social distancing. Refreshments were available and typical zoo cost. Overall, highly recommend, we are considering a membership.

Very nice time with granddaughters and very helpful staff

Tbis zoo was awesome. It's not too big which makes it more easy to see the animals up close. You can even feed the giraffes lettuce. They have a kangaroo and emu walk where you just walk around them with no barriers. There us a food area that is good. The is little to no cellular service in spots. Gift store is nice. There are 8 spots for RVs / buses.

Super fun! ♡

Was ok small zoo do not go on trail you only see 2 animals. Not enough hand sanitizers. Went on trail ride they didn't Santize between rides

Beautiful place and shady

Lots a nice, happy exotic animals.

Excellent zoo. Volunteers are extremely helpful. Beautiful surroundings.

Awesome, the Brevard Zoo recently added parking, wow, looks fantastic. The Rafiki run through the zoo for over 900 runners. The lions will be coming to the zoo next year and they will have a run called the Lion Lope next year to kick things off. Running Zone, Health First, Bagel 13 some great sponsors among so many others.

Great zoo! Love how the exhibits are set up.

Awesome, one of the best zoo around.. highly recommend, will be returning

Had a great time

Beautiful park in queens. I have been there quite often and it was always great. So much history, from Walt Disney and the world exhibition to world class tennis championships. The architecture and the structure is stunning. Besides all that it is also a nice Park just to hang out....

The park is excellent for dog walking (my dog had a blast!) and it's fun to watch the cricket and soccer games that are always going on. I personally love it that locals use the park so much - it keeps the neighborhood alive and vital. Public bathrooms are plentiful and very clean for a city park.

Love being here...but sometimes it is so much effort to walk from The subway. Beautiful in the snow!

The main reason I was visiting this place, its the Men in Black movie. I wanted to see where was the movie scene was taken. It is a nice huge park with tons of flowers. For walking, resting its a perfect place. There is also nearby the us open Tennis championship hard court.

This park is always brimming with life. Most people come there to take a walk, relax, hangout with friends, and BBQ. There are areas to play just about any sport you can imagine, volleyball, soccer, tennis, mini golf, basketball, baseball, you name it! It even has an indoor gymnasium that includes an ice rink, swimming pool, and weight training room. You can purchase a Recreation Center membership for adults over 18 yo, i.e. $150 yearly membership with pool for those over 25 yo. It's free for those under the age of 18. Lockers are provided, but you would have to bring your own lock. For tennis, you would need a court permit to play, $15 for single 1-hour use and $100 for yearly membership for those 18 yo and above. You can also reserve a spot ahead of time. Again, it is free for those who are under 18 yo. Due to COVID-19, most of these single-use permit fee no longer apply. Also, some Recreation Centers may be closed. So please check the website before going.

A great place to go running in queens. A lot of open space and a great perimeter trail.

Lived 10 minutes from here my entire childhood. This place is a cultural hub. You'll find a bit of every nationality. My favorite are the ladies selling coffee and empanadas from their shopping carts. The kids also like bringing their bikes over to ride around the park.

Site of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs, loads of public sports and leisure facilities, the Queens Museum, not to mention the U.S. Open and Arthur Ashe Stadium. Great place to spend a day with family or friends!

If you need a good jog and HATE a mask..its time for me to cheat...I run without a mask but as I come near anyone pull up over my nose until safely away....there are very few people because its cold. Basically its time to run because few people in summer I won't take the chance to run with no mask so if your getting puggy this may be your time to run...basically run now in cold with no mask or summer with mask...if now just be certain the ice melted and soil dry because the flushing MEADOWS is like mud half around the lake.

The central park of queens, but with a lot more activities. Plus the park hosts a semi major league baseball team, and the US open.

Great place to park by the water and enjoy the scenery.

great for sight seeing! family and park day good for that too!

The park itself is a very beautiful park but it is overcrowded, very very hard to find a parking spot, if you are looking for a peaceful getaway this is not for you but if you enjoy games and people and noise, this is it!!

This place is poorly kept. There are signs for animals that are not there. This place is majority birds and monkeys. I am mostly upset and angry because the Jaguar they did have there looked very malnourished. We could see his ribs when he stood up. Once he started walking it was like he was hurt or limping. He was having a difficult time moving around. Something needs to be done. The animals here are supposed to be kept safe and treated correctly. These people definitely are not doing their jobs.

My 2 Autistic grandchildren / family were not allowed to bring in the children's drinks / snacks ( only thing they could / would drink and eat). The zoo needs to understand Autisic children are set in their behavior and if they wanted something to drink (grape drink and lactose free milk) or eat (ie., pink mickey crackers or puree foods) they couldn't have it. This had to be left in the car. Better allowances need to be given to those that suffer from austism when it comes to their diet.

AWESOME!!! PERFECT!!! CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN

This Zoo is awesome. Clean! Awesome animals

Awesome 👌

Arrived at zoo today, we was not aware of the zoo has changed to appt. The Only thing that pised me off was kids got to line we didn't have appointment we left with screaming kids.. And next appointment time was not until 2:30 pm. The drive in entrance did not say STOP do you have an appointment to get in.. Kids don't know covid rules they just want to see and feed animals. Truly disappointed. 😡😡😡😡

Great zoo for all ages. We really enjoyed its a not the biggest zoo but the exhibits are all done very well presented with very close viewing of in what appears very animal friendly areas. We did the kayak trip the guide was very informative. We will return with our granddaughter in the future.

Got to see all kinds of large animals up close. Closest I've ever been to them. Feed the giraffes if it's not too late. Have walk in areas with kangaroos, and with the birds. The walking areas in the zoo are filled with trees and wooden bridges. It's the best zoo I've ever been too. There are also all kinds of volunteers with time to tell you interesting things about the animals of the park.

Took my 8 year old and 2 year old. I absolutely loved the setup of the zoo. It had a lot of space and wasn’t overly crowded. I have been to a lot of zoos and this one was my favorite!! I didn’t appreciate being stalked by an employee that jumped all over my husband for taking his mask off for 2 seconds away from any people or animals to take a breath of fresh air. Was kind of crazy. We always follow the rules and regulations set up and make sure we were in a safe space for others. Other then that it was great !

Good wings. Nice service.

Beautiful zoo with a large number of exhibits considering its size.

Love this zoo

Great experience with the little ones

Nice zoo. Loved getting to feed the birds. Loved the guraffes & kangaroo part as well. Good overall experience.

Hands down the best zoo me and the family have ever been to. You have to make the drive where ever you live and come here, you will not regret it! Feeding the giraffes, feeding the parrots, walking through a family of KANGAROOS that are literally a foot in front of you! There is a really cool kiddy pool you can enjoy with the family as well. It’s an amazing experience. Will be coming back again!

It was absolutely gorgeous! So much to do for a family, well thought out.

Drove 3 hours with a 4 yr old and 2 year old to be told we couldn’t get in. Employees were very rude and unhelpful. Will never attempt to go to this place ever again.

Bring only your well behaved kids.

hope to receive some kind of email from the director of the park as my wife nearly lost her finger on the train ride due to the plexi glass not being affixed properly allowing it to trap my wife's finger and smash it pretty good , defiantly not worth 80$ and then charging you big money on food and drinks , find a better zoo don't know what's happened over the last 3 years but it's like it's gone down hill , since our last visit .

The ridiculousness of their fear of COVID here is beyond anything I've seen anywhere. Finally attempted a visit. Will not be back.

We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this zoo!! The volunteers are the ones that make your visit enjoyable. They are wonderful people. We are local so we go when we can.

Not the biggest zoo but everything was in nice shape And a decent variety of animals.

What a great place! We went early in the morning & all the animals were out & about. Bird feeding was a crazy experience. The baby monkey was so cute & the meerkats were fun to watch. Super clean bathroom & gift shop is a huge bonus!

If you're debating about going to this zoo, definitely do it! I've been to quite a few zoo throughout the east coast, and I had one of the best experiences at Brevard Zoo. All of the zoo keepers, workers, and volunteers are so kind, ready to answer any questions and give you a wealth of knowledge! I've never had such a hands on experience with animals before, being able to feed giraffes, kangaroos, deer and (hitchhikers) birds! We did the guided kayak tour as well, our guide Victoria was great, and gave us great local recommendations. Would definitely go back again!

By far the best zoo around! The staff is awesome and knowledgeable which really makes the zoo experience better. The animals are clearly well fed and loved and the grounds are so clean. If you can do the kayak tour, you won’t be disappointed! The membership is really worth it too!

Very nice zoo. Natural setting with lots of foliage and water features for the animals and human visitors to enjoy.

All Washington OK

Hands down the best zoo experience I have ever had. The volunteers were extremely knowledgeable and you could tell all the staff truly cared for the animals. Also they way the exhibits are set up not only always for the animals to have plenty of room but also great for getting "up close and personal".

Great

Beautiful Zoo. They due require masks to be worn from age 7 and up. The train ride was fun for the family.

Too many additions to mention! Great family place!

Overall, this is a great zoo! We went early-afternoon. It wasn’t overly crowded and there is a great variety of animals to see and things to do! I highly recommend kayaking the wetlands! It was so incredibly peaceful. Feeding the Lorikeets was a great time as well. The only issue I have, which is why I’m leaving 4 stars instead of five, is the vultures. I have visited many, many zoos across the US and have never seen so many vultures invading a zoo. I counted over 70 before I just stopped counting. At one point there was a small child looking at the whitetail deer exhibit, and a vulture swooped down, landed right next to her, and almost hit her. She was very frightened. I understand this is a tough situation to control, but I did feel very nervous for a majority of my time walking through the Rainforest and Wild Florida areas because of them.

Its very nice. Kayaking was great there. So if it is hotter than hades outside they have Lots of shade as u r walking around to see the animals. Would recommend to anyone who's up in that area or don't mind taking the long drive to get there. (Driving from Ocala)

Great choice over Bush gardens

Very relaxing and educational

This place is a zoo ha ha.

It was a fantastic day at the zoo. Kayaking was so much fun. The staff was very knowledgeable and such pleasant people. You could tell they all loved their job and their dedication to the zoo residents was very evident.

Wonderful Zoo! We love it. The food prices are VERY high though, 2 burgers and 3 cheese fries was nearly $50 🤯

Nice Zoo

Everyone tells you how big Central Park is, but you can never really understand until you’re there! Everything is so much better than you can imagine! It’s so big and clean and refreshing. The trails are a work of art in the way that they work with the landscaping to make it feel more organic and not like someone just cut flat trails. You really need an entire day (or 2!) to really see everything here. Lots of paths for walking, running, or biking mean it’s easy to get some good exercise in while seeing a beautiful park. c

Very nice atmosphere. Nice little variety of animals over a great place to visit with family. Great for the kids.

It was a very nice little zoo. Exhibits were very nice. Love the rain forest..

Amazing time. Animals were most lively of any Zoo I have ever been too other then a wild life sanctuary in AZ. Super clean, one way traffic flow, hand sanitizer everywhere, and slight line at the Penguins, but patrons were being counted and advanced appropriately. Pretty sure the parrot was trying to poop on people. snow leopards were magnificent. Pandas so energetic. We went at 2pm. Maybe be timing is everything.

We became members of the zoo this year and the first time going to the Central Park Zoo after visiting the Queens and Bronx Zoo. This one was smaller than I anticipated but well organized. The best part was the Tisch Children's Zoo which is disconnected from the big zoo. This area is nice for young kids that want to interact with the animals (a petting zoo). If we had to pay the price of admission I think we would have left wanting more but I guess those are NYC prices.

This place a medium sized zoo with a petting zoo 2. I loved the penguins & snow leopards the most. The Red Pandas r adorable. The reason I'm giving 4 * is because they force u 2 wear a mask in the HHHUUUMMMIIIDDD tropical exhibit where u can't breathe which is absolutely retarded. I think they should at least let u take it off there

Great zoo for when you are looking for a place to visit with kids who don't have a very long attention span or for when you don't have all day to spend at the zoo. Love the different "zones" because it was neat to see how the different animals interact with each other. Would definitely visit again!

Nice little zoo nestled in the most famous park in the world. They have a decent amount of animals (for a January visit especially) including: snow leopards, bears, seals, an aviary, red pandas, and a petting zoo with goats and sheep. Very covid safe and a great time for younger kids.

The tickets are cheap Zoo is very beautiful with cutest animals my youngest son really enjoyed there. we had great experience there just before covid-19.

Very cool place!

Very interesting. Have been already several times. Many animals.

מקום נחמד מאוד לבילוי עם ילדים. גן חיות נקי ומסודר. לא גדול במיוחד אבל מספק. בקיצור, החוויה משתלמת, מדורגת ונחמדה מאוד אהבתי אחזור לפה שוב!

(Translated by Google) Closed right now due to the pandemic (Original) Cerrado ahorita por la pandemia

Great zoo and the animals are up close.

Small zoo overall but a very nice way to spend a few hours when the weather is good.

This is a great little zoo!

Very nice small zoo

I GUESS ITS THE ONLY ZOO WITHOUT ANIMALS 😕

Walked through to reminisce of the many times I went there on school trips or with my family in the summer time. Very nostalgic...it seems so much smaller than I remember as a kid but, still a majestic experience.

Loved this zoo!!

Perfect daytime activity, in the city, with little ones during covid-19.

Awesome little zoo in Manhattan! The a sea lions are my favorite! Check out the petting zoo too!

Waw, expectacular.

Small but really great!

Omg I had a super wonderful time at the central Park zoo I went into different animal houses and saw different exhibits

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place (Original) Muy bonito lugar

You must to see!!! Not expensive

No snow leopards or bears during our visit. Tropical birds were cool. Feeding of the seals was also fun. Garbage cans were all turned over so it made throwing away kids garbage a bit difficult...

I loved this little Zoo! Cosy park, well organized spaces, great for a day out with kids

Does Central Park Zoo have lions, zebras, hippos, and giraffes?

Very nice zoo. We had a great time. Lots of different animals and birds.

The Zoo wasn’t considered by Olmsted and Vaux and was preceded by a menagerie near the Arsenal. The menagerie was founded in 1864 and is considered the first public zoo in New York City. It evolved into a zoo with animals given (or just abandoned) in the park. The zoo that we know and love today was opened on December 2, 1934. The Zoo is a year-round attraction and has animals from different climate areas, recreating successfully their natural habitats. The Zoo fields a sea lion pool in its center, that has an underwater area offer a peek to their underwater shenanigans. There is a cool feature on the brick arch between Central Park Zoo and Tisch Children’s Zoo – the “George Delacorte Musical Clock”. Every day you can see a band of animals coming out a half an hour and an hour. The band is composed of a bear with a tambourine, a hippo with a violin, monkeys with bells and hammers, a penguin with a drum, a goat with pipes, and a kangaroo with a horn. The daily feeding of the animals is one of the most popular attractions. You can check the schedule of the zoo to acquire additional information about it. The zoo is also a filming site of popular movies like Madagascar and Mr. Popper’s Penguins.

Me and the family really enjoyed ourselves.

A nice family place

Very nice park , my dog enjoyed the sun and time there.

(Translated by Google) It is a very nice experience lived (Original) Es muy lindo experiencia vividas

I went after 2pm on a Saturday it was not busy. The crowds were dispersed. Zoo attendants were informative and friendly. It's a great family vibe. Would visit again to try kayaking and tree top zip lining. If you want to see the animals at their peak it is reccomend to visit in the morning. Drinks were a bit pricey but I don't mind since it's for the zoo and animals. Didn't have the chance to check out food here. Here's pictures of a few animals.

I’m not a fan of outside life lol but if you haven’t been to Brevard zoo you have to visit. Bring the kids they will love it. From zip lining to exploring. There is lots to do, make it a day of fun for everyone!!!

The best, small, regional zoo I've ever been to! Great selection. Excellent care. Superb layout. Easy to walk and lots of shade. Employees and volunteers are exceptional and friendly and knowledgeable!

This Brevard Zoo has continued to improve the experiences for both animal & visitor. It's been a few years and I was so impressed with the new enclosures and animal exhibits. A great caring staff to answer any questions. A wonderful experience for all ages. Such a treat to feed giraffes and birds.

After working at and visiting many zoos, I must say that I was impressed with this gem! Lots of amazing animals and beautiful grounds. Being a smaller zoo, we had plenty of time to see everything and even go back to visit our favs! Definitely recommend.

Every creature that God created that the Brevard Zoo has in their care is so well taken care of. Their coats and feathers and fur all shine and glisten in the sun. What a joy to watch them and interact with them. Everyone, young and old should visit.

Great fun! A must see in Brevard County. Beautiful, clean, natural setting to see many amazing animals! Many enhancements since we visited 6 years ago. An excellent place to take the family, many special features tailored to kids. Kid height windows and crawl spaces, in addition to easy adult viewing. Very accessible for those with special access needs. We loved the giraffe feeding platform! And the aquarium! It is fun to see them face to face! The Bird House is great, we had enjoyed feeding nectar to the Lorries. There is a splash pad and petting zoo. On sight food and gift shop. We finished off our visit with a ride on the train. Looking forward to visiting again!

Lots of friendly happy animals. Love the large number of animal encounters that are offered throughout the zoo. The zoo feels like a utopia where people and animals co exists

The layout of the zoo is well designed and the roomy walkways were shaded and clean. We arrived around 10:30 a.m. and I was amazed at how active most of the animals were in their habitats! The knowledgeable staff & volunteers even knew the animals by name and helped make our first visit a very special experience!

I'm torn about my experience at this zoo. On one hand, I enjoyed myself, and there are a number of animals here that I have not seen at other zoos. On the other hand, there were a number of drawbacks, including: 1. The price. It's $30 per person to get into the zoo, which is a bit steep, and as expected, everything else is an additional expense. The train is $4, the kayaking is $10, and feeding animals is about $2 per animal. Of course, (human) food at the zoo is pricey. Meals were around $12 or more from what I saw. 2. The food we got wasn't good. We paid $6 for salty cheese fries with barely any cheese on them. The cheese itself wasn't good quality either. It was more like "processed cheese product" than actual cheese. I definitely don't recommend it, and you can see my picture for the amount of food that you actually get. 3. The train ride was a letdown. It took 8 minutes from start to finish, and you only see a handful of animals. I wouldn't do it again, but kids get in for free if they're under 3, so that's a nice bonus if you have kids. 4. Some of the cages were a bit too small, such as the jaguar's cage. Grazing animals like giraffes and zebras have plenty of room, though. The same is true of the monkeys, who have a bunch of connected cages, allowing them to roam around. 5. There were not many educational experiences or shows at the zoo. They only have about two a day. We went to check out the girafee talk, which seemed like a cool experience, and it was nearly impossible to hear the keeper. They didn't use a microphone, and they were shouting up from about 20 feet below the onlookers, so it wasn't a very effective way to communicate the information. Overall, it's worth a visit if you just want to come and see some animals. The zoo is a pretty good size, and there are some interesting animals, even though the range of animals is small (no elephants, tigers, or lions). This zoo is also great for kids. Besides the discount on things like the train, there is a large section of the zoo where kids can play and interact with barn animals. Of course, the treetop trek ziplining is right next door, as well, but expect to pay a pretty penny for this. In general, the extra fees can add up fast at this zoo, so be cognizant of that.

This zoo is just big enough for an adventure! Many different animals to see, and none of them are hiding. A variety of experiences to satisfy all tastes. It is a little pricey at $30 per person to enter.

I have been here twice now and both times I have enjoyed the experience. The animals are very interactive, I was able to feed drafts, walk next to kangaroos and interact with the birds. Thor one of the birds actually said hi and told us his name. I was able to kayak though part of the zoo and see animals close up from the kayaks. The staff is very friendly and are excited to share information on the history of the zoo and animals that reside here.

We enjoyed our recent visit to the Brevard Zoo. The zoo in laid out in a circular design with branches to the various animals. This makes seeing everything very easy. There are many diverse group of animals at the zoo. Some of our favorites were the large rodent Capybara, the giraffes, scarlet ibis, and the monitor lizard. This is a great place for kids and makes a fun outing for a family. They even have free parking. Enjoy!

There are a great variety of animals at the zoo, and there was even a sign for a new exhibit they are building for a lion. Recommend going when they open its a lot less crowded and allows you more time to calmly see the animals in each exhibit without there being a ton of people in the way of your viewing. I arrived at 9:30 on Saturday and there were little to no cars at that time. Left at 1:30 and people were struggling to find parking.

Pretty nice. You can tell that they are trying to improve the zoo. Many exhibits were closed. But all and all they need our support to continue to do the work. Bring bathing suits for kids, there is a small swimming “lagoon”. You could definitely spend 3-5 hours here.

Such an amazing day at this beautiful zoo. The landscaping is beautiful and the staff are so friendly. Got to get to feed a giraffe which was an amazing experience for only 2.00. The staff takes great pride in the appearance of the zoo many people working will stop in their tracks to pick up any trash that may have floated away. I cannot wait to come back and see what more this zoo has!

We had a good time. The zoo layout is great. There's a section for the little ones to have fun, get wet, and learn. They have 2 kayak adventures, they Africa one was not available because the water level was low. We did the other. They have an interesting concept that is better than some of the bigger and more popular zoos, and I would say it is worth donating to them.

Loved seeing the wide array of animals! Add-ons for more personal animal experiences (feeding the birds & giraffes) is cheaper than other zoos I've visited. Exhibits are large & you can tell how much care goes into them. Loved seeing the sections to educate people on conservation.

I loved how different this zoo was compared to all the zoos I've ever been to. The animals were in more natural habitats and many exhibits had multiple different animals in it, like nature, not just one particular species. The volunteer staff through the zoo were knowledgeable and friendly and shared so much information I never knew before and as a 41 year old animal lover that is awesome to learn more!! I got to feed a giraffe...it's tongue grazed my fingers which was a bit startling but fun at the same time...never thought I would experience that!!! I wish I could have done the zipping and the kayak adventures but those features were closed today but if I could give them 10 stars I would!!! My husband and I loved every minute of the 5 hours we spent exploring and learning today!!! If you have a chance to go, GO!!! Also they honored our military service with a nice discount, thank you!!! We used that savings to feed the Giraffes and other critters which was a blast!!!! Seriously, what are you waiting for? GO!!!!!

Lovely day with the family. Plenty of paths to stroll around and see all the animals. Has a nice rest area with decent food and adult drinks even.

This is one of the best zoos I've been to and I love zoos. I've never seen such interesting perspectives on the animals (up close and great angles), except at San Diego. Whoever designed the enclosures with the audience in mind, and the well-being of the animals, did a remarkable job. That's not to mention they have kayaking and tree top trek that goes over some exhibits in the zoo! It's a very cool zoo and probably the best mid-sized zoo I've ever seen.

We have travelled from Canada and visited this zoo three times now! An amazing layout. The animals truly are living their best life. You walk along the boardwalk. We went on a Monday morning. Minimal crowds. The animals were just waking up and having their breakfast which was cool to see. The staff are very friendly. They have volunteers (?) at each major area to explain what the animals are and what is happening. When we went in June 2023, the giraffe and rhino's weren't out because the Lions new home was under construction. Can't wait to go back. We got the chicken tenders and hot dog. The chicken tenders were so good and way better than some restaurants we've been to! We also had their dole whip. Never disappointed. Their water park area is the perfect size for the kids to cool off after walking all morning. Looking forward to our next trip back!

This zoo is amazing, exceeds all expectations. It’s such a great family experience. We have two sarcastic teenage boys, yet somehow we had a magical day laughing at the spider monkeys and being amazed at how many animals you actually see, and how close you can get to them. The interconnected habitats are so well done. Great too that most walkways are in the shade of a canopy of trees, no problem with the heat despite a typical Florida September day in the high eighties. Volunteers are plentiful, helpful, and friendly, telling you neat facts and helping you find where a Leopard may be sleeping. We have been to San Diego Zoo, the National Zoo in DC, and many others: Brevard Zoo is our new favorite. It just feels so much more personal here.
