    Best zoo in Florida

    By far the best zoo experience I've ever had is feeding the giraffes. The docents are very knowledgeable and engaging. Don't miss feeding the birds nectar and a birdseed lollipop. They land on you for an up close and personal experience. The baby kangaroos were...More

    Great Local Zoo

    This zoo has a lot of animals for a small zoo. You can feed giraffes. They also have a meerkat colony. Train Ride is small, but kids will love it.

    Like your animals at home who are active when they wake up in the morning and usually settle down for a nap mid-afternoon, so too do our animals. We recommend visiting anytime between when we open (9:30 a.m.) until 2 p.m.
