This is a great zoo. Took the kids to this zoo during our annual trip to Orlando/Cocoa Beach and was very pleased. The giraffe exhibit alone makes this zoo well worth a visit. We were able to interact and feed two of the giraffes. It was amazing and the kids were squealing with delight. The crackers were $1 each to... more

For a small zoo, it really is fantastic! The giraffe exhibit is unbelievable! The giraffe come up to you and you can actually feed them a cracker. It's so awesome!! Our 2 and 3 year old loved all aspects of the zoo. The train ride is not worth $3 though. more

The Brevard Zoo has more the feel of a Nature Preserve, than it has that of a Zoo. Lovingly arranged and very family friendly it is pure fun to walk through. Especially within the aviary, where you can get close to exotic birds. The Zoo is divided in regions - from native Florida Wildlife to South America, Australia and Africa.... more

Our visit, at the end of the summer, was very pleasant because the zoo was empty, and we didn't have hordes of people. I'd hate to see it during the peak period, though, becuase it IS compact. The size is a good thing, though, and it's just the right amount of walking for a morning or afternoon. We were there... more

They have a cute little waterpark inside for the little guys--bring swimwear! The giraffe enclosure is the very best part. The kayak ride is a must!!! more

Paws on Play. This site has doubled the value of this zoo. If you haven't been since it's incorporation, your missing out. The kids can take a time out from looking at the animals and take a dip in the water while the parents sit back and take a break while the kids run off steam. Highly recommend, will be... more

We visited the Brevard Zoo on our recent trip to Orlando and Cocoa Beach, my family enjoys zoos so we thought we would try this one out, upon arriving admission was flawless and we were able to use our membership from our local zoo for free admission, the layout of the zoo was easy to navigate, the animals seemed happy... more

We have a grandparent membership, which allows both of our grandkids and us to go as many times as we like during the year. What a value this is! We go at least 4 times a year, as there are lots of activities during the course of each year. The staff is very friendly and accomodating, and are very willing... more

We visited in October 2008 and were very impressed. I was initially persuaded to visit after learning that you could kayak through the zoo. This was very enjoyable and allowed you to view the animals from a different perspective. But this was just one of the unique experiences here. This park exceeded my expectations... I was surprised by the variety... more

We go a few times a year when the grandkids are in. This year was the first time we got all the way around, you know how little ones are. I do want to take the kayak tours they have but we will have to wait till they get a little older. I do enjoy the food and a cold... more
