We just moved to the Treasure Coast area a few months ago and when we found out there was a zoo located in West Palm Beach we thought it'd be huge, it turned out not to be what we were expecting. There isn't the typical "big main gate" that you'd think would be here, in fact you'll have to maneuver... More

I'm a big zoo guy, and have been to many zoo's across this country large and small. I wasn't expecting much from this zoo, but found it to be a fantastic time! Being my first visit to FL, I just LOVED the trees and plants in this zoo, they were so lush, and really helped keep the different parts of... More

Palm Beach Zoo does a great job. Bring bathing suits for the little ones as there is a water play area in the front, and the kids just love it. Very enjoyable weekend outing, we like it so much, we have a season pass. During the summer they start night hours where they bring some animals out and you get... More

As a member for years, I come here maybe once a month. Always something new - baby tigers, baby jaguars, baby tamarinds, baby fennec foxes - all in the last few years. Unfortunately the panther died recently. It is a great escape to relax and enjoy the animals. Also the burger in the cafeteria is very good.
