About Brevard Zoo
Brevard Zoo is a small zoo but it's a zoo that does big, wonderful things! Nestled in Melbourne, Florida, this zoo is more than just a place to see animals—it’s a hub of wildlife conservation and education.
Their mission is "Wildlife Conservation through Education and Participation." As you wander through the lush, naturalistic exhibits, you'll find yourself on a global adventure without leaving Florida. Imagine trekking through the plains of Africa, where zebras, camels, and rhinos roam. Kids will love the chance to see lemurs leaping from tree to tree or get up close with the curious camels.
Head Down Under with the Lands of Australia exhibit, where dingos, emus, kookaburras, and kangaroos bring the outback to life. It's a chance for children to learn about these unique creatures in an environment that mirrors their natural habitats.
South America beckons with its vibrant display of mammals and birds. Meet the playful tamarin, marvel at the colorful macaws, or watch the graceful movements of flamingos. Don't forget to visit the sloths, who are always a hit with their slow, deliberate movements.
The Florida exhibit showcases local species, such as snapping turtles, river otters, bobcats, and the iconic alligators. It’s a great opportunity for families to learn about the wildlife that’s right in their backyard.
Brevard Zoo offers more than just animal viewing. For a small additional cost, families can engage in thrilling experiences. The Treetop Trek Aerial Adventure gives kids a bird’s eye view of the zoo, while train rides offer a more relaxed way to see the sights. For water lovers, kayaking adventures are available for those over 5 years old. And don't miss the chance to feed a giraffe by hand—a memory that will last a lifetime!
So come on, families, let’s get wild at Brevard Zoo! The animals are waiting to greet you, and with so much to see and do, your visit will be an exciting adventure for everyone.
