Brevard County Zoo - A Real Treasure

Near Canaveral, about an hour from Orlando, is this great community zoo. Only 14 years old, it is a world class zoo on a small scale. Our grandson Jack loved it. They have this great display with otters where they can be seen under the water as well as on land. They were very active and everyone enjoyed their antics, especially Jack.
They have a small train that goes around part of the zoo, (you can also take a kayak tour), where you see quite a few animals like the white hippo, giraffes and other African critters. They have this great Avaiary where you can go in with many of the birds and feed some of them.


There are many alligators that you can get very close to as well as turtles and fish. They have this great family of giraffes that can see in the video below. But the best part of this zoo is the attitude. Everyone is very friendly and most are volunteers. The price is very low, about $14 for an adult adventure package. This is a place worth finding if you are in Florida.
