This zoo is wonderful! My family and I have been going for years and never leave disappointed. Fun for friends, families, dates, and photographers alike. There is so much to do depending on the season. Honestly, I feel like it's too much to even know where to begin writing about . Best advice, go with the upgraded ticket if you have kids. Unlimited train rides, carousel rides, access to sting ray bay, the 4d theater and probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
Make a plan beforehand about what you want to visit and experience so you can try to get as much as you can & plan to bring some extra dollars in cash along with you. There are several exhibits where you can feed the animals for only a dollar and they are fun to do! We always feed the lorikeets, stingrays & giraffes if they're around and eating. I try to do these things first thing in the morning because otherwise the animals may get full & not always interested later on.
I had my wedding reception at the Giraffe Loop and the Range of the Jaguar and it was an amazing experience. My reception was the weekend after hurricane Irma hit Florida, so needless to say we were a little worried about how this venue was going to look post-hurricane. They had the zoo cleaned up and perfect for us! It was amazing what they were able to do in such a short amount of time. Christine took care of all of my needs and made the experience an easy one. It was flawless, and I know she worked really hard to make it that way and to make sure I did not stress about anything. I would definitely recommend the zoo for an interesting, fun wedding reception experience! And the food is awesome too :)
There are lots of educational opportunities and all their staff members are top notch.
Fun place to go. Love the whole zoo. They are constantly making upgrades. The new manatee pools are nice. I'm a long time member. Membership is much cheaper than paying every time you go.
We're members and absolutely love this zoo. They go all out for holidays, and the staff is crazy good. Food and stuff is high, but they're cool about bringing in your own, so it's not a thing. Also, for a theme park/zoo/attraction, the prices are really good
Well worth the time & money! You could spend several hours here & still not get everything in.
This is not a very big zoo but is good enough for everyone who loves to see some animals. It was well maintained and I never found it too crowded. They also have train rides, just in case you are interested. The general ticket for adults is around $18, not sure about kids though. Overall this place is good for decent weekend visit.
