BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – U.S. News & World Report has released its list of the country’s 30 best zoos and Brevard Zoo is one of them.
Author Kyle McCarthy praised the Zoo’s one-of-a-kind adventures, such as kayak tours and zip lining; educational offerings and easy-to-navigate layout.
“Central Floridians know Brevard Zoo is the go-to place for family fun and learning,” said Keith Winsten, the Zoo’s executive director.
“We welcome this honor and hope it inspires readers to come see our Zoo for themselves.”
According to U.S. News & World Report, “The Brevard Zoo, which sits roughly 60 miles southeast of Orlando’s theme parks and about 35 miles southwest of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, offers fun and delightfully educational activities in a manageable setting.”
“Families can take advantage of free facilities like a lagoon and an aquarium or pay for special experiences like train rides, zip lining and giraffe feedings. For a unique zoo adventure, join a guided kayak tour to see Expedition Africa’s rhinos and lemurs from the water. Keep in mind, children must be at least 5 years old to participate in this outing, which costs $9.95 per person.”
