A day at Brevard Zoo: Fun for all

in #blog5 years ago

If you're looking for a fun day out with friends or family, head over to the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne. The tranquil tropical setting is perfect for strolling between animal exhibits and a relaxing, fun day.

The Brevard Zoo is divided into six animal areas: Paws on Play, Wild Florida, Caribbean Trail, Exhibition Africa, La Selva, and Australiasia. Along with marveling at all the amazing animals, take time to enjoy some of the extras, too. How many times have you ever fed a giraffe. At Brevard Zoo you can buy food for $2 and hand feed a giraffe. Or in the aviary, buy food for the Lorikeets and Cockatiels for only $1 and the birds will land on your wrist and eat out of the container in your hand. The Rhino Encounter allows guest to get up close with the massive rhinos. Tours are daily between 12 noon and 1:00 p.m. and last about 20 minutes for a fee of $15 if you're not a zoo member, and $10 if you are a zoo member. And don't miss riding the train for just $3.

If you love adventure, there is plenty for you, too. You can kayak on the river for $8 or rent paddle boats for $15. There's even a Wild Encounters Tour that takes you off the boardwalk and let's you get close to some of the animals. Reservations are required in advance for this tour and costs are $65 (ages 2 and under free).

And then there's the ultimate adventure – Treetop Trek. Experience the zoo from high up in the trees by using tightropes, crab walks, bridges and nets, and, wait for it, zip lines. This experience is separate from zoo admission. What a fun way to see the Brevard Zoo.

If you have young ones with you, then Paws on Play, free with admission, is the perfect end to a day at the zoo. There is a petting zoo (closes at 4:00 p.m.), an aquarium, and be sure to bring a swimsuit for the little ones to play in the large water play area while you relax and watch from the patio.

There is something fun for everyone at the Brevard Zoo. See for yourself.
