Brevard Zoo
Kids
This delightful small-town zoo houses more than 500 ani-
mals, including white rhinos, red kangaroos, wallabies, crocodiles, howler monkeys, bald
eagles, red wolves, and river otters. Enjoy a 10-minute train tour of the grounds ($2), a
free-flight aviary, a cute and cuddly petting zoo, and alligator feedings usually 3 days a
week. Check out the 10-acre Expedition Africa exhibit, where impala, gazelles, and
scimitar-horned oryx chill out over the savanna. Don't miss the opportunity to kayak
through the wetlands—this is the only zoo in the country that offers kayaking, and it's a
bargain, at only $5 per person. For an up-close and personal view of the animals, take the
behind-the-scenes tour with a zookeeper on Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. The zoo also
offers ecotours on the Indian River Lagoon (www.lagoonadventures.org). For $45 you get
kayak rental, kayak instruction, snacks and drinks, a trained environmental educator guide,
lunch on an island, and close viewing of manatees, dolphins, and wading birds.
