The Brevard Zoo is divided into different lands. In Expedition Africa you'll see rhinos, gazelles, birds, and more. Bring dollar bills to purchase special food to hand-feed a giraffe. The animals put their heads right over the railing to get the crackers with their long tongues, so pay attention if you have one in your hand. You can also kayak through the river in this area for an additional cost. Wild Florida brings you up close to several 250-pound crocodiles and alligators, otters, bobcats, and more. Alligator and Crocodile feedings are at 3:30pm every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, and can be seen from the bridge to Wild Florida. Beautiful cockatoos, parrots, and other birds abound in the free-flight aviary at Austral-Asia. You can feed the rainbow lorikeets fruity nectar for $1. When the zoo isn't busy, these cute but pushy birds can be quite insistantly up-close and personal - literally on your shoulder and head - to get some of the food. Wallabies, kangaroos, and emus also live in this area. Kids who love monkeys can spend plenty of time in La Selva. Watch the jaguar pace back and forth before moving on to see the hijinxs of the troop of spider monkeys and fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand squirrel monkeys.
The zoo just completed a brand new snack bar area offering an extensive menu located in the back of the zoo and near the active flamingo area. The snack bar also offers expanded restrooms. This is also where you can catch a train ride past the Australian aviary and the backside of Africa including Lemur Island. The train costs $3 for everyone ages two and up. |
