Enter the enchanted, tropical world of the Central Florida Zoo, a relaxing, entertaining and educational experience for the entire family. Discover a world of animals from around the world within this intimate park nestled in the heart of Florida. Stroll along shaded, winding boardwalks and paths as you see towering elephants, search for elusive cheetahs, appreciate the beauty of the hyacinth macaw and listen to the song of the kookaburra. Or dare to meet some of the world's most venomous reptiles and non-venomous snakes, lizards and frogs in the Herpetarium.
See animals like the Puerto Rican Coqui, endangered Amur leopards, venomous king cobra and playful spider monkeys. The recently transformed Butterfly Sensory Garden incorporates touch, look, listen and smell stations, contrasting human and insect senses.
Boardwalks and paths meander throughout the zoo, so it's best to pick up a map to make sure you don't miss anything set back in the trees. Popular exhibits include the elephants, cheetahs, and the spider and howler monkeys. There's even a special behind the scenes elephant encounter on both Saturday and Sunday at 2:15pm where guests can meet the animal keepers and witness feedings. Space is limited; inquire at the Information Kiosk when you arrive. |
