Brevard Zoo focuses on conservation via participation and education. The zoo opened in March 1994 following a great deal of community fundraising by a group of people dedicated to the goal of opening the establishment. If some of the members in your group do not feel up to walking around Brevard Zoo, you can take the train around to see everything. There is also the opportunity to kayak while at the zoo for a unique experience. You can even feed animals, including giraffes and birds in the aviary. Those who want to get up close and personal with animals can also go on a Rhino Encounter or Lemur Rendezvous or a Wild Encounter Tour. Enjoy animals spread throughout Paws on Play, Wild Florida, Caribbean Trail, Expedition Africa, La Selva, and Lands of Change: Australia and Beyond.
There are also more adventurous options like Treetop Trek Aerial Adventures and keeper chats that teach you about various animals.
