The Palm Beach Zoo has a history over 50 years old, evolving from just a handful of barnyard animals into more than 500 animals that currently live at the zoo. The zoo’s mission is to inspire people to take action on behalf of the natural world and wildlife. The zoo focuses on supporting conservation initiatives, education, and endangered species propagation, all while committing to sustainable business practices. During your visit, consider booking an up-close and personal experience. There are also experiences for sloths, Aldabra tortoises, capybaras, giant anteaters, koalas, and flamingos. Go on the Safari Train or Wildlife Carousel.
The zoo also has 11 daily shows and talks, such as Wings Over Water, Wild Things, and Howler Monkey Talks. You can also watch animal feedings and more. Spend some time at the Play Fountain and the Nature Play Pavilion, perfect for hot days when you want to cool off.
