I was pleasantly surprised by this zoo. Since it looked small on the map, I was afraid there would not be many exhibits. However, the variety of animals was very nice. They had some species that you don't get to see very often (tapir, anteater, etc) and so we were all very happy to see something other than all the... More

We took my 1 year old soon to the zoo back in mid-April. Granted... one year olds don't really get excited about things but he does love animals so we thought this would be fun. Well.. I am not sure yet. We'll have to give it another shot when he is older. It is a small zoo, but perfect for... More

A small zoo with everything to offer including special kids events and seasonal functions. Camping overnight is a highlight. Be sure to attend as many of the live lectures as possible ... you never know what you might learn or what you might see!

I grew up at this zoo and boy has it changed!! It's really expanded and the animal show was fun. It's great to see all the new additions and I think the special events they offer sound great.

The Palm Beach Zoo provides an awful lot in a relatively small space. The animals are well-cared for and exhibited in (presumably) authentic surroundings. The Zoo is well-run, kid-friendly, and truly educational. Our visit included folks ranging from about two years old to someone in their 70s, and each of us found age-appropriate entertainment and information. Definitely worth multiple visits.

The Palm Beach Zoo is a great place to take the grandchildren. It's not free and it's not inexpensive, but it is worth the money. There are lots of animal exhibits. There are lots of things for the kids to do and see. There is a great little fountain at the entrance that the kids love to run around and... More
