Brevard Zoo is one of those places that locals love and visitors absolutely fall in love with - and it's less than 30 minutes from Sonrise Palms.
Brevard Zoo in Viera is an internationally accredited facility and genuinely one of the best family experiences on the Space Coast. It's home to giraffes, rhinos, big cats, hundreds of colorful birds, and far more than most zoos of its size. What sets it apart is the way animals are housed. Many species share large, naturalistic enclosures together, so you might see zebras and giraffes together, which is a sight you won't forget.
One of the truly unique experiences at Brevard Zoo is kayaking through the wildlife areas - yes, you can paddle through actual zoo exhibits and get up close to the animals from the water. It's unlike anything else in Florida.
For families traveling the Space Coast this summer, Brevard Zoo is a full day and worth every minute.
