Jaguars, & Tigers, & Bears! Oh, my!

The Palm Beach Zoo is an awesome zoo for its size. And, if you purchase a membership pass, makes for unlimited affordable excursions for the entire year. If you plan to visit the zoo more than a few times, the pass pays for itself. Plus, you will receive a 10% discount on any purchases made at the gift shop, concession stand and restaurant.

Palm Beach Zoo Attractions

My kids love riding the carousel (few $ per ride fee), feeding the birds (bring quarters) and walking around the South American Rain Forest complete with Mayan Pyramid and sculptures. With almost 2,000 exotic and endangered animals from around the world, every visit will be enjoyable and unique. Don’t be surprised if a free-roaming iguana or peacock crosses your path. Make sure to check out the various animal shows and say hello to Mardi, the white alligator, one of ten white alligators known to exist. The capybaras, tamarins, marmosets and playful river otters are a constant hit with our family. And, if you go on a cooler day or a day when it’s raining, the other zoo animals get really frisky.

Don’t Forget Your Bathing Suit and Sunscreen

So, pack your bag and cooler (hats, sunscreen, bathing suits & towel) and head to the Palm Beach Zoo.  Both changing tents and restrooms are located next the Interactive Fountain. (We find it easier to wear our suits there and change into dry clothes before we leave.) There are also plenty of picnic tables in shaded areas throughout the zoo. Spend a few hours or the entire day. With an annual pass and free parking, there’s no reason not to return.

Be sure to check the zoo’s website for current schedules and prices.
