Do the Zoo! The Palm Beach Zoo

Do the Zoo

The Palm Beach Zoo

If you are lucky enough to find yourself in South Florida (Palm Beach County) make sure you leave yourself time for the Palm Beach Zoo.  Sure Miami has Metro Zoo, (over an hour drive South) but Palm Beach County has its own Zoo right here in the heart of West Palm Beach. 

I believe this Zoo is one of the Jewels of the Palm Beaches.  It is smaller than the big ones but still has plenty to see and do without all the crowds. Plenty of shows for the little ones...ok big ones as well.

The Zoo is open 363 days a year from 9Am to 5pm daily.  The show has shows running throughout the day. Recently, the Zoo has had some changes done so if you have not been their in awhile I recommend it is time for trip back.  Palm Beach Zoo even has a Carousel ride.

If you visit in the summer I recommend you bring a swimsuit as the Zoo has great fountains to cool you off on those hot summer days. If you forget your lotion don't worry they have a gift shop where you can purchase some. 

Palm Beach Zoo has just added a new Reptile House. 

The Zoo is located at 1301 Summit Blvd in West Palm Beach. For directions call (561)547-WILD. For more information you can go directly to the Zoo's web site: Palm Beach Zoo
