About this adventure
Because animals are grouped by geographic territories (Florida: Mission Everglades, Asia, Africa, Amazon and Beyond, and Australia) and live in cageless, open-air habitats separated by moats, South Florida's pleasant 75°F winter weather makes exploring the zoo's four miles of shaded walkways delightful for families. Kids love the giraffe feeding platform at Samburu Station, where they can hand-feed lettuce to towering giraffes eye-to-eye, as well as the Rhino Encounter, camel rides, and wildlife carousel. Families can rent shaded 2-to-6-person safari cycle carriages, hop on the air-conditioned monorail or narrated open-air safari tram, and rent single/double strollers at the front entrance plaza. Multiple water splash play areas and shaded pavilions ensure an engaging day out.
