MELBOURNE — Have you been searching for an exciting yet budget-friendly way to enjoy time with your family this spring? Look no further! The Brevard Zoo is rolling out the red carpet for local families with a fantastic offer—free admission for kids aged 3 to 18! Kids can jump into the wild action on May 22, 26, and 27, but there’s a catch: an accompanying adult must be a paying Florida resident.
Imagine the smiles on your children’s faces as they explore the wonders of wildlife right here in our own backyard. With one adult ticket, you can bring along up to three kids at no extra cost, making this a perfect opportunity for a family outing. Just remember, only Florida residents can take advantage of this special deal, so make sure to bring along your state-issued photo ID or a utility bill with your name and address.
Zoo officials have noted that this offer doesn’t mix with other discounts, so make sure to plan ahead! It’s a beautiful chance for families in Brevard County to enjoy the great outdoors together as school winds down and Memorial Day weekend approaches. Let’s be honest—who doesn’t appreciate a free day of fun and learning with their loved ones?
The Brevard Zoo, spanning a lush 75 acres in Melbourne, is home to over 800 animals from more than 170 different species. There’s so much to do—whether it’s feeding the animals, embarking on kayak tours, or enjoying the thrilling Treetop Trek attraction. After a day at the zoo, your kids will come home not only entertained but enriched with knowledge about wildlife and conservation.
So, as the days grow warmer and you look for fun ways to spend time together, consider taking advantage of this incredible opportunity. Remember to bring proof of residency to the gate so you don’t miss out. It’s a local treasure just waiting to be discovered!
