Nice alternative to the bigger parks. We returned from a 5 day Disney Dream cruise (awesome, btw) and had an extra day to kill in Florida. Originally we were going to go to MK but since the 5 and 3 year olds were pretty much spent, we looked for a place away from big crowds. We were pleasantly surprised at... More

We had no trouble finding this zoo; easy-to-follow signs if you don't use an i-phone. Cute carousel at the entrance which the toddler loved! Adults appreciated the hands-on areas throughout the zoo; a staff member sat with an animal and answered questions or posed for pictures. Lots of shaded walkways made the day quite comfortable.

Overall we enjoyed our visit to the Central Florida Zoo in Sanford. The adult admission price is $15. I don't recall the kids' price. There are tons of kiddie activities, especially for little ones. There's a merry-go-round, a kiddie train and a splash park. The bird collection features bald eagles and owls, as well as some exotic species such as... More

We have been to MANY zoos so I may have been expecting too much of this small zoo. The employees were very nice and it was relatively clean, however we were done in a little over an hour. For the price of $15 each I guess we were thinking there would be a little more to see. There were a... More

We took out 4 year old grandson to the zoo. There weren't too many animals, but lots of birds in cages. Our grandson loved the playground and the splash park.

A lovely family day out, we wanted something quieter than the normal parks and what we had was a great day, my daughter who is 2years 10months was able to walk around freely and see the animals. She took the opportunity to touch a snake and pigmy hedgehog and the young staff who were handling the animals were very patient... More
