This is a very small zoo but it's cute for the little ones. It has a good selection of animals. Obviously, as with anything in Florida, you have to keep the weather in mind. There's something about this zoo that makes it feel even hotter than elsewhere... not sure if it could be because of the vegetation preventing any breeze... more

You can't go to the PB Zoo expecting the San Diego Zoo! I have been to small and large zoos all over the country and this was a fantastic little zoo. The exhibits were small, but well done, the shows were entertaining and they had quite a variety of animals. We took our 1 year old at Christmas and he... more

I was going on business to Palm Beach today (04/26/2009) and wanted to check out the zoo with my wife and 4 year old daughter. I was ready for the worst after seeing some really bad reviews here, but I was very pleasantly surprised! This is a small zoo, but they do a lot with the space they have. The... more

I really enjoyed this park. I went on March 20, 2009. Most of the reviews complain that the park is small and can be seen in a mere 2 hours, but as an adult who likes to read the plaques and truly observe the animals and their behavior, I spent a good 4.5 hrs here. I went back to see... more

I've been unlucky enough to get an insiders view of the Palm Beach Zoo. I did an internship here and got to see how things went behind the scenes. ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS. Disgusting. If people knew what their money was going to, they would never ever agree to pay the admission price. Behind the scenes consists of several trailers, which have... more

This is a great little zoo. I have been going there for five years and now that I have small children, the size of the zoo fits perfectly with their attention span. Do not expect a world-class experience, but if you have two hours and need something to do with the kids this is your place. more

We loved this zoo, we are from RI and have a wonderful zoo here, and I think the WPB Zoo was just as nice. We had to wait a bit for food, as there was a long line for dining, but my children loved this zoo. I think I enjoyed it more than the San Diego Zoo, which we visited... more

Small but cozy zoo. Beautifully landscaped and very cool mayan section. It's shady, you dont have to walk so far in between the animals like Miami Metro Zoo. Yeah so they dont have elephants, but the otter tank was way cooler. We were there when they had the Winter in July festival, one weekend a year they have 40 tons... more

I was able to spend about 3hrs here on a monday morning. What I noticed first was the lush greenery which covered many of the walkways. Many of the anmilas were behind plexi or fences, so clean pics were hard to get. What I assume was the newer section was awsome though. The backdrops looked on par with Disney, as... more

We visited the PB Zoo on 2 occasions, one was years ago & one was 2 days ago! My 2 kids, ages 5 & 2 had a great time seeing the animals. The special effects at the zoo (especially in the tiger's den) were great with fog pouring out from the rocks in the walkway. The kids love the zoo's... more
