We don't expect this zoo to be of the same quality as the San Diego or Columbus Zoo. We don't go in the middle of the summer heat (and don't recommend that you do if you want to see animals who aren't hovering in the shade). With that said, my husband takes my twins 2-3 times per week. We bought... More

If the prices went down my review would go up. I also know I would go there more than once a year if the prices were lower . More

Pricey for a below average zoo that has very few exotic animals... Its only 30-50 acres ...the train ride was fun for my son, but was really nothing spectacular. I really think 14 bucks per adult is waaaay over priced IMO. You can feed lots of hooves animals, which is the most interesting part I guess. Wouldn't go back. More

The zoo was overpriced, and the animals in cramped cages. I have been to several zoos both large and small and this was the worst. The animals are in tiny cages that do not resemble anything like their natural habitats. We bought food cups to feed them and most of the animals would not even get up to come and... More

This is by no means a large Zoo. It is more like a upscale petting zoo. However if you like to feed animals, this is a great place to spend a few hours. We enjjoyed the giraffe, goats, deer, and guinea pigs (yes guinea pigs are at this zoo too). The best part of this zoo was the staff running... More

The zoo was a little small but packed with lots of animals. We loved all the monkeys and the tigers. The train was pretty lame though. More

This is a small zoo and fine for families with young children. It has some good attractions but overall is lackluster and not worth the price of admission More

We really enjoyed the zoo. Lots of animals to see. We really enjoyed seeing the baby gorilla. The cost was a bit high for the size of the zoo. More

We spent the day at the zoo yesterday with our grandson. We go at least twice a year and the zoo keeps getting better and better! We were so happy to see how many visitors we had yesterday. The weather was glorious, the personnel were so friendly and available to answer any questions and the animals are very well kept... More

We love visiting the zoo in Gulf Breeze. It is small but there is so much to see, we really like taking the little train ride through the zoo. There is also a playground located in the center of the zoo. More
