We wanted to take our daughter to a zoo for her 5th birthday and someone suggested we try the Brevard Zoo. We were disappointed that we did. It looks like it could be a nice zoo, but it was severely lacking in zoo animals. I'm told that they have giraffes that you can feed from the tall walkway, but it was overcast the day we went and they were nowhere to be found. A passerby said the giraffes go into a building when lightning is a threat, which is understandable. But since FL is called the lightning capital of the world, I believe there should be a viewing area where visitors can still see them inside the building. The only large animals we got to see were 2 rhinos and some kangaroos. No lions, tigers, bears, elephants or even zebra here. Oh and the $3.00 train ride that goes around the bend and returns was not worth it, but we did see 3 bunny rabbits.
