AQUARIUM

INDIAN RIVER PLAY LAGOON

Don’t forget your bathing suit! Children of all ages are invited to cool off in up to 18 inches of water in the Indian River Play Lagoon. This play space includes a “dump tank” and mangrove forest. There is also a water area created especially for younger guests, which features shallower water and a bubbling manatee sculpture. Guests will be asked to leave the water starting at 4:45 p.m. since the Zoo closes at 5 p.m.

THE BARNYARD

Get up close and personal with goats, alpacas, chickens and a giant tortoise.

UPLAND ACRES

Make yourself at home in our larger-than-life playground! Navigate an underground burrow, enjoy a bird’s eye view of the Zoo from above and use your imagination to build and create with palmetto fronds, bamboo stalks, ropes and a tarp.
