Mitchell Park

A garden-style small zoo in Morningside, with tortoises, birds and small mammals. A good place for a stroll with kids.

Mitchell Park was built in 1910 and is known for its rose garden and small zoo, where Aldabra giant tortoises have lived for decades. Admission is low, and the park café, Blue Zoo, is popular with locals. The park is just steps from Florida Road, so you can shop and eat on the way.
