Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society
A medium-sized zoo in a tropical rainforest setting, known for jaguars, Malayan tigers, and Florida native animals.
The Palm Beach Zoo is located in Dreher Park in West Palm Beach. It covers about 23 acres and houses more than 500 animals. Tropical vegetation provides shade throughout the grounds, which are divided into zones such as Florida, the Central American rainforest, Asia, and Australia. Visitors can get close to jaguars, Malayan tigers, giant anteaters, and Florida panthers. Feeding talks are held daily, making it a good half-day outing for families. It is open from 9:00 to 17:00, and adult admission is about $30 (buying tickets online is cheaper). Summers are hot and humid, so it's best to visit in the morning.
