MELBOURNE, Fla., June 4, 2021 — Readers of USA TODAY 10Best, a travel and lifestyle website, have voted Brevard Zoo one of the top 10 zoos in North America. The Zoo took sixth place overall and is the only Florida facility on the list.
Zoo guests often cite unique animal experiences, such as kayaking next to giraffe and ziplining above monkeys and otters; lush, jungle-like landscaping; and the friendliness of staff and volunteers as the highlights of their visit.
“We’re proud to offer authentic, innovative animal adventures you won’t find anywhere else,” said Keith Winsten, the Zoo’s executive director. “We are grateful to 10Best’s readers for recognizing what makes us so special, and we hope this encourages more people to visit the Zoo and Florida’s Space Coast.”
