Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society

About

Zoo camps and guided chats with animals like capybaras, tigers, and otters make this more than just a walk-through experience. Palm Beach Zoo focuses on conservation and creates immersive exhibits that feel like natural habitats rather than traditional enclosures. Great for toddlers through teens, with animal chats happening throughout the day and summer zoo camps for deeper exploration. The 23-acre layout includes an interactive fountain where kids can splash, plus plenty of shaded spots and an air-conditioned café. Early morning visits mean easier parking and smaller crowds.

The Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society is a non-profit zoological organization located at Dreher Park in West Palm Beach
