We had a great time, even with the impacted operations. Going in the morning, social distancing was no problem at all and we often found ourselves alone with many animals.

It's definitely not a huge zoo, especially compared to Tampa, Brevard, or Miami, but given the convenience, it has enough to see for the cost. Giraffes, cheetahs, a black bear, a Indian Rhino, on top of many smaller animals. It could use more, but with support, more could happen.

It is in a great location, just off of I-4, and has beautiful trees and gardens throughout. Shade is not a problem and a very solid splash pad is available for kids.

If you go, don't miss the small insect zoo just before the zoo entrance. They had a good amount of bugs, frogs, and other reptiles inside and it's air conditioned. During our time, we had no issues going inside any buildings and were at points the only group inside.

The zoo is beautiful, well kept, and promising. A couple hours is enough to see it all with time to spare.

Overall, as long as you don't set too high of expectations, you'll have a great time!
