About Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens

Enter the lush tropical world of the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens. A relaxing, entertaining and educational experience for the entire family. We've been at our present location since July 4, 1975. Each year we engage and educate more than 300,000 visitors, at the Zoo and in the community. The Zoo cares for over 400 animals, representing over 150 species, many of which you can see during your visit to the Zoo. You can take to the sky and enjoy an aerial adventure course, ZOOm Air Adventure Park or bring your flip-flops and swimsuit to cool-off in the Wharton-Smith Tropical Splash Ground.
