Open daily 9a to 5p; Last entry 4p. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The 50-acre Gulf Breeze Zoo features more than 1,000 animals from around the world. Get up close to the Zoo’s tallest giraffe residents – and even feel their tongues - as they take romaine leaves from your palm while feeding them. Go behind-the-scenes on exciting animal encounters where you can offer a tasty treat to an Indian Rhino, meet a pair of Nile hippos, feed sloths while learning about these gentle creatures, and more. Take a nostalgic 15-minute narrated train ride through the 30-acre preserve and see rhinos, deer, antelope and emus roam free and enjoy close-up views of our gorilla and orangutan families. Trains run hourly throughout the day.

Is there food in the zoo snack bars for human beings
A:
Yes they sell food but it’s a very limited selection. I had a hot dog with fries while my wife had chicken tenders with fries. It was fit for human consumption.
Is this place still owners/operates by the people that were charged with animal cruelty? Are the animals healthy and living in humane conditions? Was interested in visiting until I found out about animal cruelty, abuse and neglect
A:
I haven't heard of any abuse. I think the animals are well cared for. Anytime an animal has to be in a cage or small encounter it's sad, but I didn't ever see anything that made me cry or …
I haven't heard of any abuse. I think the animals are well cared for. Anytime an animal has to be in a cage or small encounter it's sad, but I didn't ever see anything that made me cry or feel like I needed to do something. Hope that helps
