Keep the adventure going even longer at the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens, thanks to extended weekend hours this spring!
The Zoo is extending its weekend hours starting April 4 through May, opening from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The expanded schedule also includes Memorial Day, giving guests even more time to enjoy a full day of animal encounters, outdoor adventure and wild fun.
Guests can also take advantage of an all-new experience at the Zoo. Zoo Insider Tours offer guided, small-group walks led by knowledgeable Zoo staff and volunteers to learn more about the animals and the people who care for them. Plus, be sure to stop by and feed our giraffe for an incredible interactive experience.
As Seminole County’s largest attractions, the Zoo is a favorite destination for both locals and tourists looking for a great value outing. With warmer weather and longer days, the extended hours make it easier for guests to plan a staycation, enjoy an afternoon away or spend more time discovering all the Zoo has to offer.
Whether you arrive early or later in the afternoon, the extended hours mean more time to explore, learn and make memories this spring.
