The best zoo in palm beach! Our family always loves to visit here when we're in the area.
So much fun! This was a great event for the adults and children in our party. I think it's the perfect size zoo to explore all the animals and areas without being overwhelmed. I also loved learning that they are a rehab center that releases many animals back into the wild, but keeps those that are injured or too reliant on humans from a young age to survive on their own. The entire zoo seems very clean and not smelly (even though it was 90 degrees the day we went). The splash pad was a big hit with the kids and myself alike... read more
So much fun! My dad is a veteran and goes for free. We also received a generous discount. So many animals! The grounds were beautiful and the decor made me feel like I was on an African Safari. We had a great day!
Very clean, neat and organized zoo. It's much smaller than the Miami Zoo and has less exhibits, but what they do have is well organized. The layout of the zoo is easy to maneuver with or without kids. Parking is easy and there is a place to eat. If you want an easy hour or so event this is the place to go. Quite enjoyable.
After a trip to the Palm Beach Zoo I think it's safe to say that my daughter's new favorite word is 'MINGO, MINGO' (aka, Flamingo). They have a very impressive selection of birds, monkeys and other small animals. The zoo is a really nice size. Enough to see, but not too big that it's tiring and overwhelming. Admission for an adult will run you $25 bucks and our 1.5 year old was free which was a win. I do wish that this zoo had larger animals. No lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, etc. There is one tiger which felt like th... read more
On the small side for a zoo, but I enjoyed my time here. All of the animal enclosures were clean and the staff was friendly. You could spend several hours wandering the different loops in this zoo. Well worth the admission fee.
I don't love zoos to begin with but it was something to do and be outside and enjoy the weather. It's a very small zoo. Most of the animals were hiding or in their back area away from view which was a bummer. We did pay extra for the "otter experience" which was pretty neat. Group of 4 max go behind the scenes and can learn more about the otters and throw them fish for feeding time. They offer some other experiences like flamingo, tiger, tortoise, etc. If you have young kids, there is a big splash pad area for them in t... read more
It's a much smaller zoo. Not as many animals as I was expecting. I'm not going to under rate because It wasn't the best day for weather so a lot of the animals were seeking shelter. Was still a good experience for my toddler who had his first experience at the zoo.
Drether Park Zoo, as I remember its name, is one of the greatest experiences a person of any age can have. I have been a part of visiting this amazing place for well over 50 years. You and and your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will be enchanted, and delighted, as you see animals from every corner of the world represented. The learning experience had here is lifelong. You're missing out significantly if you don't make a visit to Drether Park, the Palm Beach Zoo at Drether Park.
