After several days of preparation, your Zoo is hunkered down for the arrival of Hurricane Milton. It was an all-hands-on-deck effort and we are grateful for all of your words of encouragement. The Zoo is now in the capable hands of our Ride Out Crew who will continue to care for the animals and facilities. We’ll be providing updates from the crew themselves as the storm progresses. Stay safe everyone!

Zoo Keeper Appreciation Week
Zoo Keeper Appreciation Week

To finish off Zoo Keeper Appreciation Week, we're talking to Sarah from the primate team. Listen as she describes her journey from the ocean to land, and then... back to the ocean? Thanks for taking the time to talk to us, Sarah! Over the last week, you've heard several of our Zoologists talk about their stories, their spark moments, and some of their proudest moments at PBZ. The Zoo's team of Zoologists is filled with folks who have their own unique stories and passions that we didn't get a chance to talk to. We want to thank ALL of the team members for their unwavering efforts to inspire their peers and future generations to save wildlife.

Enjoy shady paths, a colorful carousel, an interactive water play fountain, Nature Play Pavilion, and a full-service restaurant. Book a behind-the-scenes animal experience and get up close and personal with a sloth, koalas, capybaras, Aldabra tortoises or mingle with flamingos.

There’s always something new at Palm Beach Zoo! Enjoy WILD events annually such as Safari Nights, Roar & Pour, Boo at the Zoo, Zoo Lights, and Noon Year’s Eve.
