8 reviews for Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park
A Most Excellent Zoo!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/20/09
The place was very clean and easy to navigate through. We went after a morning rain and all the animals were active and brisk. There is not a bad exhibit at this zoo. I havn't been at this zoo in twenty years until now, I can hardly recognize it. The zoo could be bigger with more interactive activities or even rides such as a monorail like at Metro Zoo.

I am buying a membership so I can goback anytime!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/08/09
The Palm Beach Zoo has provided a new comfort zone to my life. It is perfect and the people who work there are wonderful and helpful. I find the PB Zoo aplace now where I can just go and wonder endlessly throughout the day, eating munchies and getting some exercise that is bettter than mall walking for sure. The exhibits are well-kept, clean and obviously very thought out. I love the tigers, the monekys and new jaguar and the komodo dragon. Great gifts too! I'm thrilled it has grown so much since I was last there 10 years ago.

A great place to stroll with the kids!
I would recommend this non-profit zoo. It is open all year, has free parking and I got the pretty cheap membership pass that gives additional discount on almost anything inside the zoo. My kids loves the carousel (bring 2 dollar bills/ per kid!) & all of the statue and things they can touch and climb onto, it keeps them interested! They also love to feed the birds (bring quarters)... My favorite part is the outdoor giftshop!

Excellent small Zoo
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/10/06
The Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park is rather close to my residence near the Trump golf course. I have visited zoos all over the world but had never before visited this one, and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the grounds and exhibits. This is especially true where a severe hurricane passed through this area not very long ago. Of special importance is the presence of two young jaguar cubs and their mother. In the afternoon, all three were romping about their naturalistic exhibit with abandon, sometime coming as close as a few feet from the observation areas. Absolutely fantastic! This alone was worth the minimal entrance fee. Moreover, the zoo's staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. All in all, it was an outstanding experience, and one I will be repeating on a regular basis.

A great experience!!
By Peggy, 06/09/05
It was very Florida (palm trees and flowers) and the staff was great with helping us with directions or questions about the animals. The free shows were very informative and delightfully done. The zoo has many displays that are educational and fun for kids. The prices were very good for families and we would definitely go back--a great place to recommend for any one.

What a change
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/19/05
not enough waterfountains, I had a bit of a heat stoke midday. But I like the expansion the fountain was a great idea.
