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.

Technically ‘yes’ but the food is pretty bad...... pizza, hot dogs, fries, etc. The ‘restaurant’ is not very nice - in fact a little shabby and dirty. I would bring my own picnic or wait and go to any number of places to eat within a mile or two of the Zoo.
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:
No. It is a great zoo. It's clean and the animals are in great shape.
