Then, in September, children 11 years of age and younger will receive free admission to the Zoo when they’re accompanied by a paying adult who is a Florida resident. Zoo officials said no more than three children can get in for free per paying adult.

Zoo officials said you can’t combine the promotion with any other offers or discounts. All adults must again present a state-issued photo ID or utility bill with a Florida address and matching photo ID.

Officials said visitors taking advantage of the promotions can expect the Expedition Africa section of Brevard Zoo will be closed during their visits. The section is closed through Sept. 25 as part of a massive renovation taking place, which includes the building of a permanent lion habitat.

The lion habitat is set to open in the middle of 2024.
