For a limited time, the Central Florida Zoo is extending weekend hours for more wild fun.
The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is extending its weekend hours through May, opening from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays. The expanded schedule also includes Memorial Day, giving guests even more time to enjoy a full day of animal encounters and outdoor adventure.
As Seminole County’s largest attractions, the Zoo is a popular destination for both locals and tourists looking for a great value outing. With warmer weather and longer days, the extended hours make it easier for guests to plan a staycation, enjoy an afternoon away or spend more time discovering all the zoo has to offer.
Guests can also take advantage of an all-new experience at the Central Florida Zoo. Zoo Insider Tours offer guided, small-group walks led by knowledgeable Zoo staff and volunteers to learn more about the animals and the people who care for them. Plus, be sure to stop by and feed our giraffe for an incredible interactive experience.
Whether you arrive early or later in the afternoon, the extended hours mean more time to explore, learn and make memories this spring.
The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is home to more than 350 animals in Sanford.
