The offer is valid for children aged 11 and under.
To receive free admission, the child must be accompanied by a paying adult who is a Florida resident. Up to three children may accompany one paying adult.
Adults must present a government-issued photo ID or utility bill with address and matching photo ID.
The offer cannot be combined with other discounts or memberships.

The offer starts on September 1st and runs until September 30th.
What does the Brevard Zoo have to offer?
For the past five years, the Brevard Zoo has been ranked among the top 10 zoos in the country by USA Today 10Best.
Guests can feed giraffes, walk among kangaroos, take a train ride through exhibits and other experiences. In addition to daily admission, the zoo also offers summer camps, home and preschool education and family experiences.
The Brevard Zoo, located near Viera just east of Interstate 95, is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Planned events include festivities on April 30.th each month until the opening of a permanent lion enclosure at Expedition Africa later this year. The area offers guests a glimpse of the zoo’s three lions in an enriching habitat.
Also in the planning stages is the new Port Canaveral Aquarium. The facility will include a manatee rehabilitation center to treat sick and ailing manatees, and the Dr. Duane De Freese Coastal Conservation Hub, a three-story building with laboratories where university researchers and students will study the Indian River Lagoon.
