For what it is, this zoo does the job. A local place to see some cool animals. With recent updates in the last few years the Brevard zoo has greatly improved, but it has a long way to go as well. It is hard to compete as a zoo in Orlando when you have Animal Kingdom and Sea World down the road. If you adore zoos you may just like this quaint little place. But if you are from San Francisco or Denver coming to see a great zoo you will be greatly disappointed!

The Omni in Orlando is my family's most favorite hotel. We live in Orlando but occasionally take a mini vacay and the Omni is our main choice! They have a water park, spa, several restaurants, room service and all for a great price! My daughter (3) loves the water play area and the lazy river. Some of our most relaxing and enjoyable times have been laying back on the lazy river and going around and around soaking up the sun till lunch time, or dinner:)! If you are looking for an all in one resort you will not be let down by choosing the Omni!

My family adores Sea World! The entire day can be spent interacting with something or some beautiful animal and not always in a long line. This park is an all in one zoo, rides, and playground place! We always spend the entire day and night there till they close and we have season passes. We live in Orlando, and this is our favorite park!

I went on my first trip with my daughter to Disney last year and it was the worst trip of my life! We only were able to ride 5 rides during the entire day and waited for an average of 1-2 hours per ride. For a few hundred dollars Disney was not all it was cracked up to be. Expensive, long lines, mediocre food, and sales people at every turn trying to entice your child with overpriced Chinese made crap. I recommend Universal Studios or Seaworld. Way more bang for your buck!
