Why You Should Plan a Trip to the Central Florida Zoo

When was the last time you visited the zoo? For many, it was something reserved for school field trips or the occasional family outing. Whether you have kids of your own or not, there’s no reason you should be missing out on an amazing experience like seeing exotic animals from all around the world at the Central Florida zoo.

Here are just a few of the benefits of reliving those childhood memories with a trip to the zoo:

1. Relieve Stress – It is well documented that spending time in nature reduces stress, but that is no secret for most. Just stepping outside for a moment during your day to take a deep breath of fresh air makes a noticeable difference – now imagine being able to do that for a few hours or an entire day. Whether you make a point to see everything at the zoo, or just want to wander aimlessly, your body and mind will thank you.
2. Help Make a Difference in the World – Do you want to make a meaningful impact on the earth but you’re not sure how? Zoos of today, including the Central Florida Zoo, are increasingly focused on conservation and green living. Just purchasing admission helps support the cause. As you make your way through the exhibits, you’ll see the animals you’re helping to protect and will feel motivated to take steps towards a greener life.
3. Exercise You Can Enjoy – Many of us struggle to find time for exercise in our busy lives, but walking through our zoo makes the process much more painless. You will be taken in by the sights and sounds, forgetting that you are burning a serious number of calories at the same time.
4. Support a Timeless Orlando Resource – Since its humble beginnings in 1923 when a rhesus monkey was given to the Elks Club in Sanford by a traveling circus, the Central Florida Zoo has been a staple of our local culture. The zoo has been home to a huge number of different animals since its inception, and continues to be a source of education and joy for children and adults alike.
