We took the entire elementary school for a day at the zoo. It’s a cute zoo and they are always adding and improving. Usually the animals are active and you can see them. Workers seem to really take care of the animals. I would always get an annual pass when my children were small because it is an excellent zoo and I’m not much of a zoo person. It reminds me a little of Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle but it’s much smaller.

I've been wanting to do an escape room for my birthday. A year, and 6 months later, I got my wish! Definitely a great time with friends and significant others. It helps you bond and appreciate those you're with. It's a great time especially if it's raining, it would add to the experience! We did the Egypt: Ammons Passage room. It was definitely a challenge. For our first time, we did pretty good. We didn't escape, but we were SO close! After getting out, we all wanted to bring the rest of the family next time!

This is a nice place to go for a walk. The trails are in great shape. There are a few that are still being worked but most are open. Plenty of vegetation to look at but we were there in early afternoon and only saw one small bird. We thought that was kind of weird. So it wasn’t great for bird watching but it is a nice place to walk.

This pet friendly park has paved walkways and nicely placed gazebos. Our latest adventure involves the white duck that has taken a dislike to you dog. Follows us halfway around the lake. Not scary at all, just funny. Also dont forget to walk around behind the rec center and pool area. Great place to see the tortoises.

We go here about once a week. The early crowd, like us, come for karaoke, food specials, or just to people watch. Karaoke on Friday is well attended and fun. Everyone from retirees to motorcyclists come to Lou's. I have heard the late crowd is different, but we are usually gone by then. We enjoy the food, wings, burgers, salad, seafood, sometimes specials like snow crab and babybacks. All very reasonable. The staff is friendly and accomodating. The outside porch, and windows inside, overlook the ocean, one of the few places you can see the ocean while enjoying your evening. Fun place to go.

It was $8 to enter the park. The beach, for the most part, was clean (I did carry out some bottle caps I found) & the sand was nice & soft. The water was cold & rough, so we didn't swim, but were told there's a bit of a drop off. There is a protected tide pool area off the inlet that might be a better choice for kids when it's too choppy. We noticed tons of fishermen, mainly on the jetty, but on the beach as well. Also, it seems popular with surfers. There are plenty of spaces to BBQ/picnic, and there's also a concession area, which even serves veggie burgers. We're likely to return.

They have a pier currently partly closed and being repaired due to Hurricane Matthew. The park has bench seating near the river's edge in several places which are great for watching the sunsets. The park has a couple of hundred feet of river frontage. There is a new basketball court, There is a tennis court. There is a large gazebo popular for weddings and there is a large playground for the kids and a bocci ball court. The business area with restaurants, library, and a grocery store are a couple of blocks east. Nice little community with friendly folks.

Loved this and we were super happy with our informative, helpful and fun guides. It is in the same parking lot as the Brevard Zoo so make a day for this. Wear sneakers - rubber soled to avoid slippage. Drink enough water to stay hydrated. Wear a zippered shirt or shorts to store phone camera because you will want pictures of this. They have different levels for different expertise levels. Feels like you are in a real jungle.
