The Palm Beach Zoo is small, but keeps more than 100 species on display. The giant Aldabra tortoise and Florida panther draw the biggest crowds; other residents include kangaroos, a jaguar, river otters, lemurs, anteaters, and a white alligator. Visitors definitely shouldn't miss the new Tropics of the Americas section, and children will have a great time frolicking in the interactive fountain. This is a great day out for travelers of any age.

Enjoy West Palm Beach like A Local
