Things to do when Visiting Brevard County
Take advantage of your discount coupon and visit Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

Just 35 miles east of Orlando, extend your stay and check out Disney World, Universal Studios and many more of Orlando’s attractions. Take in a day at the beach as you’ll find 72 miles of picturesque Atlantic beaches known as Florida’s Space Coast.
Never before has a Wild Florida Adventure been so accessible. Only at Brevard Zoo can you kayak through Africa or zip line at Treetop Trek Aerial Adventures through South America seeing the animal residents up-close and personal. Let a giraffe eat right from your palm, stroke a rhino, touch a baby gator or have colorful lories land on your arms. Find out more by visiting BrevardZoo.org.
