If you are traveling to the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area with the family, you can take advantage of free admission to the Brevard Zoo on Saturdays through August 28.

From the Brevard Zoo:

Come beat the summertime heat during our annual Summer Saturday Nights, which starts July 3 and runs every Saturday night through August 28. We extend our hours of operation to 9 p.m. all nine Saturdays in July and August. Thanks to local businesses who sponsor the nights, admission is free to everyone starting at 5 p.m. Last admission is 8 p.m.

As part of Summer Saturday Nights, most of the Zoo animals are out on exhibit until dusk. However, some animals will be off exhibit. The free flight aviary and the butterfly exhibit will be closed as well as Paws On play area. Each night the Zoo provides musical entertainment from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Other available activities for patrons include a chance to go kayaking, ride the train, feed giraffe, and enjoy a special animal encounter at 7 p.m. Patrons will not be able to bring food and drink into the Zoo starting at 5 p.m. Visit the Brevard Zoo for more information.

Never give up. Always keep kicking until the dreams to which you aspire come true.

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
