The zoo is divided into five loops: Expedition Africa, Lands of Change: Australia and Beyond, Wild Florida, Rainforest Revealed, and Paws On.

One of their goals was to build a zoo for Brevard County to "serve as a conversation hub where people could gather to learn about animals and nature.

[4] The exhibit includes Masai giraffes, impalas, Grévy's zebras, white rhinos, scimitar oryxes, dromedary camels, klipspringers, meerkats, an okapi, a common ostrich, crested guineafowl, West African crowned cranes, southern ground hornbills, and marabou storks.

[11] On November 16, 2024, the zoo opened up an additional pathway and a new 15,150 square-feet habitat for their lions, who were previously housed in the Wild Florida loop.

Visitors can find animals such as the red kangaroos, emus, dingos, North Sulawesi babirusas, Visayan warty pigs, wrinkled hornbills and black swans.

[13] Lands of Change: Australia and Beyond also hosts the free-flight aviary where visitors have the option of feeding rainbow lorikeets.

Inside the kangaroo walkabout, there are several solar panel "trees" that were donated to the zoo by Florida Power & Light.

The exhibit includes a shallow swimming area (splash pad); an aquarium mimicking the underwater environment of the nearby Indian River Lagoon with animals such as tarpons, stingrays, and black drums; a viewing tank with horseshoe crabs, hermit crabs, and Florida crown conchs; a pizzeria, and various other attractions aimed towards children of all ages.

Other animals include eastern box turtles and two female bloodhounds named Cindy Pawford and Sarah Jessica Barker.

Opened in November 2013, the “Treasures of the Caribbean” trail is home to animals such as the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana and the Yellow-Naped Amazon.
