Exceptional Nature Space
In April , we unveiled a new kind of natural play area designed to meet the needs of children with varying exceptionalities and their families . Made possible by funds raised during the “ Give From the Heart ” portion of last year ’ s Safari Under the Stars event , the Exceptional Nature Space is a modified wooded habitat that is flexible enough to be “ reset and reprogrammed ” for individuals with different challenges . Within this carefully designed space , children are free to engage in open-ended nature play , experiment , socialize with their peers and learn by doing in an authentic Florida setting . Family programming is currently being developed , visit brevardzoo . org / family-programming for upcoming dates and times . Members are an important part of our program design , please contact special needs coordinator Lindsay Mathisen at Imathisen @ brevardzoo . org to learn more or ask questions .
Zoo Teens

Participants ages 13 – 16 work alongside staff to perform a variety of tasks that provide a positive and memorable experience for Zoo visitors , including animal husbandry , animal handling , face painting and assisting with Zoo camps , special events and public education programs .
