Emerald Coast Zoo

About

At Emerald Coast Zoo, you can get up close and personal with some of your favorite members of the animal kingdom; sloths, kangaroos, giant tortoise, bears and more. Watch the mighty lion devour lunch at noon everyday. You can also visit our aviary and feed the birds or give leaves to the giraffes. Come meet A&E TV star Rick the Reptile Guy along with his family, who actually live in the zoo. Located in Crestview, Florida—only 45 min from Destin—the family owned Emerald Coast Zoo is uniquely situated to bring visitors an unforgettable animal experience with an up close and personal touch.
