Named the #5 best zoo in the U.S. — the seventh year in a row that it has been near the top of the list — Brevard Zoo in Viera is a wonderful place for animals and the people who love them. Let’s get the details from the official Brevard Zoo release:

“Today, Brevard Zoo was named the No. 5 zoo in the United States by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. In addition, the Zoo’s membership program was named the No. 4 membership program.”

“A panel of experts worked with 10Best’s editorial team to choose the nominees for each category, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.”

“This was the seventh year in a row that Brevard Zoo was nominated as one of the best zoos in the United States by these awards.”

Opening its doors in 1994, Brevard Zoo was constructed by the community as a place to reconnect with wildlife. Over the last 30 years, the Zoo has built on that start to become a force for animal wellbeing, conservation and education.”

Brevard Zoo is one of the best in the country and it’s right in your backyard in Viera on Florida’s Space Coast.

Designed to accommodate passengers sailing from Port Canaveral’s Cruise Terminals 5 and 6, a $93 million new parking facility is the largest and most complex parking garage ever constructed at the Port, with the 13-story facility scheduled to open in fall 2026.

Once the new garage is in service, Port Canaveral will offer nearly 17,500 parking spaces across eight different garages and surface lots port wide to accommodate cruise guests’ parking needs, further solidifying its distinction as one of the country’s leading drive-to markets.

Encompassing more than 1.2 million total square feet, the new garage will feature eight extra-large elevators, each able to accommodate multiple passengers and their luggage. Twin two-lane vehicle ramps will expedite vehicular traffic through the garage floors, while two vehicle connecting bridges will allow access to the adjacent recently constructed CT6 west garage. In addition, a pedestrian bridge will provide passengers with easy access to the Cruise Terminal 5 entrance.

The world’s busiest cruise port, Port Canaveral is currently home to seven leading cruise brands operating over 1,000 sailings from 18 ships, including some of the newest, largest, and most technically advanced ships in the world offering a wide range of itineraries, from weekend getaways to week-long adventures and beyond, visiting some of the world’s most spectacular destinations.

Cruise Hive editors remarked, “While some cruisers opt for the most conveniently close homeport, the smoothness of parking, check-in, and even debarkation are all factors in just how popular a port may be. Port Canaveral excels at the cruise experience, with easy-to-read signage directing drivers to their respective cruise terminals and ample parking ensuring a smooth arrival and departure.”

Port Canaveral achieved the world’s busiest cruise port distinction with 8.6 million revenue passenger movements in Fiscal Year 2025. Recently named Cruise Critic’s “Best North American Homeport,” Port Canaveral is currently home to seven leading cruise brands operating over 1,000 sailings from 18 ships, including some of the newest, largest, and most technically advanced ships in the world offering a wide range of itineraries, from weekend getaways to week-long adventures and beyond, visiting some of the world’s most spectacular destinations. A popular drive-to market, approximately 75 percent of passengers sailing from Port Canaveral drive to their cruise.

“Thoughtful, forward-facing investments and development projects keep the port at the forefront of technology and innovation, ensuring an updated and ever-adapting experience for millions of cruise guests each year,” noted Cruise Hive editors.

Port Canaveral is committed to enhancing the guest experience through initiatives such as the Port Canaveral Advantage℠, a $912 million five-year capital improvement program that includes facilities upgrades, the expansion of two existing terminals, additional parking facilities and technology that allows for more efficient embarkation and debarkation.
