This is a unique zoo. You can kayak around the giraffe island, the aviary allows you to feed the birds, and you can go right inside the kangaroo pen. It’s a nice place to walk and see many kinds of animals in real habitats.

It's a local place with a great view! You must go out to the end and relax at Rikki Tikki bar and watch the waves and surfers. It is an amazing spot. It was bought by Westgate and is now more touristy and expensive, but is still worth seeing. Take a beach walk and bring flips and money, and drop right in.

Tom Yum Gai soup is excellent and I usually get the spider roll and the french roll. It's all enough for 2-3 to share. Other guests have recommended the mixed seafood pad thai and the seaweed salad. Eat-in ambiance isn't the greatest, so I recommend you get take out and enjoy it at the house. They have one restaurant on A1A next to the Canaveral Post Office, and one in Cocoa Village.

This cute and fairly new bar and distillery is on Central Avenue just east of McDonald’s and A1A, just off the freeway. They have drink specials, some pretty decent bar food, music and comedians at certain times of the month. The owner and the bartender were friendly, and very helpful. All the bar guests were fun and interesting as well, which is usually rare but made this our new go-to place!
