VISIT FLORIDA's family travel expert Jennifer Michaels visits with the animals at the Central Florida Zoo near Orlando and Sanford. First established as the Sanford Zoo in 1923, it started with a collection of donated animals held by the Sanford Fire Department. The current zoo opened at its present site on July 4, 1975 and it continues to grow as Seminole County's premier recreational and educational attraction. Not only is it a destination for zoo lovers from across Florida and the nation, it's a hit for train buffs. Folks waiting for the nearby Auto-Train stop by for visits, not only to see the elephants, but to ride on the park's historic excursion train. less
