Giraffes and a black bear exhibit are among the latest additions to this perennially popular Naples area zoo — a favorite daytrip destination for families. Rent a wagon for the kids and take in the exhibits and shows, from alligator feeding to a presentation of predators, held in an open-air theater. Be sure to budget time for the 20-minute Primate Expedition cruise (included with admission), where you’ll travel past islands of monkeys, apes and lemurs.
