It's been a while. Here's a fresh 321 Daily roundup to help you plan a little closer to home: somewhere to eat, a different kind of Zoo night, and a free activity to put on next week's calendar.

Around Brevard

Let someone else cook this weekend

Fall is for Foodies is back, with special menus and dining offers around the Space Coast. The tourism office's restaurant list lets you browse by area and see individual offers. Check each restaurant's terms before making your dinner plan.

Next week: a free first race for the kids

The Space Coast Runners Youth Series starts Saturday, September 19, at Viera Middle School. It's free for children 12 and under, with short distances by age group. Races start at 9 a.m.; register your child online and arrive early for check-in.

This weekend

A different kind of night at the Zoo

Brevard Zoo's Beware the Night opens Saturday, September 12, at 7 p.m., with glowing displays and spooky paths. Some areas are darker and scarier than others. Check the Zoo's ticket calendar for available nights and admission details before heading out.

Prefer a daytime visit? Kids can go free

Through September 25, Florida residents can bring up to three children age 11 or younger free with each paying adult at Brevard Zoo. Adults need proof of Florida residency. The offer cannot be combined with other discounts; check the full terms. Plan nighttime-event tickets separately.

Keep this handy

Have a backup before the weather changes

Our rainy-day family guide has four indoor options: a library visit, Brevard Museum, the Dinosaur Store, and Magic Dove’s Saturday show. Compare costs and opening times, then follow the official venue link before heading out.
