Visiting Wild Florida was such a wonderful experience! The drive-through safari and zoo were both affordable and full of surprises, making it the perfect outing for families and friends. One of the highlights of our day was getting to feed Walter the giraffe, something that’s been on my bucket list for a long time. He was gentle, curious, and absolutely unforgettable!
The staff were welcoming, the animals were well cared for, and the whole atmosphere felt both adventurous and heartwarming. Wild Florida truly offers a chance to connect with nature in a fun and memorable way. We left with smiles, great photos, and memories we’ll cherish forever.
If you’re looking for an affordable adventure that combines excitement with genuine connection to wildlife, I highly recommend Wild Florida. 🦒💛
We embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the wilds of Florida, embarking on the exclusive VIP tour. Arriving before the park’s opening, we were promptly checked in, eliminating any wait time. Our knowledgeable tour guide led us through the entire park, sharing captivating insights about each animal we encountered. Her genuine passion for these creatures shone through in her words and actions, as she passionately explained their unique characteristics and the efforts made to protect and educate the public about their significance.
One of the highlights of the tour was our opportunity to engage with the capybaras, lemurs, sloths, and, my personal favorite, the African porcupines. Contrary to popular belief, these porcupines don’t shoot their quills at you. Instead, they exuded a playful and affectionate demeanor, resembling and even resembling excited dogs. Their adorable nature made them a delightful addition to our journey.
Throughout the park, we were treated to a diverse array of wildlife, including crocodiles and alligators. Interactive shows provided valuable information about these magnificent creatures and their various species. Additionally, we visited a petting zoo featuring goats and a majestic white turkey.
Our day of exploration culminated in a delightful lunch at the park’s café, where we were delighted to discover a vegan option. The attentive staff ensured our food was prepared in a separate area with separate utensils, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining hygiene and preventing cross-contamination.
To quench our thirst, we indulged in the delicious Safari slushies, which came in souvenir bottles adorned with alligator heads. Next we embarked on a scenic airboat ride through a vast lake, where we were treated to breathtaking views of wild alligators, birds, and the untouched beauty of Florida’s past. This serene and awe-inspiring experience left us feeling both exhilarated and relaxed.
Finally, we embarked on our own drive-through safari, allowing us to explore the park at our own pace. The tour guide even provided designated areas for vehicles to pull over, accommodating those behind us who wished to pass. This personalized experience ensured that we fully immersed ourselves in the wonders of the wild Florida. Here, you’ll encounter a diverse array of animals, including deer, zebras, antelopes, camels, crocodiles, alligators, bison, cows with impressive horns, and a magnificent giraffe where you can feed it and take pictures. The Safari, Gator Park, Wild Florida, and our knowledgeable tour guide made this experience truly special. If you spend some time here, you’ll be in for a treat. We sincerely appreciate everything and look forward to returning soon. Thank you again for making us feel so special and sharing the lives of the animals with us.
