Today's adventure to Wild Florida was truly impressive. Many times, when you visit an attraction with children you leave feeling like you didn't come out ahead. That is not the case with Wild Florida. First, we took a thirty minute airboat tour of the lake. Captain Todd was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. It went way beyond a typical ride. From there we enjoyed something to eat at the on-site restaurant. Again, I was shocked with the bang-for-your-buck value. It wasn't a gourmet meal, but it didn't have to be. We then took a stroll through their nature preserve and saw Macaws, skunk, baby alligator, 'teenage' alligator, adult alligator, albino alligator, turtles, and much more. This was truly a wonderful stop in our family vacation.

We absolutely LOVE this place! We did the boat tour on Saturday at 9:00 am so we arrived around 8:20, plenty of parking spaces (by 10:00-11:00 am was completely packed) and we checked in and waited until our boat arrived. Beautiful views, boat is pretty noisy, but tolerable, we saw a couple of baby alligators, which was awesome, and a lot of birds. The captain of the boat was knowledgeable and nice. I think his name was Bobby. After the boat tour we were allowed to go to the park and see the different exhibits and animals. We fed alligators, we even hold a baby one (with permission and supervision obviously). We pet baby goats, and a tiny pig , they were adorable! . All the staff are super friendly and nice!! For sure we’ll be back soon . 100% recommended!

We had a good time. For the airboat ride, it was really convenient that the supplied hearing protection, but it is better to bring your own foam earplugs, I used both. They have food to buy there, but very limited menu, and they get busy so it takes a while. Next time I will bring my own lunch. The highlight was watching the gators get fed, and the ostrich come right up to the window. We went on a Monday and it didn't seem crowded at all

Wild Florida is a great place. It was a lot of fun. It is not a full day unless you want to spend a lot of money. We did just an animal interaction & just walked around. If you want to do the air boat ride & drive through safari you can spend a full day. But even if you want to do even one of those things, I definitely recommend it. The staff is super friendly & zoo keepers speak very highly of the place. The food is well priced, good quality, & the corn bread is fantastic. We bought more on the way out. Definitely worth the trip & we will be making another this year.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

To get into the park is free for the rest of the year, the air boat ride is the thing we went for so we did the air boat & park, well worth the $. The captain was friendly and very knowledgeable. All the staff were wonderful! Go for the hour air boat ride. We did 1/2 hour but next time it will be longer.

I will assume that the Gator Park & Animal Zoo is absolutely, even with some imagination, no place to walk two small dogs that like to bark - spooking animals in residence, etc.p

Doug DeWitt | Jun 29, 2019
Kenny | Jun 30, 2019

Correct. Like in any other wildpark/zoo, you and your pets are just visitors in some animals home and should be able to behave as such.

How old fir children to go on airboat ride? Can I buy tickets at the park ? I’m a Florida resident and how would it cost ?

Yvonne Keiper | Jun 29, 2019
Kevin Morris | Jun 30, 2019

No age limit for kids, any age is ok - life jackets and hearing protection are provided. Florida residents get into the wildlife park for just $5 which is cheaper than regular admission or Groupon discount. The wildlife Park is a great value and there will be plenty of picture taking opportunities there.

We are thinking of going for an airboat ride. Trying to decide between the hour or the half hour tour??? Is the extra $$$ for the hour worth it?

Sheri Catrett | Jun 29, 2019
Latty Rob | Jun 30, 2019

Absolutely, the extra time will give you the luxury to take the time to stop and enjoy your experience. For example our captain stopped to allow us to take pics of bald eagle, blue Heron, giant snails and let's not forget the gators. We visited a momma gator guarding her nest. It's like he knew exactly where to go. Sorry such a long reply but definitely worth the money.
