What to Do in Wild Florida
In Florida, we are blessed to have so many landscapes and sights to see. Wild Florida offers an intimate look into the lives of native and exotic animals roaming freely. Locals and tourists travel to the Everglades for a first-hand experience with our state’s wilderness. Take your family on a safe trip through Florida’s scenic landscapes for an unforgettable and educational experience.
Safari Tour
Wild Florida Airboats offers drive-thru safari rides that your child will love. Trek through the nature preserve that’s home to numerous animals and plant life that contribute to Florida’s Everglades ecosystem. The unique experience allows your child to get up close and personal with wild animals, such as oryx, American bison, eland antelope, and more. But it doesn’t end there; afterward, your family can actually meet and feed animals, such as giraffes!
Animal Encounters
Included in your wildlife experience are meetings with a variety of animals. In the Gator Park, your family will be able to participate in unique and enriching activities with the wildlife, all while catering to their natural behavior. During the animal encounters, your family is accompanied by animal care team members and can feed the animals safely.
Gator Park
After you’ve gone through the safari ride, visit the Gator Park. You’ll get to meet Crusher, their biggest alligator, weighing in at more than 1,000 pounds. The tickets to the Safari Park includes admission to the Gator Park, where you can enjoy a multitude of educational animal shows like Crusher’s.
