Reviews
"I love this place. It is clean and well maintained. The parking is free and the people are friendly. They have two entrances depending on where you want to park and get to the main part of the park. They also have a small food area where you can purchase sandwiches and drinks. As you walk through the park you'll see a ton of different types of animals. Take your time! The park isn't huge but they have a lot for you to see! I recommend getting the pass. It's nice to go there and hust relax."
"Our trip was an overall wonderful experience. We loved seeing what was once an amusement park being used as a rehabilitation center for Native wildlife. The underwater fishbowl (observatory) was a really unique and special feature."
"Incredibly well run and well maintained park. The courtesy wheel chairs were a blessing! If you go - don’t miss the boat tour!"
"Went as part of a tour from Viator but glad we came. All the animals were cool to see. We loved the manatees, and Lu the hippo. The habitats looked well taken care of. The park is a little small. You can finish the park in an hour, there is a tram that we missed. A nice chill afternoon to plan away from the adventure parks and see some of the native wildlife that Florida has to offer."
"real adventure, people who work there do great job and most of them are volunteers .. you could tell that animals, and most of them in need, are treated right, their places to "reside" are fairly big, many things need to be improved, but it probably needs a rich person with vision to improve a really good thing which is happening here. Hated to see injured manatees from boats, birds with amputated wing after hitting a car or other injuries caused by us humans. But seems, that in this place they are given a lot of love from people who probably work for pennies."
