As Thanksgiving rolls around, we’re looking at what truly makes us thankful: an awe-inspiring Florida ecosystem, a team dedicated to protecting it and guests like you who make every moment unforgettable at Wild Florida. Join us as we dive into the wild things we’re thankful for—and how you can celebrate with us this holiday season!
Celebrating Florida’s Rich, Wild Landscape
Florida’s landscape is one of the most diverse and vibrant in the country, filled with lush wetlands, winding rivers and an incredible array of native plants and animals. Florida's ecosystem is teeming with life, from towering cypress trees to hidden marshlands and wide-open waters. At Wild Florida, we’re proud to be part of this incredible ecosystem, sharing the wonders of Florida’s wild spaces with our guests.
One of the best ways to experience this natural beauty up close is by hopping on an airboat ride. Gliding across the headwaters of the Florida Everglades, you’ll get an unforgettable front-row seat to Florida’s wild side. An airboat tour through this breathtaking landscape brings you face-to-face with Florida’s wild side in a way few experiences can match.
Our Furry Friends We’re Grateful to Care For
When you visit Wild Florida’s Gator Park, you’ll have the chance to meet these amazing creatures. Get personal time with some of our favorite residents through up-close animal encounters. These experiences are perfect Thanksgiving activities to let you connect with our animals in a fun and eye-opening way. After spending time with our lovable creatures, you’ll quickly understand why we’re so grateful for them every day of the year.
Our Passionate Wild Florida Team
Behind every airboat adventure and wild encounter is our dedicated Wild Florida team. From our expert airboat captains, who make every ride memorable, to the incredible Croc Squad, who delivers breathtaking demonstrations to educate guests about our alligators, each team member plays a vital role in creating the Wild Florida experience.
Their passion for wildlife and commitment to conservation help bring Wild Florida’s mission to life daily. We’re incredibly grateful for this hardworking crew who goes above and beyond to inspire our visitors and keep our park running smoothly.
Our Amazing Wild Florida Community
Guests can give back by adopting a Wild Florida animal, with part of the proceeds supporting conservation efforts for that species. Each year, we also host Gator Week, where guests enjoy our Gator Park, games, and special demonstrations for a small donation. This year, thanks to the generosity of our incredible guests, we raised $4,000 to help Osceola County high school seniors on their journey to college. Together, we’re making a meaningful impact on both our wildlife and local communities.
The Thanksgiving activities don’t have to end on Thursday night! Gather up the whole family and keep the fun going all weekend at Wild Florida. Celebrate Thanksgiving weekend with us, surrounded by Florida’s beautiful landscape and our incredible animal family. We’re beyond grateful to share this wild world with you, not just for the holiday season but all year long!
