Feeding Time with the Sloths
Get up close as our sloths enjoy their favorite time of day: mealtime! Sloths enjoy a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. Watch our trainers hand-feed them some of their favorite snacks while you interact with these adorable animals. And don’t miss Guy, our resident sloth, savoring his beloved corn on the cob for a moment you won’t soon forget.
Pet a Sloth Up Close
Ever wonder how a sloth's fur feels? Wild Florida’s sloth encounters allow you to get up close and personal to feel it yourself! Unlike the soft or rough textures you might expect, sloth fur has a distinct feel. Sloth fur can develop algae in the wild that camouflages them from predators. This odd adaptation makes petting a sloth a unique and fascinating experience.
Can’t get enough of petting these gentle creatures? Upgrade to a VIP Sloth Experience, where you’ll have the chance to hold one of our two-toed sloths and maybe even be their cuddle buddy during a nap!
