Start Your Vacation at Wild Florida Adventure Park!

Millions of people from all over the world flock to Central Florida to kick off their dream vacations. While most head straight for the theme parks, we’re here to let you in on a little secret — the real Florida adventure starts with hooves, feathers and a whole lot of fresh air at Wild Florida Adventure Park!

Here’s why we think your very first stop should be at Wild Florida.

1. Drive-Thru Safari Park Adventures

Explore wildlife like never before from the comfort of your car in our Drive-thru Safari Park. This exciting self-guided tour lets you get close to wild animals roaming free. It's a fantastic way to see wildlife up close while enjoying the convenience and safety of your vehicle. 

Swing by our Giraffe Feeding Platform to meet some of Florida’s tallest locals! Leroy, our charming reticulated giraffe, is always ready for his close-up. For just $5, you can hand-feed Leroy a leafy snack and watch as his purple tongue stretches out to grab it. And trust us, those long lashes and big brown eyes steal hearts (and maybe even the spotlight)! 

2. Experience Real Florida Fun on Airboats

Buckle up and let your hair fly in the wind because you're in for one wild ride. At Wild Florida, our airboats glide across the headwaters of the Everglades, skimming over Lake Cypress with speed, spray and spectacular views.

This isn't your typical rollercoaster. There's no track, no loops, just wide-open water and the thrill of exploring nature in its purest form. Our captains are true Everglades experts who know these waters like the back of their hand, making each tour a one-of-a-kind journey. From sunbathing gators to swooping birds and swaying grasses, Florida's wild side is just waiting to be discovered.

3. Learn and Interact with Wildlife

Wild Florida isn’t just about watching animals from a distance. It’s about getting up close and truly connecting with them. As a gateway to the Everglades, our park blends hands-on learning with real conservation efforts to help protect the animals we love.

From native Florida species like gators and bobcats to more exotic friends like lemurs and sloths, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to interact. Wander through the Gator Park and you might end up holding hands with a lemur or even hugging a sloth during an animal encounter. Whether you're catching a wildlife show or just strolling the paths, you’ll leave knowing more about the animals that call Wild Florida home.

4. Savor Authentic Southern Cuisine

After a wild day of safari drives and gator sightings, swing by the Chomp House Grill to refuel the Florida way. We’re talking pulled pork sandwiches, fried gator bites and delicious slushies that cap off a full day of animal adventures. 

You can grab a seat inside or kick back in our swamp-side pavilion, surrounded by the sounds of nature and a breeze off the water. Take the time to enjoy your meal and share your favorite moments of the day.

5. Escape the Crowds

Wild Florida gives you a break from the usual crowds and chaos. You won’t find packed walkways or hour-long lines here. Instead, you’ll explore wide-open spaces where both animals and guests have plenty of room to roam.

Need to wait for your airboat tour? No problem. You can relax on a shaded deck, watch the water and take in the sounds of the swamp. It’s a slower pace that lets you enjoy every moment.

 

Kick off your Florida vacation the wild way. From giraffe snacks to gator sightings and wild rides across the water, Wild Florida packs your first day with adventure you won’t find anywhere else. It’s fun, it’s real and it’s the wild side of Florida that not many locals even get to experience!
