Definitely a fun place to go. I went with my older brother, mother, uncle, and 4y/o cousin and we had a great time .The boat ride was very fun and our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the area. If you're looking for something fun and interesting to do definitely go here if you're in the area.
Great experience! We went on a week day and there was hardly anyone else there. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. The whole park took less than 4 hours..it’s really not that big. But for $20 a person, it was a great way to spend the afternoon.
DO NOT GO HERE!!
The animals are in terrible condition. The enclosures are just depressing and sad. Concrete all over. Tiny cages. Minimal to no coverage. No fresh water.
They have SEVERAL violations from USDA about their poor treatment of animals and the low quality of life. They were giving EXPIRED medicines to the animals. They have gotten in trouble for their animals eating plastic bags more than once - which they are giving out. They were in trouble for letting people give the bear SODA. They have gotten in trouble for the filthy water the animals have to drink. The animals are not up to date on shots - including rabies shots. The animals were fighting and an inspector had to tell them they needed to separate them because the animals were getting hurt. The enclosures are kept in disrepair which can hurt the animals and they have several reports about this as well. There was rat poop in the food prep area
Do not give this disgusting people your money. Report them to the USDA if you notice any of these things still going on when you go. These animals deserve better.
What a pleasant experience. The park was created by the Brooks family some 50 years ago. (they no longer own Jungle Adventures but have an alligator farm nearby). It is not fancy, glitzy or "make believe" like many of our central Florida attractions. You walk on old concrete sidewalks, new and old wood walk ways, some dirt paths. There are different smells from animals, many flowers and trees and creeks. It is wonderful. The workers are terrific. Our tour host/guide was a young lady named Kim. She is knowledgeable, pleasant and is very brave around the alligators. She had a lot to do with the fun that we had. There were also other staff members we observed who were constantly working around the park.
My friend and I were heading back to Orlando from the beaches. On a whim we stopped at Jungle Adventure. What a great decision.
We brought our kids here while visiting Florida. We saw lots of gators, and had a chance to hold one. We also got to hold a ball python. Our guide, Kim, was very informative and friendly. We got to see her feed the largest gators. The walkways looked recently new. Apparently, many of the animals, such as the cougars, were once owned by people who could no longer care for them. We learned that the cougars get enrichment time every day, which is great. We enjoyed the ringtail lemurs, turtles, and tortoises, as well. I was impressed with the compassion of the staff for the animals here. A nice place to visit.
This is the best gator place that I have visited in Florida so far. Tammy our tour girl made our day special, she is the best. You can get discounts for the entrance at the hotels or stores in advance. I suggest to purchase the food for feeding baby gators. The place is really big to walk around more of you come with kids. Don't forget carry water and Snaks because the place just have vending machines. And don't forget bugs repellent.
Such a great experience. I stopped for the restroom while my family and I where on a road trip to Orlando (from my). My mom and I thought the present action on the outside. My dad being the crazy guy he is, said we should go in. So we did. So so so happy my dad said that. The best thing that happened all week. Definitely worth the money(not expensive. Lol). Our tour guide person was the best!!!!!(Kim). She was so bright and happy. It looks really small on the outside. But don't be fooled. It is huge!!! Over 125 gators. You even got to touch some of hw animals. Best day ever!
My husband and I came on our honeymoon and we had a great time!! Definitely buy the 10 dollar food bag for all the animals! Our tour guide Morgan was super fun and informative! The lady working the counter on Sunday when we went was so sweet and helped us with all our questions! It does smell (newsflash it's a zoo) and it is super hot (as all zoos are) but you can really tell they love the animals and try very hard to keep them happy and healthy. All the workers are very nice and they know the animals by name and their stories behind some of their rescues! This is a must do if you're around!
Why visit this zoo? It is small, it has a limited amount of spieces, and that is what makes it charming. Do take the tour. Wonderful guide, you get to interact with many animals. Not only the kids, but everybody. Much more hands on and interacting than the big zoos.
We enjoyed the jungle atmosphere. The trees, plants, shrubs, insects, and especially the swamp where we saw the alligators. It was covered in what looked like green moss. It was a little unreal.
Our guide, Tammy, was Wonderful! The facility could use an update and.paint. .. lots of wood rot. Suggest you use the GROUPON special to cut the.price. Expensive for needing as much work as it does. Bring your own snacks because the snack bar is canned sodas and packaged crackers.
We had a good time, but I won't visit again unless they do a lot of renovation.
We had a blast. Our guide Tammy was perfect and worked with us to get great pics of our 6 month old baby with animals during the show
The website was false advertising. The web looked good, but looking at it personally it looked run down. Their birds inside had drink boxes for nesting house with poo on it. The bears had no shelter out of the weather, which it was pouring rain that day. We called in advance to find out about motorized scooters and was told they had plenty. But arrived and they said the had none. We were the ONLY customers there. The employees were arguing over who was doing the trash. It was a disappointment. I recommend no one ever should go there.
