Top 10 Things To Do at Wild Florida Adventure Park

First thing’s first – experiencing Florida’s natural wonders on an airboat ride sets the pace for the rest of the day. Glide through the water on this incredible boat with the wind in your hair and the headwaters to the Florida Everglades all around you. Spot wildlife such as alligators, different bird species, and more as you travel over the water.

While enjoying the airboat ride during the day is an amazing time, nighttime airboat rides offer a slightly different experience. These private tours of Florida’s nature are a truly unique moment where your family can watch the nightlife of the Everglades. More roaming gators and creatures come out to the surface and it’s definitely a sight to see.

Take a break from the heat and drive thru the park’s safari! All you have to do is hop into your own vehicle and roam the trail of exotic animals. You’ll spot zebras, giraffes, and more wild animals from the safety (and AC) of your car.

You may have been to a petting zoo, but these animal encounters take it to the next level! You can get up close and personal to several different animals, including sloths, alligators, ring-tailed lemurs, albino gator, porcupine, capybara, and tamandua. Albino alligators are one of the rarest animals roaming the world – there are only about 200! Their pink-white skin makes them susceptible to sunburns and their lack of camouflage puts them at a real disadvantage. And if you’ve never seen a capybara or tamandua before, you’ll learn so much about them when you visit!
