Wild Florida Airboats Wildlife Park Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Such a fun and friendly place! The parks are immaculate. Animals very healthy and happy. The staff is as friendly as family, too. Lots to see and learn. Wish we had spent more time there.

We went during hurricane season so the lake was way down, but we will be coming back again in the winter

Amazing airboat ride and tour around the safari park. Suggest buying tickets online in advance for less than half the price of turning up and paying on the gate

The airboat ride was a blast, then cooled off in the car, driving through the safari while eating lunch from the grill. Afterward, we went through and saw the feeding show and exotic animal show. Great way to spend day.

I was pretty disappointed to see the size of the enclosures the animals were in. I was here a while back and either I missed the amount of exotic animals they had or they were always there and I didn't see them. It's also likely they kept acquiring more animals over the years. I don't understand how they keep the animals in such small enclosures when they have so much land to work with. For example, the enclosure the bobcat and the Florida panther are kept in is very very small. The containments some of the alligators were in were small. I'm aware exotic animal trades continue and in response to me they will likely claim the animals were rescued, but I'm doubtful of that because they have no credentials to show otherwise. If that was the case, they should post how each animal was acquired on their informative plaques. Also OF COURSE exotic animal trades keep the animals in deplorable conditions! So it is easy to make the claim that each time they purchase an animal it was taken from a deplorable condition. There was no reason to house some of the animals they had, and true rescue would work to bring them back to their natural habitats either on preserves or in containment where they have appropriate space to move. A last point I want to make is how some of the animals are very exposed. Some guests I saw were trying to throw a rock at the alligators, I did not see a team member around to notify them. There should be attendants in each area to ensure the animals safety for that exact reason. I'm extremely disappointed, I recalled this place being better but now feel I was wrong. Only keeping alligators and local wildlife on large land would be enough to educate people, the exotic animals are very unnecessary and just reinforced for me why I don't go to places like this. Do better. Supervise exposed animals, stop purchasing more animals, expand every enclosure.
