Jungle Adventures, A Real Florida Animal Park - Christmas, Florida

Absolutely amazing!!! My brother and his family were traveling from New England, and they requested to have experiences not offered up there. THIS TOPPED IT! The girls loved it, ages 10 and 13, and we, the adults, had a wonderful time! It is extremely educational, fun, and interesting. The staff was amazing!

I absolutely LOVED this place! My sister brought me for my birthday, and it's a real Florida gem. The kind and knowledgeable staff made our visit wonderful and fun. Lots of laughs and enjoyed seeing all the exhibits. Hands-on gator experience and fun, educational wildlife show with hands-on interaction. Reasonablely priced and really enjoyed the bulk package option for feeding the wildlife. Everyone got a treat!!! We will be back and thank you for not making me pet the Tarantula...

We had a few hours between a cruise and our flight home, so I found Jungle Adventure in Christmas, FL.
We spent about 3 hours and saw just about everything. It was very interesting.
Reptile Ryan, is very well informed and made the presentations interesting.
I can't help but think how much our kids would have enjoyed it. This is a good way to spend a half day with kids of all ages.
You can hold a baby alligator at no extra charge as well as a pretty harmless snake and a good sized tarantula!
Reptile Ryan encourages lots picture taking.

The best experience I have had lots to see and do. So much is included with the price. We get to see and hold different animals and reptiles. We also had a boat ride around the lagoon. L the guide we had given us the tour was a pleasure and yes she told us her name is like the letter L. She made the experience even that much exciting. Highly recommend it to anyone. Better than gatorland.

This place was so fun and we had it all to ourselves, we went the last week of August. We were able to buy a bag of food and in the bag was food separated for other animals. We could feed the baby alligators, the goats, monkey, etc. We went on a Swamp boat ride which was really fun, saw huge alligator swim up to the boat. We were able to hold a snake, a small alligator, and a tarantula. They take your picture while holding the alligator and they turn it into a magnet that you can purchase before leaving. The guy there that was showing us around (I think he said his name was Brian) was great, you can tell he loved the animals. He went to the feeding area for the alligators and we were able to watch him feed them, they would jump out of the water and it was wild to see. They have A LOT of alligators! I would definitely recommend visiting!

Jungles Adventures, which I have visited periodically over the years. Unfortunately, my most recent visit has left me deeply unsettled. Upon arrival, I noticed that several of the turtles were housed with little to no water in their enclosures. Each time one attempted to move, the sound of its shell hitting the concrete floor was both distressing and concerning. Additionally, the living conditions for the Canada Lynx and Florida Panther were troubling. Both animals are housed in exceedingly small enclosures, and the Lynx in particular appeared visibly depressed, while the Panther exhibited signs of distress and agitation. The alligator exhibit, where visitors are encouraged to feed the animals using hotdogs and fishing poles, raised further concerns. The alligators are confined to a cramped space where they appear to be constantly piled on top of one another, lacking adequate room to move freely. What is most concerning to me is the disparity between the rising admission prices and the deteriorating state of the facility. I have observed no signs of renovation or improvement in the exhibits, and the overall conditions are not reflective of the standards one would expect, especially considering the financial investment that visitors make. This situation raises serious questions about the management and care of the animals. It is my belief that the facility requires new leadership—one that prioritizes the welfare of the animals and reinvests resources into improving the facility, rather than allowing it to decline further.

Very unique old school Florida attraction. You get to hold a baby Alligator and purchase a cool magnet souvenir.

You can also buy the feed and feed the animals and then go on a swamp boat ride through the duck weed swamp! Following a short boardwalk.

Definitely needs some updates, but it's still lots of fun!

Even though the weather was cold, we saw enough alligators. I liked the part where we walked over the lake the most. We also held a small alligator without an extra charge. The staff was kind, and it was nice to be guided by them.
