Mission statement
Provide an unforgettable Everglades experience that promotes a connection with animals while inspiring education and conservation.
In 2010, Wild Florida set out to preserve one of the few pieces of private property on Lake Cypress in the Headwaters of the Florida Everglades. With an eye on polishing one of the jewels that is a throwback to what Florida used to be like, Wild Florida gives Orlando visitors and local residents a glimpse of what it’s like to explore the wild side of Florida.
In our Gator Park, we have over 200 animals on display, including exotic animals like zebras, sloths, lemurs, and Watusi, just to name a few. We have a walk-in bird aviary with pheasants, parrots, and other birds from all over the world. Our animal keepers are very knowledgeable about the habits and history of the animals in our Gator Park. You can even fulfill your lifelong dream by working as an animal keeper for a day. It’s only one of the many interactive programs we have with our animals.
Experience Florida in a unique way with our Everglades airboat tours. No two tours are the same, so every adventure will give you and your family an opportunity to see Central Florida in a new way. Orlando airboat tours explore pristine landscapes home to a number of animals and plants that make up the Florida Everglades ecosystem. You can skim across the shoreline to encounter wildlife or venture into endless beautiful swamps, marshes, and rivers, day or night.
Travel down the unbeaten path to get up close and personal with wildlife from all over the world, right from the comfort of your own car! Our Drive-thru Safari travels down four miles of dirt terrain, so you can see native and exotic animals, typically only seen on TV. The fun doesn’t stop after your excursion! Just outside the Drive-thru Safari trail, get face to face with our giraffe family members and feed them!
While you are feasting on all this natural beauty, we have something to delight another one of your senses. Visit our restaurant, The Chomp House Grill, to enjoy awesome barbecue, burgers, and local favorite meals! Plus, try our Swamp Slushy – a delicious blend of mango, orange, and passion fruit.
Wild Florida is also the perfect place to host a team meeting or a special event you would like to make extra special. With two different indoor venues and one outdoor venue, we can help make any team building, class reunion, work retreat, or any special event a one-of-kind experience. Our team can coordinate all that you’ll need, from food to music, for your upcoming event!
Hop on board one of our U.S. Coast Guard certified airboats for a tour of natural Florida. You’ll see alligators, turkeys, wild hogs, eagles and many other animals who call the Florida Everglades home. You will be amazed at what you are able to see in this little piece of heaven we call Wild Florida.
