“SARASOTA JUNGLE GARDENS” – Sarasota

Activity Level: 3

Our mission is to educate and inspire our community through interactive experiences with animals and nature supported by unmatched customer service

Sarasota Jungle Gardens is home to more than 200 native and exotic animals including birds of prey, many different species of parrots and macaws, primates, small mammals, dozens of snakes, lizards, iguanas, alligators, crocodiles and other reptiles – many of them rescued or donated – including Florida’s noted pink flamingos. All nestled within 10 acres of lush tropical landscaping connected by winding jungle trails.
The fascinating flamingos are a favorite among visitors who travel from all over the world to see the long-legged, pink-hued wading birds. The flamingos are not shy and often greet guests personally, sometimes face to face. You might catch them splashing, flapping, and strutting around. One may hand-feed them or view them strolling by. Other times, one might see the joy and thrill in a child’s first wide-eyed encounter as they interact with the flamingos, egrets, ibis, ducks, pelicans, and other wildlife just passing through.

We will start with a Galore show, an approximately 20-minute combination of three shows and includes birds, reptiles, and other wildlife. After our show you will have time to explore the 10-acre zoological gardens.

Lunch stop after at Linger Lodge Restaurant (OYO). Menu in office & on website
