We are a family owned and operated attraction beloved by generations.

We have big dreams and work hard to fulfill them for the good of our local community, national and international visitors and employees every day. We educate and delight children, and those young at heart, with the less hurried, non-manufactured, up close and personal interactions with nature. In fact, we are one of the oldest continuously operated attractions in Florida established in 1939. We ar

e rich in history and look to preserve memories of ‘old Florida’ days gone by while remaining current and exciting for today’s families, locals and tourists alike.

Where are the turtles AND tortoises?! 🐢

We know it’s kind of corny to have a Rocky and Adrian in our gardens. 😉 But these corn snakes are no champion boxers, they enjoy relaxing and slithering around for our guests. 🐍
