Adventures in Wild Florida

June 16, 2024

If you’re seeking an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Florida, look no further than Wild Florida. This unique attraction offers an exhilarating mix of wildlife encounters, thrilling airboat rides, and immersive educational experiences, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Florida Everglades. It’s the perfect addition to your stay at FantasyWorld Resort, a leading Kissimmee vacation resort.

One of the highlights of Wild Florida is its signature airboat tours. Glide across the pristine waters of the Everglades at speeds of up to 45 mph, and get an up-close look at the diverse ecosystem that calls this region home. From towering cypress trees to expansive sawgrass marshes, each airboat ride promises breathtaking views and the chance to spot an array of wildlife, including alligators, bald eagles, and wading birds.

Back on solid ground, Wild Florida’s Gator and Wildlife Park is a must-visit. This expansive park is home to more than 200 native and exotic animals, including sloths, lemurs, and zebras. Of course, the stars of the show are the alligators – you can even get hands-on with baby gators and learn about their behaviors and habitats from knowledgeable guides. Daily shows and feedings provide interactive experiences that are both fun and educational.

For a truly unique experience, take a drive through Wild Florida’s Safari Park. In this self-guided drive-thru adventure, you’ll encounter more than 100 exotic animals and native Florida wildlife. White-tailed deer, bison, zebras, watusi, and oryx are just a few of the majestic creatures you’ll see as you explore this 85-acre preserve from the comfort of your vehicle. Don’t miss the opportunity to hand-feed giraffes at the elevated feeding platform, providing an unforgettable up-close encounter.

Another must-see is the massive pond inside the park dedicated exclusively as a home for all “nuisance” alligators trapped by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Wild Florida is dedicated to conservation and education, and the park’s mission is to promote awareness and understanding of Florida’s unique ecosystems and wildlife. A great way to learn more is through the Hawk Swamp boardwalk that takes you through a pristine Florida cypress swamp ecosystem.

Wild Florida offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with nature and experience the wild side of the Sunshine State. As you plan your trip to Central Florida, get your tickets for Wild Florida and be sure to book one of the excellent villas at FantasyWorld Resort, an outstanding Kissimmee vacation resort.
