    Bamboo snack

    I had a wonderful evening with the capybaras here. Penelope was feeling sociable and the babies were just too cute.

    Capybara

    We had an amazing time! We learned so much! We were very impressed with our guide and everything she knew about each animal, their names, their story & all the details about them. Petting the Capys and Sloth were a bucket list and it didn't disappoint. We loved the one on one feel, unlike just going to a zoo and reading about animals surrounded by lots of people. If we come back to Orlando we will definitely visit again!

    Private tours for $50/person! Absolutely loved our experience. It was just three of us girls and we got to hold a boa named Glades, feed and pet capybaras and sloths and got to meet a bunch of cool animals. The gal giving us the tour is so knowledgeable and made it a lot of fun. We also learned you should buy orange juice from FL because when you see the juice is made in places like Brazil, they are destroying rainforests. I definitely recommend going!

    Wonderful experience! A small place with big fun and close up time with critters. Our guide was so great with my kids and they enjoyed learning about their favorite animals! Highly recommend the private tour!

    One of the baby capybaras knocked out from belly rubs

    My partner and I had an amazing time with Megan for our tour experience! Be prepared for the humidity and bugs though, the mosquitoes were starving. All of the animals were super cute and fun to learn about and see up close and personal! Would definitely book again with the company. The capybara in the picture is alive and well, just asleep from all of the belly rubs and chin scratches!

    So much fun!! Learned so much and got to see all kinds of amazing animals! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to see uncommonly seen animals!

    I have a love for sloths. I was thrilled to find out they had a place i could actually see and pet the sloths. So me and 2 others went down the Saturday after Valentines and had quite an adventure with the animals. They require a $40 deposit and you pay the rest after the tour. The $40 covers one person entry and there has to be 2. Or more in your group. They have 2 tour times we chose noon. This place has all kinds of wild animals and some you can pet some you can't. I came for the sloths but i learned so much about animals some i had never heard of. The tour is about an hour and a half and i would recommend others to go and see the animals. The money goes towards food & other things for the animals. It's attached to the back of the couples home. We really enjoyed out selfs. The animals are already named so the slots were Luke &

    What an amazing place to visit!! We had a great time seeing and learning about all the different animals in their care. Will go back to play with the capybara next time I'm in the area (mom had just given birth that am...omg the babies are soooo cute). Loved the meet and greet with the sloths...incredible creatures!! Highly recommend

    I booked a private tour for myself & my daughter & it was incredible. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly & funny. We got to see animals that are so beautiful & we learned some new information. The capybaras were incredible & we were able to see Penelope's (mama capybara) babies. The armadillo was hilarious & the sloths were lovely, if you have a child that loves animals this is the place to visit. You must make a reservation!!!!

    Amazing animals is Amazing... can I say that?? We live around the corner and found about this on social media, and as big animal lovers we decided to book a tour. First of all, when you get there you find yourself at a house... yes I was confused too, BUT they have a whole animal world in the back that it even feels like you're been transported to a different place when you open the side patio door. Our tour guide was so cool -sorry I forgot his name-; Friendly, knowledgeable, and a true animal lover (which is what you want to know when visiting these kinds of places). Every animal had a story as they are a rescue place. And every animal has a very unique personality too! We were able to interact with some of the animals, and my daughter and her friend were loving it. While they were enjoying the interactions, I was just all about the stories. And, of course we got to enjoy a very close encounter with a sloth at the very end! Who doesn't want to be close to, and feed a sloth??!! I truly recommend you visiting this hidden gem...you'd be supporting a good cause, plus you'll have so much fun... mostly if you have little ones that have been locked at home since before spring break!

    I cannot recommend this experience enough. Amazing Animals Inc. shows what it's truly like to care for animals! Especially those local to their home. We found this place by chance through Google searches of all kinds and were impressed with all of the reviews! We are from NC but we're visiting the area for Disney and wanted to find something unique to do outside of the Disney bubble. This ended up being a surprise birthday gift for my husband and brother in law who both love animals! My husband never dreamed that he would be able to interact with a capybara on such a personal level, and the experience we had with the sloth blew us all away! Megan was an incredible guide informing us about all of the animals they house, most of which are rescues, which we thought was incredible. She did a great job teaching us about the different animals and how we can help save their homes. Also this business is a non-profit, so the money for your tour goes straight back into caring for the animals. We may not be local, but we visit the area for Disney at least once a year, and we will definitely be back! We can't wait to see how this place grows. My only wish is that I would have gotten more pictures, but I tried to pay attention to learn as much as possible! 10/10.

    This is an amazing animal sanctuary and place to meet all kinds of exciting animals! Tour guide is very knowledgeable and you get great interaction with these amazing animals including sloths!

    Oh my goodness! I have never been to a better animal sanctuary/zoo/rescue in my life. I am so happy that Amazing Animals exists and I love what they are doing here. The tour was private and long. We got a 1 on 1 experience with all of the animals from snakes to capybara, sloths, emu, donkey and pigs. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I had a capybara fall on his back for belly rubs and it was such an experience. Come here! This will be the best part of any vacation you've ever had!

    I had such a great experience at Brevard Zoo! It ended up being the perfect afternoon activity. The…read morezoo is very well maintained, clean, and easy to walk through, which made the whole visit really enjoyable. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. You can tell they take pride in the zoo and care about the guests' experience. I also think the admission price is a good value for everything you get. It never felt overcrowded, and there was plenty to see and do without feeling rushed. Overall, I had a really fun and relaxing time and will definitely be coming back again! Definitely remember to bring In a few quarters to buy fish food, etc!

    When we were looking for places to visit with my brother in Viera, the zoo - something we hadn't…read morebeen to since our kids were little - was not top of mind. Yet when you are 10 minutes away from a nationally-recognized zoo...OK! We were impressed with this zoo: the care taken to create an environment that each animal could feel good in. All I could remember were the old-style zoos with the poor animals in a concrete prison, bored and lethargic. It was so refreshing to see the opposite here. We wandered through the various lands (the zoo is well laid out) and had a marvelous time. Rhinos, lions, monkeys, flamingos, giraffes and more. All close enough to get good pictures. We appreciated that each area had a thoughtful description of the animals to learn more. Seeing the giraffes so close as they ate greenery was amazing! Even on a weekday, the zoo was bustling with families. The zoo also was starting a new endeavor, a light show beginning that night, which looks like it will be fun. My brother was set to visit the following week; we alas would be back in California, and have to content ourselves with photos.

STAFF: 4.5 STARS Everyone was pleasant and helpful if you wanted them to be. ANIMAL VARIETY: 4 STARS Not all antelope like some places. SIZE OF ZOO: 4 STARS I had expected it to be smaller based on the reviews, it is not tiny, a pleasant size without being exhausting. VALUE: 4.5 STARS Good price for 2 or 3 hours of beastly entertainment. GIFT SHOP: 2 STARS The ghastly high prices did not bother me, as one is supporting a worthy cause, but the tee shirt selection was sparse, and none with the handsome cheetah face on them. SUMMARY: 4 STARS Please support non corporate theme park Florida attractions ( Gator Farm, Tampa Zoo, Cedar Gardens Williston, Silver Springs, Weikee Wachee etc), and this is a good one.

    what a lovely place to host a 4th birthday party for my son !! they were so hospitable & we had a…read morelive lizard visit too. they provided a nice sized room, decor, pizzas, utensils, and drinks with the party package. all the kids had such a great time. the zoo was nicely made w/ an easy to walk pathway through it all - very stroller friendly! their reptile exhibits were extensive. it is definitely a smaller sized zoo but that also makes it an easy walk for families with littles. lastly, the splash pad is a blast !! it is a full on water zone & it's fun to see the littles run & play - i will caution though that their are some bigger kids that run a little too hard so keep an eye on your little ones there. we have many more tickets to use from our party package so we will be back real soon - maybe even this weekend :)

    Bambi's Mini Petting Farm - Baby capybara's love for you to scratch under their chin

    Bambi's Mini Petting Farm

    (5 reviews)

    My friend took me on the best birthday adventure at Bambi's Mini Petting Farm. It was a surprise…read moreand when we pulled up I saw goats, sheep, donkeys and highland cows. I can't think of anything that is more fun than spending an hour with two different capybara babies. Mango and Kiwi. On the way in we petted the camels. They came right up to the fence and stuck their large heads out. They were seeking attention because they very used to being petted. We were startled when one made a loud guttural braying sound. The owner explained they were letting us know they want carrots. We had about 20-25 minutes with each capybara so all together the encounter was an hour. We got a plate of raw sweet potato sticks and romaine lettuce leaves to feed each animal. They were about 4 months old and Mango the male will be about 140 pounds full grown and Kiwi was the runt of a different litter and is expected to be approximately 90 pounds when full grown which is a very small capybara. It was just my friend and me so we spent time petting and feeding them. They love water so their coat was smooth but fur like a beaver. They are in the same family as guinea pigs so they make a similar sound. They have leathery pads on the bottom of their back legs because they can kick like a kangaroo. They like being scratched under their chin and relax so much they fall over and then are disoriented about what just happened. Hilarious. Bambi's Mini Petting Farm has several different types of animal encounters including baby doll sheep and two miniature cows. They had three goats which were having kids the following weekend and you can either tour the farm or select to bottle feed the baby goats. They have plans for a holiday tour and are getting a sloth. Check out their Facebook page for events.

    We came here to celebrate my daughter's 5th birthday and she loved it! They have lots of animals,…read moreand the owners are very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

    Gatorland - Adventure hour

    Gatorland

    (1.2k reviews)

    Our last day in Orlando and we went to one of MY Favorite Places: Gatorland!…read more We first visited this Gator Sanctuary with our son, Mathew when he was 3 years old and we all loved it. Gatorland was started in 1949 by Owen Goodwin as a 1/2 day Family Attraction. It has since grown and now the Park has over 100+ Gators including a few albino's. Since I last visited the Park in 2018, Gatorland has added a Zipline with 5 lines which zip over Gators. This was an absolute MUST DO! The 2nd favorite thing I LOVE doing, is feeding the parakeets aka budgies You can purchase a bundle of popsicle sticks with peanut butter at one end rolled in bird seed. The Birds will flock to You and start eating. You can actually feel their "tootsies" on your skin and they are very warm. You MUST shuffle you feet to avoid stepping on the little ones who are pecking away at the dropped birdseed on the floor. My 3rd favorite thing is feeding the Gators. You can purchase Turkey hotdogs, break them into pieces and toss them to the Gators! They come swimming up to you to be fed. How COOL! My next favorite is the Gator Show which involves completely harmless Gator: wrestling. Basically the Trainer gently straddles the Gator and tips his chin under his. Be sure to come hungry as they have a cafe which serves, you guessed it: Gator bites/nuggets. They are SO yummy!Okay by now, you have figured it out: I LOVE the entire Park and highly recommend that if you visit Orlando, add Gatorland with Ziplining to your Vacay Adventure, you won't regret it!

    Absolutely would come back! So worth your time if you're in the area. The prices make sense and…read morethere are SO MANY gators! The lot of land is much much bigger than we realized. Our favorite area were the crocs - spent a lot of our time watching them. The show we saw was great and we were able to get photos with the gator after. There's also many other animals to see like farm and birds! Staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. Train ride was fun, relaxing, and we got to see even more of the park. Highly recommend!
