    The love from Lemur. I can't remember their names. But they are all adorable.
    SzeWan C.

    I love this place! The staffs treat the animals with love. All animals are very close to human beings. When you touch those cute animals, you felt the love and lighten up your day. Need to shout out for Jodi. She took great pictures of us. Thank you so much :)

    Leslie and her team were very organized in how they educated us beforehand with each animal. It was a fun experience in a safe environment. We enjoyed a great day getting to hold and play with animals we'd never likely see up close!

    What a fantastic and unique experience! My best friend and I visited here when we were looking for something different to do, and did we ever find it! We signed up for a normal group experience, and must have lucked out because it was just us and a family of three, which allowed us a more intimate experience with the animals. We got to visit goats, sloths, zebras, wallabies, horses, and more. The two coolest experiences were definitely the lemurs and the kangaroos. The lemurs were energetic and fun, and I loved having them jump all over me! Be careful because the man with us got bit! The kangaroos were adorable and it was amazing feeding one. Make sure to dress comfortable, as one of the goats ate a hole into my friend's floral shirt! Also, they charge extra for credit cards. Definitely consider checking this place out!

    We have been to several places that show us animals and allow us to briefly touch them . This place was completely different ! It starts with the personalized attention you get from the owner when you make your reservation and she isn't instantly asking for a cc number . We arrived and were greeted by the sweetest Irish wolfhound and Great Dane . Once some basic rules were gone over they gave us a very hands on tour of each enclosure . The lemurs were literally jumping on us and playing , the sloth was loose and able to move about as she wanted . The kangaroos were all around us and we got to feed as well as give a bottle to the big baby . They never rushed us or were pushy , actually they were so patient and each area didn't end until we were all done . They all answered questions clearly and patiently about the animals and how they started. The facility is immaculately kept , Way cleaner than my barn and breezeway. It really made for an amazing experience ! Thank you so much

    You had me at Lemurs! My idea of the topping on the cake, the lemurs were the first thing we saw. Jodi and Lynn are very knowledgable about the animals, from their origins and eating habits to where they like to be scratched! Playing with Tater as he went after my sunglasses was the best! Best of luck to Lolly, her babies are due in 2 weeks! Petting and feeding the Kangaroos and goats, as well as a beautiful zebra named Zoe! Just an awesome way to spend an afternoon. Thanks Leslie! Can't wait to go back!

    The workers were kind, funny, and knowledgable! They take good care of their animals. We got to pets all of the animals we wanted to, and we got to hold quite a few of them as well. The area was well maintained and we were greeted immediately by some lovable dogs. It's expensive but worth the cost!

    This is most definitely the most mind blowing experiences I've ever had when it comes to exotic animals! I was blown away at how hands on they allowed us to be with the animals. I can't say enough about this place to ANYONE that's making plans to visit Orlando. I'm lucky enough to live in Orlando and will be visiting again very soon!

    My buddy

    Very cool place. Let's you interact with lemurs, kangaroos, zebra, and more! Very friendly staff/owners and animals as well. Much better than going to any old zoo and standing behind chains, peering in at the animal hiding behind a bush. Definitely an adventure worth experiencing!

    Furry friends!

    Definitely on the smaller side for an aquarium, but I appreciate how it's around so many other…read morethings which is why I'm giving it a higher rating than if it was just standalone. We have free passes with our Legoland annual pass, so we checked out this place, the Orlando, Eye, and Madame Tussaud's. There was a lot of things to read, I made my older son practice reading by reading a lot of the plaques. There was also some fun interactive screens. And the highlight was a mermaid that was swimming around in the tank that came up to wave at everyone. It must be somewhat common place because we saw the mermaid a couple of times and only in one area where people rushing up to get pictures. The aquarium is broken out into sections, they had quite a few different species. My son also liked the touch tank. Overall, it took us about 45 minutes to get through so it's not a full day thing. If you read more, you could maybe make it last a couple hours, but for young children, I would say about an hour. Parking at icon park is easy. There's a free parking garage that has free parking on the upper levels and pay to park on the lower levels. When we came at about 5 PM on a Saturday there were tons of spots. I don't think this place gets that busy until nighttime.

    This aquarium is located in the icon center. This is part of attraction there. Parking is at the…read moreback of building or the garage. Parking is free. The back entrance next to Bluemen Group directly connected. The fish collection is good. It is a lot from different ocean. They also have collections from Everglades. I like seahorses collection. One of the seahorse is called pork belly seahorse. Sounds like a dish in the restaurant. Just kidding. I also like the decorative stone in the water. Most of them are like South America relics. I also like the touch tank. I got to touch small animal. The visit may take 1.5 hours to complete. There is the Florida residence price. I recommend this visit with kid.

    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.

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!
