    We came here on a Saturday morning at 10:30. I want to give them a great rating, because they didn't have a lot of clients and probably need it. But there were too many negatives I can't overlook. The facility is nice. They have some cool animals and I LOVE you can feed some of them. The first show they have was great!! We didn't go see the indigenous show because my teens were not interested... although I would have liked to go to it. I enjoyed walking through the paths... they made you feel like you were in the true wetlands of Florida. The feeding the big gators was cool and I enjoyed the boat ride. However, the canopy was missing on the boat and the sun was burning my scalp. I had to put my hood on. They should fix the canopy. Joe was the guy who did the animal show and took us on the tour on the boat. He is the shinning light in this gloomy place. He was knowledgeable, friendly and happy. I put a tip in the box, and I hope he doesn't have to share it, because he is the only one who deserved it. Now, the rest of the staff was not. When we first walked in, no one greeted us. There were two people talking and they never broke their conversation to say hello or welcome. I finally walked up to the pay area and spoke to them. The lady who checked us in wasn't rude, but she wasn't friendly either. But then when we left the checkin area, every other staff member we encountered were mad or sad or just unhappy. They didn't say hi... they didn't smile, or anything. Even when I spoke to one lady telling her an incident that happened with the baby gator feeding... I was hoping she'd offer advice, but she just sat there, but never responded. Not one word. Oh, wait, one lady did say hello... when she was smoking. Like why is your staff smoking right at the entrance to the facility (when you pass through the gift shop and enter the "jungle")?? It smelled so bad walking past the smoking area. Why even have one??? I come to your facility to get the nature experience and your staff are polluting the nature experience. It's just gross. I get it's an addiction and people need to take a break and smoke... but put it away from the clients behind the building or in an area we can't go. And if your clients want to smoke, they can go out into the parking lot. Maybe the owner smokes and that's why they made it so convenient for smokers and disregards the non-smokers who have to walk through it. It just seems so backwards to have a beautiful nature experience ruined with a smoking area, especially right when you walk in. Between the rude employees and smoking area, I just can't recommend this place to anyone. Joe is the only reason I gave 3 stars. He is the only thing making the place enjoyable, so don't ever lose him.

    Came here to deliver the Florida gator experience to some friends we had visiting from out of state. This place was such a great experience. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable and truly passionate about the wildlife. 10/10, definitely recommend.

    If you ask the common man what they think of with the equation: Florida + Touristy + Gators = X, most will say that "X" is Gatorland. However, just northeast of Gatorland, is a smaller "red-headed stepchild" of the same ilk in tourist attraction in Christmas, FL: Jungle Adventures. Located on the northside of East Colonial Drive in between Orlando and Titusville, Jungle Adventures is an iconic and historic tourist attraction doted as one of the first "zoos" here in Florida. Beckoning tourists by entering the mouth of Swampy, the "World's Largest Gator," Jungle Adventures (which I will shorthand to JA for the remainder of the review) is a nice albeit simple and small tourist attraction for those who want to step outside of the tourist bubble. However, JA is definitely a place I would like to call, a one-and-done visit. Though it is good and cute in its quaintness, I cannot justify choosing this over others given what you get compared to how much you pay. JA is one of the "unique" tourist attractions of Christmas, FL that helps make the super-small town stand out, outside of its name. It is a small-ish zoo of some sorts that houses a variety of animals, has a nature walkway, an Ais Native American village (replica), and a pantoon boat tour on the green river. My dad and I went here because he got tickets for my birthday, and for what it is, not too bad. We got to see many animals, got to hold some as well especially the hedgehog, and learned much about the culture of the time, especially the Ais Natives. Things I learned because of JA: 1. The Spaniards talked about the "Lizard People" in Florida because Ais would wear the gator hides and look like upright lizards. 2. Ais were ingenious with the land in capturing gators. They used small channels to lure gators as if they were in a tight channel, they could not turn, and they would shove a huge tree trunk into the gator's mouth. It can't bite if its mouth is full right? Overall, it was a good visit, but it is a good visit that as I said earlier, is one-and-done. For starters, all the animals are in smallish animal pods or cages. It doesn't look like they have the room to be moving about like they would like to. The Florida Panther definitely didn't look like they were doing much in their shelter... and it seemed the panther was all alone. A lot of the shows are informative, more so compared to others in other zoos, but overall, Gatorland has shows that are on a higher spectacle with the room and setup to perform such, such as their Jumparoo show. Finally, the price of entry is about the same as Gatorland. Given that fact, I cannot justify as a whole on what Gatorland has, to pick JA over it unless 1.) you live north and don't want to drive any further south for Gatorland or 2.) you just want to visit JA for novelty sake. In the end, I am happy I got a chance to visit JA. As mentioned earlier, I enjoyed my visit and learned much. Too bad it will most-likely not keep up with Gatorland unless they get a huge financial boost to improve. But on the conservation side of things, they are doing amazing with what they have and what they are able to do. For my initial visit, I am giving JA three out of four stars. I cannot say I will ever be back for a second visit, but my initial visit was satisfying for what my dad pay (which was what I was going to pay soloing this place) and what JA has to offer. I even got more pressed pennies made for my pressed penny collection. NOTE: For those who are into geocaching, Jungle Adventures is one of the locations in the Christmas, FL Adventure Lab.

    I have been visiting this place since I was a child. It's a small zoo and they take amazing care of their animals.

    Old Florida at it's best. This is NOT Gatorland but it is the most authentic Florida place I have been to in a long while. Two friends that had visited this site recommended it to me. It is located on SR 50 to the west of I95 by about 9 miles and just before Christmas, Fl. It does not have a lot of parking but has a very large concrete alligator across the front entrance. To enter you go around the large alligator statue mouth and into the gift shop. The staff was very friendly throughout the visit. The entrance prices range from $18-34 with lots of discount opportunities. Tickets include a nature explanation/show, an Native American show and tell, gator feeding and boat ride. They run groups through these 4 items in order so I would suggest staying with your group. The Kilted Conservationist was really knowledgeable and made sure everyone got their questions answered through all 4 parts. He was fun and the experience was very educational and enjoyable. There are lots of alligators of all sizes. There is a walkway that goes around the main enclosure. Be on the lookout for the panther, turtle, lynx and emus. Be careful of your footing as the wood planks are not all even and could be a trip hazard for some. I thought it was a wonderful experience and would recommend it to those that want a truly unique experience where they can hold an alligator or snake and see natural Florida.

    Friendly staff and many animals to see. Lovely guided tour on a boat. We enjoyed the nice cloudy weather in October seeing gators in natural habitats

    Had an awesome time here. 5/18/2025 We were able to walk around and see so many gators it's incredible. Reptile Ryan is the best!! He performs multiple presentations and they are very informative and have interactions for the kids. The kids absolutely loved it and the vibe was cool and chill. We were able to purchase animal food at the gift shop to feed all of animals. We also had the option to buy a little magnet with a photo of us holding the gator/snakes. The magnets were only $6 each so it was a no brainer. Overall, great experience with a great staff. ***a picture in front of Swampy the worlds largest gator is a MUST***

    We enjoyed our time holding the animals and looking at all the gators but felt the enclosures for a lot of the animals were way too small.. If they didn't have all the animals in the tiny habits and just focused on the gators I would rate this place much higher.

    2 year old gator named David.

    Very nice place to enjoy seeing alligators, snakes, monkeys , a lynx and puma. Took our two grandchildren who enjoyed themselves. The boat ride through the duckweed was short but enjoyable. The wildlife show was great. Our Guide, Elle, was fabulous. I even held the baby gator (David), but didn't hold the python Both kids enjoyed themselves. We were there for about 3 hours. Enough time to see everything and keep both kids entertained.

    GATORS ARE MY FAVORITE ANIMAL SO I NEEDED TO COME HERE! Lots of active large gators It's a very excellent example of a natural Florida park , with a history of it beings someone backyard ! 10 ACRES OF GATORS SWAMP & OTHER ANIMALS! Jungle adventure is quit the family fun adventure, with feeding/petting animals, taking boat tours, watching shows, walking around ! My favorite thing about Jungle Adventure is it's on YOUR OWN PACE!!! You can walk around freely, buy food to feed all the animals, pet the animals, watch the shows and enjoy a boat tour ! Our boat broke down, but the driver was amazing and had a back up plan she'd paddled us back :)

    Stumbled across this place on Groupon while looking for something fun to do with my little one during summer break. The staff was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. The Groupon didn't include taxes, which I had to pay when I arrived. It was only $3 extra, so it wasn't too bad. We walked around and saw a few animals on the trail before having to return for a gator feeding show. After the show, we took a boat ride through the swamp. I thought we would see more gators on the boat ride, but we did see a very large turtle. The smell in unpleasant, but it's nature! It's sulfur water, so be prepared for it to smell very natural haha. After the boat ride, we went back into the shop, where they had several tables and chairs and items to purchase to eat. You are allowed to pack a lunch and snacks from home as well, which we did. They have soft drinks, bottled water and Gatorade available for purchase, as well as snacks like chips, ice cream, crackers etc. After the boat ride, we saw another gator feeing show, and another show with hands on experiences with a baby gator, a non venomous snake and a skunk! After that show, we went to the Native Village and learned about the AIS Indians and how they survived in Florida. Overall, a great experience. My son highly approved!

    'Jungle Adventures' in Christmas Florida has the initial appearance of a 1970's Family Vacation road trip destination. I was skeptical! The regular entrance fee ($27 per adult) seemed steep for a big unknown, so I went out to the car and found a gr0up0n for much less. The wildlife demonstration started promptly at 12:30. We got to hold a baby alligator, the option to hold a snake (no thanks!) and our guide let us pet a skunk! We walked over to a Native American pavilion and learned about Florida Indians. An older Native gentleman in the back validated all the info. We headed back toward the gators and watched our guide LaurieAnn, feed some gators. She had names for every single one! And after all that, we went on a quiet pontoon boat ride thru the lagoon. It was a relaxed afternoon with a knowledgeable guide and the experience exceeded my expectations! If there was a negative, it's old. Some of the boardwalks are uneven and the enclosure for the few wild cats they have seems small to me. But it's charming, and they clearly love what they do there! I would love to go back and bring the grands next time!

    An incredible place to visit if you're looking for an informative and up close tour with alligator's, however they also have an abundance of other great animals to see.

The captain was fun, knowledgeable, and made the entire ride unforgettable--we'll definitely be talking about it for weeks. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving it a try!

    I can honestly say that visiting this place and riding an airboat were among the most enjoyable…read morethings I have done in many years. Wow! My family, friends, and I had such a great time and wish that we could have remained on the airboat much longer. This place is located at the end of a very long road. The drive to the property is very quiet and relaxing. The property itself was well-maintained, everything was clearly marked, and the venue itself was fun. There is a gift shop, a snack shop, a food trailer offering hot food, a beverage hit, clean bathrooms, gold mining, and so much more. The employees went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The real reason why you would visit this place is the airboats. Each guest boards the large boats, which can seat 12-15 people at a time. To the rear of the boat sits this huge fan, which controls the boat. Each guest is required to grab a headset or ear protection, as the boats are noisy and loud, and I mean LOUD once they get going. The purpose of the boats is to have fun, of course, but the objective is to look for alligators as you speed through the swamps. During our visit, we spotted nine alligators, and the boat operator stopped so guests could see and experience them up close. The alligators are never disturbed, and they do not seem to mind being watched. Back to the airboats, these things are FAST! The boat operator will have you going so fast on the water, then pull into a complete 360-degree turn when you least expect it. The first time the boat operator sped away from the dock at the start of the tour, you were a tad nervous, similar to riding a roller coaster. After this initial nervousness, you could not get enough of this airboat and only wanted to go fast on the water. I might add that there was a group seated in front of us with a boy between 8 and 10 years old and a young tween girl, and they appeared to enjoy the airboat ride just as much as we adults. This is definitely a fun place for all ages

If you love historic things, this is a cool place to check out in Christmas , Fl. I came here with my daughter's class on a field trip and while the adults loved it, I don't think it's for kids under 6. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable but not as understanding that kindergarteners attention spans are a lot shorter and using big words and making them stand through presentations that are not of interest is the reason I gave this a 3. 5-6 years who see farm animals are going to want to run and see them and they get overly excited so I was kind of mind blown that the tour guide couldn't realize that . There were some cool activities that the littlest enjoyed like filling water pails and cleaning laundry the old way and also make candle sticks . I think this is a cool place for bigger kids and adults for sure.

It's been years simce we have returned buy we finally came with our family a few days ago. Tje weather was absolute perfection! Breezy, sunny with a hint of cloudiness. Nice cool weather, in the low 70's. I planned to come here and have a BBQ with my family. They have grills there. After enjoying some food we decided to walk around and enjoy the scenery of history itself. Experiencing how many lived long ago. Travel back in time with your family and learn about life in the early 1900's. Walk through the houses from back in the day. House of the rich, poor amd middle class. Fun and educational for the family, especially for the kids. Why not plan a picnic or a BBQ with the family, friends or just you and your honey. Either way i guarantee you will have a nice relaxing day. I love it there. One thing I do miss though is the gift shop they use to have. But other then that you could spend hours there! They also have a tennis court there as well. And you can rent out 1 of the 3 gazebos they have there depending on how large your party is. Each gazebo holds a different amount of people. So go and visit this beautiful outdoor museum. Enjoy a peaceful day with the ones you love. I know i will return.
