From the moment you pull into the driveway you can tell that this place is past its prime which, I should point out, is OK in an of itself. It is when you exit the vehicle and first lay eyes on the poor black bears who are forced to live on concrete in what looks as though it was once... More

I tried to get into this place, but just found it very depressing. Seeing Florida panthers, cougars and black bears laying around in cages just struck me as sad. It reminded me of how zoos looked before they transformed them into more natural open settings. This is a place that needs a lot of upkeep, but it is probably a... More

We were staying about 45 minutes away in Cocoa Beach and wanted something different to do. For $96.50 three adults, one child, a small variety bag of animal food and an alligator "fishing pole" for feeding them provided about three hours of quality entertainment.

Cute little magical buildings that are all empty inside or filled with business offices. You can walk for miles around theme park and stand... More

Actually, we enjoyed ourselves very much.. the exterior leaves a lot to be desired, but the staff was great, and the big cats worth the trip..Also, very interesting lecture by Seminole Indian..
