There is a playground here so kids can play and run around in a safe environment. Wild Florida also has a walk-through exhibit where you can learn more about alligators, zebras, watusi, and other animals, as well as talk to the staff about how they keep the animals safe and healthy. Orlando Parents Recommends: I use Rakuten to get rebates on my everyday shopping online and then use the money that I have saved to go out to dinner with the family. You need to stay alert while driving as the animals will cross the road as well. Several families had their sun-roofs open and let taller kids stand through them to see everything. The speed limit inside the park is 5 miles per hour but when we went, we were usually going even slower than that.

Be prepared to go slowlyĭepending on how many cars are driving through at the same time, be prepared to stop frequently. You can get stuffed safari animals, books with fun animal facts and more. Orlando Parents Recommends: If your kids love safari animals, check out the National Geographic store at ShopDisney. You may want to have the kids switch sides first, though and you can make a quick stop in the parking lot to do that. However, if you feel like your kids didn’t get to see everything equally (or you just really liked it) as you exit, there is a turnaround that lets you re-enter the safari, and same-day re-entry is included in the ticket price. Most of the trail that you drive surrounds the park so many (but not all) of the animals will be on the driver’s side. On the checklist that kids are given at the entrance, there is a fun fact about each animal that the kids can read to you and to each other. Your kids can use it to check off the animals that they see as you drive through the park. Tip: As you enter the park, you are given a checklist, so ensure that you have a pen ready. On our visit, several cows caused a traffic jam. As you drive along the curved 2+ mile road, you’ll find lemurs, alligators, and other animals alongside the road, and even in front of your car. As we drove through, we saw several animals come right up to our window to say hello (and we saw one emu that went from car to car pecking into the windows). Do not leave your car, as you will find yourself right next to the animals. You enter the park and drive around the park on an unpaved road. The premise of the drive-thru safari is simple.
