Our 105-acre facility hosts a true Florida swamp and we house injured native wildlife that may never be released into the wild. We also have exotic and exotic invasive species found or surrendered by owners. Daily animal demos! Special topics talks weekly (All about Alligators, Eyes on Eagles, Butterflies, Solar Observing on Fridays at the Planetarium). We have a cool planetarium (44-foot dome with a Media Globe II planetarium projection system) with three different shows per day and different shows each month. There are special events throughout the year.
