Wild Florida – Timings

Wild Florida - Timings

The park welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Please note that the main gates and all primary attractions are closed on Sundays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
Last Admission and Final Activities
To ensure guests have enough time to complete the experience, the final entry to the Drive-Thru Safari Park is at 5:00 PM.
Regular daytime airboat departures run throughout the afternoon, with the last daily boat leaving the dock at 4:30 PM. Guests looking to experience a private night safari must pre-arrange their departure times with the reservations team, as these excursions take place after regular park hours.
Daily Show Times and Educational Presentations
The Gator Park hosts regular educational demonstrations that are included with standard admission. The popular exotic animal and live alligator shows take place twice daily, currently scheduled at 11:00 AM and 3:45 PM.
Presentation times can occasionally shift based on seasonal weather patterns, so checking the daily schedule board upon arrival is highly recommended.
Animal Encounter Schedules
Interactive animal encounters operate on strict, fixed schedules to ensure the health and well-being of the residents. Sessions for the sloths, lemurs, and porcupines are conducted at 10:15 AM, 12:00 PM, and 2:00 PM.
The specialized alligator feeding encounters are held separately at 11:45 AM, 1:30 PM, and 3:15 PM. Because these groups are kept small, you must arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled slot.
Suggested Arrival and Duration
We recommend dedicating a half to a full day to fully experience everything the venue has to offer.
Arriving right when the park opens at 9:00 AM allows you to complete the Drive-Thru Safari or take an early morning airboat ride when temperatures are cooler and the wildlife is most active.
Planning your activities with a two-hour buffer between airboat tours and scheduled animal encounters will ensure a relaxed, unhurried visit.
