A little preparation helps you make the most of your sunrise wildlife experience.
Plan your route from Orlando along State Route 50 before the morning of your visit and allow extra time for traffic, parking, and check-in. Arriving a few minutes early keeps the group on schedule and gives you time to settle in before entering the open-air enclosure. Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are sensible choices for an outdoor Florida morning.
This is an intimate guided encounter rather than a performance. Animals may choose where to move and how close to come, so every visit unfolds differently. Following your guide's directions helps protect both guests and residents while creating the quiet atmosphere that makes the experience special.
