A lovely place to visit with the family. The experience of feeding the flamingos and goats is excellent for children...

Really fun family day, I wish I could find my pictures! Highlight for our young kid was holding a baby gator for the first time. I always love having the opportunity to do so. Fortunately the animal handlers seem to really love and care for these animals. The highlight for me was to hand feed the Flamingos 🦩 what a neat thing!
Unfortunately we missed the bird show however we got to see a different show and had the opportunity to pet a 10’ monitor! 🦎
Highly recommend doing this with kids of all ages!

Thanks so much, K! We're so glad you had such a fun family day with us. It sounds like your young one had an amazing first experience holding a baby gator, and we love that you got to hand feed the flamingos—that's always a highlight! We're really proud of how much our animal handlers care for these incredible creatures. Even though you missed the bird show, getting to pet that 10' monitor is pretty unforgettable! We'd definitely love to see you and the family back again soon. Hope you find those pictures!
it may be a small zoo, but being able to feed flamingos by hand is amazing...
something that all the family will enjoy... and the peacocks too
theres also feeding the goats/petting them in their incloser and throwing food to the baby gators..

Thanks so much, Matthew! We're thrilled you and your family had such a great time hand-feeding the flamingos and getting up close with the peacocks, goats, and baby gators. Those interactive experiences really do create memories that stick with everyone. We'd love to see you back soon!
The place was nice but the ads are so deceiving. The AD said "feed flamingos" which was the only reason I bought tickets but you don't get to feed flamingos. You buy flamingo food to feed other birds but you can't access flamingos.

Hi Lisa, I appreciate you sharing this feedback, and I understand your disappointment. You're right that our ad messaging around flamingo feeding wasn't clear, and I'm sorry that created the wrong expectation for your visit. The flamingo food we offer does go toward our birds, but I get why that felt misleading when you came specifically to feed the flamingos themselves. We'll take this seriously and look at how we're describing that experience. Thanks for helping us do better.
Nice place to bring the kiddos we really had a good time
Clean place, a lot of shade, nice animals and good interaction.The only thing that I wasn’t happy with was with the person who i purchased the tickets her name was Carla she was rude so next time I come I hope she is not there to help us

Hi Lohanna, I'm so glad your family had a great time at Sarasota Jungle Gardens! We love hearing that the kids enjoyed the animals and that you appreciated the cleanliness and shade. I'm sorry to hear that your interaction with our ticket staff wasn't welcoming—that's not the experience we want you to have. I'll make sure to address this with our team so we can do better next time you visit. Thanks for giving us the chance to improve.
Over priced not enough animals
