Sarasota Jungle Gardens has been delighting visitors since 1939. We are an old Florida zoological garden where you can walk among or hand-feed our flock of free roaming flamingos, pose with a parrot, hold an alligator, see crocodiles, lemurs and many other rescued animals among our beautiful gardens. Attend our daily interactive and educational animal shows featuring parrots, reptiles and other animals. Personal interactions with animals also available. Admission sales support our animals. Open 363 days a year. We are Sarasota's Favorite Family Attraction! Kids Love Us!
