An Experience Of A Lifetime

While it is definite that every visitor will have an unforgettable adventure at Jungle Island, there are those who have experiences that will remain embedded in their minds for a lifetime. Nancy Mendoza, a rising South Florida spanish-pop artist, is a prime example. "I pumped up the trip to my mom for about a week, so by the time Friday rolled around she was excited.", Nancy said. During a recent visit to Jungle Island with her mother and neice, Nancy and company had the opportunity to have numerous encounters with our rare animals, such as our kangaroos, African penguins, and even an orangutan! "I really enjoyed the fact that there are so many great picture opportunities, and that J.I. allows guests to get so close to alot of animals." After a long day of wonderful shows, seeing our exclusive liger and crocosaurus, and a stop by the petting barn, Nancy was delighted! "The experience I had yesterday is one that not many others may experience in their lifetime. I recommend taking your kids and even your parents to Jungle Island. You will experience things there that you may never again see in your life."

The Lemur Experience!

Here at Jungle Island, everyone is bound to have an incredible experience with our animals. Although each creature at our park is unique, our newest, furry primates have already stirred things up! Jungle Island is now introducing their newest exhibit, the "Lemur Experience" featuring the "Loveable Lemurs" from Madagascar. We were able to have an encounter with these soft, little critters ourselves. We were greeted by one of the fantastic animal trainers who guided and provided us with an educational presentation. Sophie, the ring tailed lemur, was happy to see us. Along with Sophie were the Red-ruffed lemurs and the black and white lemurs, who all seemed very energetic as they played around their cages. These prosimians can grow up to be 24 inches, love eating, and enjoy sleeping! Holding their tiny bodies in your hands and feeding them is such a feeling, it just may bring a tear to your eye. They are truly a wonder to witness in person! Jungle Island invites you to this experience. Call 305-400-7275 to book your own experience, or visit http://www.jungleisland.com/ for more information!
