Intimate Exotic Animal Encounters for Orlando, FL, Locals, and Visitors
Journey to a place filled with cute creatures by visiting Exotic Animal Experience. Our one-of-a-kind facility is filled with a wide variety of creatures ranging from lemurs to kangaroos to monkeys. Our 7-acre property is the best place for an exotic animal encounter in Orlando, FL, because we let you get close to all 40 of our gentle and social creatures. They easily interact with humans and each other.
Schedule a time to visit and cuddle the creatures during your own exclusive tour with the exotic animals. This is your chance to actually pet the soft fur of endangered animals instead of viewing them through bars and cages. As the human population grows, their homes shrink. Experiencing these little ones up close and personal helps you get to know your animal neighbors.
Observe Kangaroos, Lemurs, and More
Exotic Animal Experience is enjoyable for animal lovers of all ages. Who can resist the wide-eyed appeal of a lemur, the antics of kangaroos, or the round snout of a sloth? We don't keep our animals behind glass; you can pet and interact with them instead of just looking at them. The way we operate makes seeing, learning about, and appreciating animals much more fun than at a zoo.
