Buccaneer Bay is the place to make a splash!
If you’re more of an explorer, rent a kayak or a canoe from Paddling Adventures and enjoy the 3-hour, 5.5-mile paddle down the beautiful spring-fed river.

The park features a variety of captive animals such as alligators, black bears, red wolf, key deer, flamingoes, whooping cranes and the oldest hippopotamus in captivity. The native wildlife that reside in the park serve as ambassadors for their species, providing visitors face-to-face connections between the diverse Florida habitats and the animals that call those habitats home. Each with a unique life story, all of the animal inhabitants are here for the same reason: they are unable to survive in the wild on their own. Daily programs educate visitors about the various species and what can be done to protect Florida's valuable natural resources.
