Homosassa Wildlife Park

The Homosassa Wildlife Park is a Real Gem of a Place hidden in this town of Homosassa geared for everyone, old, young, families, or single folks looking for some real natural wildlife fun time.  A unique experience with exotic wildlife whether rescued or born here!   

You can get guided tours, informative conversations, animal viewing areas, bird encounters, snake houses, and underwater areas for viewing manatees. There is a boat ride with a narrated talk and animal and bird viewing.  Or you could simply walk through the beautiful park with amazing spring with crystal clear water. 

It’s a great place to visit any time of the year although sometimes during the year you can get the tour for free otherwise there is a small fee which is money well spent!!
