The new attraction promises 10,000 square feet of indoor wildlife experiences and interactive education, so guests can beat the Florida heat and scattered storms while exploring the exhibits and learning more about the ambassador animals on-site and the importance of conservation.
The new attractions offerings include:
- Up close animal exhibits and encounters: Get up close and personal with Cool Zoo’s animal residents including sloths, kangaroos, lemurs, alligators, snakes, capybaras, porcupines and so many more! Whether you want to have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of holding a sloth or just want to get a close-up view of some amazing animals, Cool Zoo allows guests to experience wildlife like never before.
- Educational attractions and activities: From gemstone mining and fossil finding to 360 Virtual Reality machines that educate guests on how they can make a difference for wildlife, there’s no shortage of hands-on experiences for guests at all price points.
“When we were searching for the perfect place to open our wildlife center, Orlando emerged as the top choice, said Jim DeBerry, president of Cool Zoo Wildlife Center. “We’re so excited to invite Orlando residents and guests from around the world who share our love of wildlife and conservation to meet our ambassador animals and we hope to spark a love for wildlife conservation in everyone who visits.” Cool Zoo’s wildlife ambassadors meet the Association of Zoos & Aquariums’ (AZA’s) Ambassador Animal Guidelines, to meet the public for short periods of time to teach the public about conservation and encourage wildlife sustainability. These animals do not remain at Cool Zoo Wildlife Center for extended periods of time and move into forever homes after completing their ambassador programs.
