Good morning from the Dade City Wild Things Zoo!!!

We have embarked on a new stretch of adventure seeking daredevils who dare to zip line across our tiger enclosure! We are in the process of preparing a zip line across our newest enclosure that will house several tigers in a 150 year old sinkhole that is filled with water from an underground water source. Tigers love the water and this is a beautiful enclosure both in practicality and in aesthetics! Add to that a zip line that crosses the structure and the Wild Things Zoo will once again earn its namesake!!! There is information on our website: Dadecityzoo.com.

Our tours are featuring the American Bison this week. We have two beautiful girls, mother and daughter, close to 2000 lbs. each. Our tram tour will take you comfortably around the park, teaching and talking to our human friendly animals, some as close as 3 feet! We will stop and get off of the tram and start talking to the bison, persuading each to swagger up to us while holding carrots and romaine lettuce within their peripheral vision! The first step is slow, the rest of the steps are quick! The pampering with the carrots and lettuce are enjoyable to all and especially to the two big girls!!!! Pics will be taken of each feeding to collect off of our website later that evening.

Our Sunken Jungle Walking Tour is priced at: Adults $22.99, Seniors $20.99, Children (2 - 12) $12.99. Our Jungle Safari Tram Ride is priced at: Adults $14.99, Seniors $13.99, Children (2 - 12) $12.99.
Afterwards, try a Class A personal encounter with one of our animals which have earned the Stardom labeling that include a White Bengal Tiger Cub, 7 weeks old; a 3 month old Coyote Pup; or a 3 month old Lynx Cub.
The Class B personal encounters are available hosting gators, bearded dragons, ball python snakes, deer, fawn, piglets and a variety of other intriguing animals!
