The Park is open to visitors every day of the year from 9:00 AM until 5:30 PM.  The Visitor Center on Suncoast Boulevard is the starting point for guests arriving by car or bus. From here the visitors are transported via pontoon boats through a scenic waterway to the Wildlife Park.  The boat trip usually lasts 20 minutes. Here the guest is already exposed to the Real Florida with its native birds, plants and trees. The cabbage palm (red arrow) is the State Tree of Florida. Special Educational Programs
