KID FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Beyond our hands-on encounters, kids love exploring our shaded pathways to find Florida’s rarest animals! Start at our magical Ghosts of the Glades exhibit to marvel at Topaz, our ultra-rare blue-eyed leucistic piebald alligator, alongside his striking albino friend Po. Then, head over to Reptile Cove to meet Kira, our friendly Featured Creature crocodile who is always ready to show off her famous smile for an Instagram photo.

The adventure continues with our playful tropical Kinkajous, cute Fennec Foxes Sahara & Sparky, and our new Bobcats, Parrots, and giant-hit KuneKune pigs! Finally, walk out onto our bridge to peer down at the prehistoric power of Goliath, our massive 15-foot crocodile, lounging with his front-pond buddies Bully, Jimmy, Spike, and Titan. With so many unique furry, feathered, and scaly residents, there’s a new friend waiting around every corner!

VISITOR TIPS FROM OKEE

To make your family outing to Palmdale as smooth and enjoyable as possible, we’ve got a few handy tips to keep in mind! Our main 1,000-foot wooden boardwalk and pathways are completely flat and fully stroller-accessible, making it a breeze to navigate with toddlers and infants. You will definitely want to pack your camera or have your phone fully charged, as there are endless, one-of-a-kind photo opportunities around every corner, from holding baby gators to standing right next to our friendly giant tortoises.

Since we are located deep in the beautiful Glades region, summer adventures can get warm, so we highly recommend bringing sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses! To help keep our park clean and our animals safe, please remember that outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the gate. But don't worry, we’ve got your crew covered with plenty of ice-cold drinks and delicious snacks available right inside our gift shop!

DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP YOUR SWAMP PLEDGE STICKER IN THE GIFT SHOP.
