A tropical adventure awaits all who visit the Sarasota Jungle Gardens. One of the oldest continuously operated attractions in Florida established in 1939, Sarasota Jungle Gardens evokes memories of Florida days gone by. Full of flora, fauna and fun, yet it remains current and exciting for today’s families, locals and tourists alike.
It is home to more than 200 native and exotic animals including birds of prey, different species of parrots and macaws, primates, small mammals, dozens of snakes, lizards, iguanas, alligators, crocodiles and other reptiles – many of them rescued or donated – including Florida’s noted pink flamingos. All nestled within 10 acres of lush tropical landscaping connected by winding jungle trails.

Life in many forms all begins with a seed. In time that seed blossoms into something amazing! At Sarasota Jungle Gardens we have thousands of different types of plants. Some small, and some as large as an apartment building. Come explore the Jungle and learn about the vegetation. How does this differ from native plants? How does a plant reproduce? What are the different parts of a plant? Learn about this and much more.
This is a guided tour with interactions through the Jungle of our Zoo. Students will get a hands on learning opportunity to explore the Jungles that make Sarasota Jungle Gardens famous. They will get to plant their very own specimen to take with them. Learning packets will be provided to teacher before the exploration to help guide the students into learning as much as possible from the trip.
Students will get to learn what a plant needs, how they grow, and even what they look like under a microscope!
Minimum: 10 students.
