It’s hard to not be excited by River Safari no matter how old you are, as there’s always something to learn at this river-themed wildlife park. The whole family will be awed by over 7,500 aquatic and terrestrial animals, and they’ll go home knowing more about conservation of these animals’ natural habitats too!

You can also get even more up-close with the animals through programs like Manatee Mania in which you’d get to meet, train and feed the adorable manatee family.
