Everglades Outpost

The staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable! I loved the peaceful atmosphere as I explored and observed all the animals, including alligators, crocodiles, pigs, camel, wolves, foxes, lemur, bunnies, monkeys, cougar, lion, snakes, and more. I visited just after lunch, so many of the animals were resting during their naps. 🙂 Thank you for your dedication in giving these animals a safe and loving home at Everglades Outpost! I’ll definitely be back! This is a non-profit, so definitely consider donating if you can!

What an amazing hidden gem! Everglades Outpost is not a typical zoo — it’s a wildlife rescue and sanctuary where every animal has a story. You can get up close to rescued alligators, snakes, panthers, and even exotic animals like lemurs and camels. The staff and volunteers are passionate and knowledgeable, and you can really feel how much they care about the animals. It's fun, educational, and inspiring — perfect for families or anyone who loves animals. Highly recommend!

I've been here twice in 6 months with my Bf (2nd time Mom too). I forgot the girl w/ brown hairs name that helps us each time. She is super nice & welcoming. We love this little place. They don't get any funding from state of Florida please tell friends & family about this place. You can donate too. The best attraction is the monkey, panther, & wolves. You can feed the monkey, camel, zebra & alligator. Maybe others too. Some people think it's cruel to cage animals, but out in the wild they are being hunted & becoming instinct/endangered. At least they are fed & take care of & seem to be healthy at this place. The animals look healthy & well fed. If your thinking about going please go & check it out! Thanks for a great experience.

Recently visited the everglades area on our honeymoon, and since we're animal lovers we stopped in to Everglades Outpost to see some adorable animals in the sanctuary. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we enjoyed meeting all the animals, hearing their stories, petting, and feeding them. We were surprised to be able to pet/feed so many! It was a memorable experience for sure and we highly recommend the tour to everyone visiting the area. In my opinion, it's a great way to support the rescued animals and the caretakers of the sanctuary. Thank you for the good work you're doing, Everglades Outpost!

To be honest is not the best place to visit. I had a completely different idea of what it was. Animals live in awful conditions. You guys better do something else good with those animals.

I had an amazing time at the Everglades Outpost….it’s definitely a place to check out when you are in the area! The staff & volunteers are very knowledgeable, and take lots of time to talk to you. The animals are very well taken care of, and their habitats are very clean. Definitely check out the Behind the Scenes Tour, you will see everything up close and learn so much more, as each of these ambassador animals has a story of its own to tell. We also did the Alligator Swim with Chris Gillette, it was INCREDIBLE!

We did the feeding experience here and it was the best ever! This is a non profit rescue for wild animals. They take awesome care of their animals. They will be having a fair/fundraising event June 24, 2023. Go check it out!

We had a blast here !! It is a self guided visit but a lot of info and history !! You can pay and get a actual tour ! It is a non profit and they just do it out of love for the animals !! They do try and rehabilitate and release the animals back to the wild but some they can’t they take on and keep caring for them by donations. You should check this out if you are in the area !! My kids had a blast and my husband thought it was so cool to see the tiger that close up !!!
