About

Our Interactive Animal Encounter

Exotic Animal Experience (E*A*E) is one of the most unique, hands-on, interactive animal encounters in Florida! Our animals have been brought up here from infancy as pets, even living in our home when they were still in diapers, so they've been socialized around people for years. When you visit us, you get one-on-one interaction with animals you would typically see behind bars and fences. They not only love the interaction, but look forward to it!

About Our Animals

Our animals are native to a number of different countries, but since they have been brought up as siblings, this makes no difference to them. They would never come into contact with each other in the wild, but here they're family. They not only enjoy one another's company, but are thrilled to meet our human guests as well. We invite you to come have an experience you will not soon forget!

Visitor Testimonials

"From beginning to end, my daughter and I loved our ultimate experience. The animals are well-cared for, super interactive and friendly. Our group leader was so knowledgeable about all of the animals, their likes and their behaviors. We spent a great amount of time with all of them and weren't rushed at all. The day we went, we only had 2 other people in our group so it was like a private visit. It's worth every penny. I also recommend adding on the photo package so you can focus on your time with the animals and let a professional take great pictures for you!"

"This was by far one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in my life! My mother and I did the ultimate experience and that is exactly what we got. The experience was amazing!! We got to meet a lot of animals including the sloths Sake and Blossom, kangaroos ( Love Bug was adorable), lemurs and many more. The animals are well taken care of and loved by the people who work there. They provide a safe and healthy environment for the animals and that is how it should be. I would recommend the exotic experience to anyone. It's something you will never forget. I want to thank the staff for an amazing time and for allowing people to interact with the animals. It has been my dream to hold a sloth, and now I can check that off my bucket list. With all this being said, we will definitely be back!"
