Central FL Zoo or Jungle Adventures?

[krisceeg]

We are going to Orlando the first week of June . . . we have a 5 1/2 year old and an almost 4 year old. Would it be worth taking them to either the zoo or jungle adventures? I know it will be hot, so that'll be a factor too. They love animals. We do plan to go to Gatorland for sure.

Thanks!

I can tell you the Central Florida zoo is a SMALL zoo. BUT it has wonderful mature trees (for shade) and they just added a small splash park (included in admisson).

If you go on the weekend-for a fee you can go backstage and feed an elephant!

I'm assuming that you are taking them to Animal Kingdom?

Actually we are only planning on the magic kingdom for theme parks because my husband will be in training all week and will only have one full day with us . . . so the days he's in training, I was planning to take the boys to Gatorland, Wonderworks, the zoo, mini golf and hang out by the pool hotel.

Sounds like something my kids would love. How far from Disney is it? We're actually staying in Kissimee? And do you have to plan the feed the elephant thing ahead of time?

It is right up I-4. I am not sure where you are in Kissimee. I would say it is about 30 minutes from WDW.

The backstage with the Elephant is done the day of. (That is how we did it). If you have a membership to your local zoo-you may get into the Central Florida zoo for free. There is a list of zoo's on the website that they are member of.
