FIELD TRIPS
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to go on a wildlife exploration? At the Sarasota Jungle Gardens, school groups take a trek with us through wild jungles and meet interesting animals along the way. Learn how some animals use their senses just like us! Or find out how some can see in the dark! On school field trips, students will learn this and many more things throughout the park while getting up close and personal with animals.

ABOUT
Sarasota Jungle Gardens
A tropical adventure awaits all who visit the Sarasota Jungle Gardens. One of the oldest continuously operated historic 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 school and youth groups, families, locals and tourists alike.
It is home to more than 250 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.

FUN FACTS
The giraffe’s tongue is black to prevent sunburn while eating in the hot sun. Their spots, which are as unique as humans fingerprints, are designed for camouflage. And they need less sleep than any other mammal, using the time instead to browse for food.
When you go to the zoo, be on the lookout for the clever ways animals adapted to their surroundings and developed traits that help them survive.
