Alligator and Wildlife Discovery Center

The goal of Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center is the provision of humane, professional care for pet surrenders and orphaned native wildlife that cannot be safely returned to the wild.  The Center is home to over 250 animals including lizards, small mammals, amphibians, turtles and tortoises, fresh and saltwater marine life, and of course….alligators.  Their animal family comes from various sources such as the FWC, SPCA, wildlife rescues, and individual owners who can no longer care for their pets.

Equally important, the Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center strives to provide education to the public about the natural history, importance of, and ways in which humans can coexist with the rich diversity of wildlife in the world.
