This wonderful animal preserve is located minutes north of Orlando and is worth the little trip. Pack a lunch and spend the day, so you can bear witness to some of the Earth’s most exotic and exciting creatures.
The park opens at 9am and closes at 5pm, so you are able to take the whole day to explore the park. Take your time as you meander through the paths discovering the animals and creatures that now make the preserve their home.
The mission of the park is to preserve the beauty and wonder of the animals and their habitats. The people and the animals of the park like to share their knowledge and engage their visitors while celebrating the natural world. This park is for the whole family and each member will discover the wonder of the natural world while learning a few things.
While exploring the animal world, you will discover a variety of creatures, like:
•Towering elephants
•Kookaburra birds
•Reptiles from around the world
•Snakes
•Endangered Amur leopards
•Spider monkeys
•The Butterfly Sensory Garden
This is a mere sampling of the creatures that you can see while visiting the park. Take some time and watch as they interact in areas that depict their natural habitat and even find a few who are indigenous to the Florida area.
Once you have had a chance to explore the park on your own, be sure to hook up with the Planet Safari Tour where you will be guided by a trained Docent. This trained professional will take you for a tour around the park, while explaining the park, their mission, and the creatures that call it home. Make sure you ask any and all questions about what you have seen or if you have questions about certain animal behaviors; they can answer those too.
There is a picnic area for your convenience, so pack a lunch or grab something at their café and recharge under a shade tree as you decide the next area that you wish to discover.
A day at the Central Florida Zoological Park will be a great family day of fun and discovery.

Vacation is all about doing things that you do not normally do while in your everyday life, so how about treating yourself to dinner at one of these wonderful places.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion with your loved one or just looking for a reason to dress up and enjoy then you should reserve a table at Christini’s Ristorante Italiano, located in Orlando. The chef’s original recipes will entice you while you get a taste of the different regions of Italy. Along with their Italian signature dishes, you can savor the flavors of prime aged steaks and chops, or treat yourself to a Maine lobster and other seafood tastings that are flown in daily. Finish the evening with one of many delectable desserts as you sip a wine from the extensive list that is offered. The restaurant serves dinner each night from 6pm to midnight and do ask you to make reservations, so that they may offer their top service. Also, they ask that you do not bring your infants or toddlers, as it is not an atmosphere that is fitting for that age group. Dress up in business casual or in formal wear and enjoy your evening out.
Barney’s Steak and Seafood is a great choice if you are travelling with various ages. They offer a wide variety menu that includes a youth portion menu. This Florida Magazine award winner has been serving up delicious dishes for over 30 years! One of their success secrets is attributed to their aged hand-cut steaks and fresh seafood that is offered each day. They have a lunch, early bird, lounge, and dinner menu that tempt you with choices of homemade soups, stuffed mushrooms with crabmeat, build your own surf and turf entrees, stuffed pork chops, chicken marsala, and much more. Peruse their extensive wine list and make sure to save some room for a yummy ending; cheesecake, key lime pie, or Jack Daniel’s chocolate cake.
Orlando boasts a record number of restaurants specializing in every food theme you can think of and a few you may never have. Why not enjoy every moment of your vacation, especially dinner.
