Exotic Animal Experience is a private, 7-acre interactive zoo located in Orlando, Florida, just 15 minutes from Orlando International Airport near Highway 528. Founded in 2010 and licensed by the USDA and Florida Fish and Wildlife, the attraction features over 40 species including lemurs, sloths, kangaroos, capybaras, monkeys, and camels — all raised from infancy for comfortable human interaction. Unlike traditional zoos, guests enjoy hands-on encounters where they can pet and hold animals rather than observe them behind barriers. The facility operates Saturdays only by appointment and offers a range of experience packages from group visits to private ultimate encounters and specialty options such as the Simply Sloth experience. Exotic Animal Experience is an ideal destination for families and visitors seeking a truly immersive, one-of-a-kind wildlife encounter in central Florida.
