Helpful Hints

  • There is no place to park if you arrive early. There are several parking lots near the intersection of Old Canoe Creek Rd. and Canoe Creek Rd. where you can wait. Please allow 10 minutes to drive from this area to Wild Florida. 
  • Use the Bathroom before you arrive! Please use the restroom prior to arriving at MAKE ‘m SMILE-fari. Facilities are very limited. You will be in a line for the safari drive and there are no places to stop. If necessary, consider stopping at a business near the intersection of Old Canoe Creek Rd. and Canoe Creek Rd.
  • Help us keep the lines moving through the safari. Please do not stop in the lane unless there is an animal in your way. If you want to spend a little more time in an area, please pull over to the right side of the road. 
  • Please DO NOT FEED the animals any food or throw anything into the road.
  • Stay inside your car at all times.
  • Keep your arms inside the car & hold onto your hats!
  • Giraffe Feeding & Gator Park will not be available.
