My family is currently visiting Naples this week to get out of the cold weather in Wisconsin (yes, May 1 and its still cold!!). When they visit its always fun to play tourist with them. I have to give a little shoutout to the Kowiachobee Animal Preserve. In 5 years of living here I had never heard of this place. Boy, was I happy we found this little gem out in Golden Gate Estates. When you pull in, it looks much like a farm. You start the tour by feeding some horses & a zebra, riding on massive tortoises and finish by looking at all the different tigers, lions, pumas, & panthers. Unfortunately we had to sneak out of the tour early since it was incredibly hot out and we had some toddlers having temper tantrums. I can't wait to go back and explore more!
A little disclaimer, tours are by appointment only, admission is free however they do request donations since they are a not for profit organization. Wear tennis shoes, bring water, bug spray & suntan lotion.
