Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Botanical garden and zoo in Sarasota, United States.
The 10-acre facility contains tropical plants, winding paths, and exhibits featuring native and exotic animals including birds, reptiles, and mammals.
The gardens transformed from a swamp in the 1920s when journalist David Breed Lindsay purchased the land and established the attraction in 1939.
The gardens present daily educational programs about wildlife conservation, environmental protection, and the importance of preserving natural habitats.
The gardens open daily at 10 AM, offering guided tours, a café for refreshments, a gift shop, and adequate parking spaces for visitors.
Guests can walk among and hand-feed free-roaming pink flamingos while exploring more than 570 different plant species throughout the grounds.
