Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Botanical garden and zoo in Sarasota, United States.

Sarasota Jungle Gardens is a 10-acre botanical garden and zoo at 3701 Bay Shore Road, with a curved pond bordered by reeds and lawn and a low brown building with three tapered chimneys. Its collection includes the largest Norfolk Island pine in Florida, a bunya-bunya tree, strangler figs, royal palms, staghorn ferns and native bald cypress.

In the 1920s the site was a swampy banana grove that city records called "an impenetrable swamp". Local newspaperman David Breed Lindsay bought the grove in the early 1930s to create botanical gardens, and admission fees were charged from 1936. The gardens opened for business in essentially their current form in 1940. In the early 1970s the park was sold to the philanthropic Allyn family, who still manage it.

The gardens have charged admission since 1936 and opened in essentially their current form in 1940. Each December, during the holiday season, a Punch and Judy puppet show performed by "Professor DeWitt" has been an annual tradition for over sixteen years. Free-roaming flamingos that visitors can hand-feed are the park's main draw.

The gardens sit at 3701 Bay Shore Road in Sarasota, on over 10 acres of plantings and animal exhibits. Admission is by per-use ticket, with yearly membership passes available for frequent visitors. A cafe and gift shop are on site, and daily educational and entertainment shows run alongside the free-roaming flamingos.

Visitors can hand-feed free-roaming pink flamingos, allowing direct interaction with the birds as they walk through the grounds. This differs sharply from typical zoos where barriers separate people from animals.
