You will not get far on the beach with one of those wheeled suitcases. They don’t roll through the sand very well. It’s better to drop off your bags with any of our local Bounce affiliates. They are vetted and insured so you can relax and have fun while you’re taking in the sun.

The park started out as Parrot Jungle with over a thousand varieties of parrots, but with the added additions of other wildlife, the name was changed to Jungle Island. While you are at Jungle Island, take a walk through Treewalk Village in eight-foot-tall hammocks. See some exciting animal shows, and experience fun interactions with the lemurs and other animals. They even have an escape room you can try to escape from. Don’t miss Hercules, a 900-pound liger, a cross between a lion and a tiger. Grab a bite to eat at the Pink Flamingo Kitchen before you leave.
