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.
