Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park

Living in Hernando County, Florida is like a dream....surrounded by beauty and nature - the feel of neighborhoods - the proximity to larger cities, museums, theater, nationally known amusements parks and more.
It is the "and more" I wanted to bring to your attention today. About 30 minutes North in Citrus County is the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park - located on the Homosassa River. This park offers visitors a chance to see endangered manatees up close and personal, red wolves, Florida panther, river otters and much, much more!
You can take a pontoon boat ride along the river and see many more creatures along the river banks and in the water.
This is not a zoo but is certainly a park with numerous wildlife to see and learn about. Education at its best!
Their web page is located here.
