THE ACCESS

Private, Behind‑the‑Scenes Tour

This is the most exclusive offering: a private guided tour that takes you deeper into the center’s operation than general admission, delivered by an experienced wildlife professional.

THE ENCOUNTER

Scheduled Animal Encounter

Every VIP visit includes a scheduled Animal Encounter — a focused, up‑close meeting with an animal that’s part of the center’s program. The specific encounter offered changes daily.

THE PERKS

General Admission Plus a Discount

In addition to the private tour and encounter, participants receive General Admission to continue exploring on their own, and a $5 discount on additional Animal Encounters.

What the V.I.P. Tour Feels Like

Expect a compact, intentional hour: you arrive at the North Florida Wildlife Center, meet your guide and move through an intimate, behind‑the‑scenes itinerary that culminates in a scheduled Animal Encounter. After the guided hour you retain General Admission to wander the center at your own pace; because the program is curated, the exact animals and stops you visit change day to day.
