Open Now

Coastal Wilds is a zoological park featuring more than 35 different animal species. It is best known for its interactive, hands-on encounters, allowing guests to swim with otters, pet capybaras, and feed sloths.

Visitors frequently praise the memorable personal encounters with animals like otters, capybaras, and foxes. However, opinion remains sharply divided due to the steep $200–$300 per-person ticket prices, as well as ethical and safety concerns regarding animal welfare and a lack of AZA accreditation.

  • Budget $200–$300 per person for encounter experiences
  • Book signature encounters to swim with otters, pet capybaras, or feed sloths
  • Be aware that the facility lacks AZA accreditation, which raises concerns for some visitors
