This was advertised as a Seminole "village", but basically it is just a tiny side attraction at a Seminole owned Hard Rock casino. There are a few cages with a lonely bear, a raccoon, red tail hawk, snakes, an African Serval, a pair of panthers, iguanas, alligators and two incredibly cute river otters. As far as Seminole education, there is... More

We decided to visit the Indian village since we had a few hours to kill and the pamphlet looked interesting. We were told by the cashier that they had black bears, birds or prey, alligators, panthers, etc , demonstrations of beading, cooking in the Seminole village and you could interact with the animals. We paid and entered the park. Walking... More

This is not an Indian Village but a gift shop and small wildlife zoo. Which might be OK but for the misleading title and the failure to label the animals or even to explain them to us verbally. I would skip this next time. More

I have visited this attraction several times over the past 20 years.Yes I wil admit it's not sea world, or the Miami Metro zoo, but then it's not being touted as such either.This location and it's exhibits as well as most of it's structures are signifigant in a way those other locations can't compare.That corner the exhibit is on is...

I visited this place 2 years ago and was not impressed, I came back recently, and my son wanted to see the animals. I was not expecting what I saw this park has been remodeled. The animal exhibits look great now! I spoke to one of the staff members and told them about my last trip here was not so... More

There's a reason that there is a big NO REFUND sign behiond the ticket counter - this place is terrible. There is little representation of the great Seminole people - the lady who was supposed to be "cooking" showed no interst in doing so and the animal exhibits were really pitiful. I'm not a fan of PETA, but boy should... More

I cannot believe they actually have the nerve to chart $10 for admission. The place starts off with a tacky gift shop. From there, you enter what's billed as "authentic Seminole village." I cannot imagine that it is. The place is absolutely tiny. There are several animals in small cages. The bear, the two lionesses, the tiger, all looked sad... More
