What an amazing place! This experience was over the top. I was able to feed the Giraffe. We saw a Rhino, Camel, and very large Tortoise. The performers did an amazing job. The food was decent, the ambience was everything.

Up close and personal views of the rescue animals they have here. Fed the Giraffe and Camel. Quite the collection of venemous snakes. The porcupine, hyena and anteater were crowd favorites. Animals are well taken care of, socialized so you can touch must of them.

I cannot day enough amazing things about NGALA!! We had a rehearsal dinner and it exceeded all expectations. The animals were beautiful and extremely well cared for. We were able to feed/pet a giraffe, rhino, camel, baby alligator, and anteater. Our 2-year old had his “best day ever” and our wedding party was blown away by the beauty of NGALA! Would love to see it at night - with the beautiful lights. Even the restrooms made you think you were on Safari in Africa. Simply amazing!

A rare chance to see exotic animals up close and interact.

Ngala wildlife preserve is a great place to hold an event, parties, weddings, corporate meetings. It has tented seating and catering options. Oh yeah and they have a giraffe, camel, rhino, chimp, zebra and more....

This place was amazing! It was so neat to get close to the animals. They all seemed loved and well cared for by the friendly staff!

Fully understand how different facilities have to alter their way to generate some income, this was a very cool experience for NYE. Tables Distance apart, open air bar, single female artist (who was very well playing multiple instruments) while dinner was being prepared and eaten. The store and zoo itself was closed leaving the main activities outdoors under a massive tent. I have been in the 🐚 factory before. Every kind of shell and tourist item. Save yourself time and forget the sand from the beach and trashing your vehicle, make a memory and support your local businesses. Definately a memorable NYE event.

This place is so fun for adults and kids. The outdoor zoo is perfect for having something fun to do during covid. Everyone wore masks as asked and people distanced. I’d recommend it for everyone. The stores were clean. (The bathroom wasn’t great but I don’t fault them, people can be gross) We watched an outdoor band while having a drink too. Just a great day all around. Thanks.

We had a corporate event at NGALA, it was an amazing night with entertainment by Kobake! It is very obvious the staff love the animals and they took the time to education the attendees about NGALA. We had the opportunity to interact with a few of the animals. They care for the well being of the animals and would not bring out any of the animals to a corporate event if the animal was unwell or stressed. The animals love the interaction and the attention they get from the attendees. Not to mention all the carrots we were able to feed the animals. NGALA did explain that they are not open to the public as a way to preserve the wildlife.

Love it!!!! Very nice staff and all the animals are very well taking care of, 🦓🐪🐐🦜🦉🦒

Is a beautiful place I recommend

The other night we spent an evening at Ngala Wildlife Preserve. It was an exceptional over the top event. We learned how they care for the animals with most of them being rescued. Ringo the Camel has been with them since a little after he was born with Blue Eyes and Spots and the mother would not accept him nor feed him, so they bottle fed him and he is now 19 years old. All the animals are well cared for and love the interaction with the people. Its a private Wildlife Preserve which does events occasionally to raise money for the care of the animals. Would highly recommend.

Lots of things to see and do. A great place for mini golf, watching some wild life, and grabbing some delicious food to eat. It's always fun to browse the shops and look for those one of a kind shell treasures!

A very large store full of beach theme gifts, craft shells, clothing, jewelry and a couple of food stands.

Expected a 6/10 and it was a solid 7.5. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great place to take kids. Animal variety was unique and fun. Bumper boats were hurt but fine. Kids loved the carousel. Fun to see so many turtles. Their process for checking in and buying tickets is way too complicated but appreciated the a la carte menu so you don’t have to buy what you don’t want to do. Waited forever for our food at the restaurant.

Loved seeing and feeding all the animals, and lunch was delicious! A fried green tomato BLT! And excellent service!

Great experience, loved seeing the animals and meeting the amazing staff. Everyone was very friendly and I will visit again!

Lots of variety to see and do.

Great place to take the kids for a day! Rides, Zoo, Games, Gem Hunt, Food and Lots of Fun! Its a Tradition around here! Lots of events for all ages and interests. Weekly Farmers Market & Flea Market! All around good time!

Great place to take the kids. Very fun!

Love it went to the zoo and had a good lunch ay the restaurant. Free pool8 table too

Original Florida charm

Ok. Nothing special

Needs improvement. Conditions aren't the best. Looks run down

It's a little cheesy but honestly we really enjoyed it. Lots of unusual shops and then outdoor activities for the kids. Well worth stopping in.

Gumbo fest was so fun

Gumbo fest was going on, fun, but only the vendors were wearing masks and it was an unsafe covid environment. Dwayne Dopsie And the Z band was awesome and worth the trip. Store is overpriced, but a good souvenirs shop.

Great experience. Attended with corporate event. Highly recommend

New family favorite

Awesome experience

Definitely a fun place to visit. And a great place to bring your guests

Great place thats needs more local support. Don't forget to look for the fudge you won't regret it.

Great selection, good prices. We found some nice souvenirs here for a good price.

Kids had a good time lots of things to see and do

Did the flea market today

So much to do and see like the ZOO and Christmas Store! We loved the fudge and the soft pretzels too! Perfect place to bring out of state guests for souvenirs.

My favorite place. No mask required. Beer on tap. Lots of parking. Affordable. Love it.

This place is huge. So much fun

Had a fun time at the flea market always meet so many friendly vendors also found many great finds at the Thrift store , ate at the Restaurant very good food & clean then enjoyed walking through the Shell Factory looking forward to coming to the shows at the Theater heard alot of good feedback . The flea market is open Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.

Never again !!!

Amazing experience! I would teco3yo everyone going. Tremendous people and animals!

Wonderful preserve

Always a joy to see Donovan and the beautiful animals.

Great company and employees. Beautiful and inspiring

Great experience, my family and I went to the christmas party that QE threw for their employees, marvelous place the staff very courteous, the place was magnificent, we were able to interact with a giraffe, and a camel, we saw an owl, and a rhino. Thank you QE and to all the staff at NGALA for the great experience.

Great Place Staff was amazing

Fascinating for kids and adults!

The night was fantastic

Amazing opportunity to see some amazing animals!

Great corporate event

NGALA is absolutely beautiful!! The animals are incredible, you can tell the staff love the animals and have a passion to please their customers. The properties landscape is breathtaking. We attended a wedding here, the stage, lawn and dinner was spot on. I cant think of a better place to have a wedding. Thank you for the amazing experience!

I had the privilege to attend on of their events . It was a wonderful lifetime experience I will never forget.

Its a magical place!!

A very nice place to take your family if I'm back in town I will come again

Beautiful experience, not everyday you get to feed a giraffe :-). Dinner was great as well!

Too little to see ...

We went there for a night work function and it was incredible to be able to feed a giraffe, hold a snake, and touch a Rhino.

Amazing animals and facility

Ngala provides up close and personal look at some of natures beautiful creatures. They also offer catering and entertainment for corporate events.

Got a steal on Groupon! This place is cool! Lots of neat animals you can feed and pet, mini golf, zip line, bumper boats...good times!

I was disappointed this trip. It has went down over the years. The fudge shop was just like it was. Delucious as usual. The outdoor bar needs work and the bartenders need to learn how to mix daquiris.yuk!

Amazing experience!

The Wednesday entertainment at the restaurant bar was great! Seen my red wings shirt and called me out then did a bunch of Motown hits!

Great price for what you get.

It has a lot if years of wear and it shows but it is a great place to take the kids very reasonably priced. They have animals and a store big enough to get lost in.

Gumbo Festival...yearly event...way too much fun for an aging crowd...see for yourself next year !!!!

The food was awesome at the restaurant! Great service from a real sweet young lady named Jackie! Definitely recommend it and will definitely go back there!

Kimda rundown looking, definitely touristy and kid activities for those looking for that. Damn impressive shell collection with lots for sale, also great place to find many Florida and beach style souvenirs of all kinds. It's definitely worth checking out through once of your by.

Historic Florida roadside Attraction, with animals, some rides, and a combination gift shop and museum that you can easily get lost in.

Great place

In all the years that I have patronize shell factory the food is always good never a complaint about the food bin good hot or otherwise I enjoy eating there always. The business likes to satisfy always

Fun place, it's nice they have restaurants and activities. Mini golf was fun, but a little rough.

Fun times. Alot to choose from. They have packages. Didn't do the miniature golf. We had a great time. Live band good people.

The gumbo festival was too crowded. Many people together without masks. Many want a bee gumbo people. It's not gumbo without rue and rice with sausage and chicken.

Amazing location, wonderful place to hold an event, great people, food, animals

Nice place.

Nice place

Unique experience. Safari in the middle of the city with live animals
