If you’re an animal lover, skip the crowds and mouse ears — this is the real Florida magic. I made this bucket list of all the animal sanctuaries, rescues, and rehab centers in Central Florida that are doing amazing work (and YES, most of them let you visit!). These places will fill your heart if you are tired of the typical touristy stuff. Let me know which ones you’ve been to — and which ones I absolutely cannot skip before I hit the big 6-0 next year. 🐾💛 I plan to visit them all and update this list with my own pictures when I do! 👇 Save this list. You’re gonna want it.

These sanctuaries give rescued wild and exotic animals a second chance at life, and many let you get up close (safely, of course).
