This only-in-Florida roadside attraction is dedicated to tracking down southeastern USA’s version of Bigfoot, the eponymous Skunk Ape (a large gorilla-man who supposedly stinks to high heaven). We never saw a Skunk Ape, but you can see a corny gift shop and, in the back, a reptile-and-bird zoo run by a true Florida eccentric, the sort of guy who wraps albino pythons around his neck for fun.
The little zoo is good fun for kids, with tiny alligators and (nonvenomous) snakes you can hold, and various large birds, including a blushing blue-and-gold macaw named Patches, and a screechy cockatoo named Sassy. There's also a 22ft Burmese python and a few tortoises.
