The show's guide teaches you about how to tell if a snake is venomous or not, and how to tell the difference between crocodiles, alligators, and cayman. You will also enjoy seeing a variety of turtles, snakes, alligators, crocodiles, roosters, rabbits, groundhogs, birds, racoons, and a Florida panther. Click here to view the animals InTown's Gallery!
Upon entering Native Village, you'll be treated to handmade pottery and jewelry, caged snakes and turtles, and a dried snake skin that an adult man could easily fit inside. Browsing and shopping are encouraged. Through the building, you'll see the village itself and all the animal cages and pens. During the show, you'll hear about how and why the buildings were made the way they are, and enjoy sitting around the always-burning fire. The space can also be rented for parties small and large.Click here for their website!
