Nature Theater: Three Huge Screens
Unforgettable wildlife footage!
- Rare Endangered Key Deer
- Many different Florida Keys fish
- Sharks, Dolphins, Rays and Eels
You will be greeted by three HUGE screens, each showing a different aspect of our presentation. The underwater footage is absolutely breathtaking!Since March 31, 1996, A Key Encounter has brought this wonderful twenty-minute movie of God's creation in the Florida Keys to thousands upon thousands of visitors to Key West. Celebrating these years in business, the Family Wildlife Theater is now FREE to the public, and is open six days a week, Sunday through Friday!
Jungle Walk
While in the "jungle," you'll find REAL live exotic birds and animatronic creatures to add more life to the "jungle" such as a crocodile, a manatee and a bobcat. You can also view the stuffed skin of a 22.5 foot anaconda that ate a woman down in Brazil years ago!
