About Busch Wildlife

The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary was founded in 1983 with the mission of wildlife rehabilitation by caring for sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals. This refuge and nature center for Florida wildlife is open Monday through Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and has kid-friendly trails through woods and wetlands

To complement its rehabilitation efforts, the Sanctuary took on the additional mission of educating the public about nature, wildlife, and environmental issues.

Over 100,000 children and adults visit the Sanctuary annually to participate in weekly activities such as Wildlife Encounters at their Cyprus Amphitheatre, Gator and Crocodile feeding on Mondays at 4 p.m., Storytime for Toddlers on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m., an Owl presentation on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m., and a snake presentation on Fridays at 2:00 p.m.

Today, the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary provides free comprehensive medical and rehabilitative care to over 5,000 wild animal patients each year with the ultimate goal of returning them to their natural habitats.

The Sanctuary offers visitors an entertaining opportunity to learn about Florida’s wildlife and natural environments.
