The Hurricane Has Arrived At The Central Florida Zoo

Things are getting wild —and windy—at the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens. A brand-new attraction has made landfall: The Hurricane Simulator! 

 

Guests of all ages can experience the thrilling force of a simulated tropical cyclone as powerful 78mph winds whip around you and the roaring sounds of a Category 1 hurricane.

 

“We’re always looking for new ways to blend fun with education,” said CEO Richard E. Glover, Jr. “The Hurricane Simulator delivers an unforgettable experience that also teaches our guests about the power of nature and how hurricanes impact the world around us.”

 

With wind speeds that mimic real storm conditions, the simulator brings weather science to life.

 

The Hurricane Simulator is a cashless machine, and each experience is just $4. You’ll find it located on the events deck, near Barnyard Buddies.

 

And while you’re planning your visit to the Zoo, don’t miss our limited time Pay Once, Visit Twice deal!
