Busch Wildlife Sanctuary seems like a hidden gem in middle of Jupiter, Florida. At Loxahatchee River District, this sanctuary is bringing a lot of visitors especially for spring breakers! It is a refuge and nature center for Florida wildlife with kid-friendly trails throughout the woods and wetlands!

Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is not a zoo; it is a non-profit organization that runs fully on donations and helping the wildlife. Every animal in the entire sanctuary came as a rescue. “Every animal has a story. Every animal came to us because they had nowhere else to go.” said David Hitzig, director of Busch Wildlife.  Or some of the wildlife had been purchased as a pet and later realized it could not behave like a household pet would.

The sanctuary also offers group tours and VIP to those who want to get up close and personal with some of the animals and have an educated environmentalists answer questions and tell stories.

The gift shop is full of adventure too, so be sure to stop in and shop! Or “Adopt” an animal by making a donation for its care in someone’s name as a gift instead!
