Field Trip or Group tour add on:

For an additional few dollars per person we can add Pharaoh’s Wildlife Kingdom learning station. Please inquire when you book, based in availability.

Pharaoh’s Wildlife Kingdom is committed to educating students about the beauty and wonder of wildlife, with a special focus on reptiles and the importance of animal conservation. Pharaoh is experienced in traditional bare-handed alligator-capture techniques practiced by the Miccosukee and Seminole peoples.

Pharaoh is a five-time Freestyle Alligator Wrestling Champion, has appeared on national television programs such as being a featured performer on FOX’s “Game of Talents” and most recently a part of the cast of Netflix's survival hit "Outlast": The Jungle.

The Pharaoh’s Wildlife Kingdom reptile presentation may address the following Florida State Academic Standards:

 Kindergarten – SC.K.L.14.3: Observe plants and animals and describe how they are alike and different.

Grade 1 – SC.1.L.14.1: Observe living things and their environments using the five senses.

Grade 1 – SC.1.L.17.1: Recognize that animals need air, water, food, and space.

Grade 2 – SC.2.L.17.1: Compare and contrast the basic needs of living things.

Grade 2 – SC.2.L.17.2: Explain that animals live in habitats that meet their basic needs.

Grade 3 – SC.3.L.15.1: Classify animals into major groups, including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, and fish.

Grade 4 – SC.4.L.16.3: Recognize that animal behaviors may be shaped by heredity and learning.

Grade 4 – SC.4.L.17.2: Explain how animals obtain energy by eating plants or other animals.

Grade 4 – SC.4.L.17.3: Trace the flow of energy through a food chain.

Grade 4 – SC.4.L.17.4: Recognize how plants, animals, and humans affect the environment.

Grade 5 – SC.5.L.15.1: Explain how environmental changes affect animals’ survival and reproduction.

Social Studies, Grade 2 – SS.2.A.2.2: Compare the cultures and practices of Native American tribes from different regions.

These standards align with lessons about reptiles, animal characteristics and behaviors, habitats, food chains, adaptations, conservation, and traditional Native American practices. The exact standards covered will depend on the animals, topics, and demonstrations included in the presentation.

What to Wear & Prepare

• Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather.
• Closed-toe shoes, such as sneakers, are strongly recommended.
• Water and soda are available for purchase in the Gift Shop.
• Please arrange school buses or transportation well in advance.

Museum Expectations

Students must remain chaperoned at all times and are expected to treat museum staff, exhibits, and fellow visitors respectfully. Please ensure all chaperones understand their responsibilities during your visit.

We also ask that students avoid touching museum artifacts and exhibits unless specifically invited to do so.

Cancellations, Changes & Arrival Times

We understand that schedules change and unexpected situations happen. If you need to cancel your tour or believe you may be running late, please notify us as soon as possible.

Please remember that you may not be the only group scheduled that day, and our dedicated volunteer docents often travel up to an hour away to share their time and knowledge with visitors.

Groups arriving more than 20 minutes late may have their guided tour shortened or canceled. You are still welcome to explore the museum grounds; however, your visit may become self-guided depending on docent availability.

We kindly request at least one week's notice for cancellations or significant changes in attendance numbers. Groups that cancel without notice or significantly alter attendance numbers without advance communication may be billed for the full cost of the scheduled tour.

We appreciate your understanding, consideration, and cooperation and look forward to welcoming your group to the museum.
