Thanks to you Jay any time I see a flamingo now I sing your flamingo song.

Excited to watch! It was an awesome day!!❤️❤️❤️

Wow, flash back commercial tootsie pop funny good times

it is a shame parts of old Florida being "ERASED FROM EXSISTANCE"...due to progress, amazing places like these show us of those times remembered.

It is refreshing to see how well two people get along.

Birds, Gators, Manatee, Bears & Flamingos oh my. Cool vlog Jay & Cris!!

Cris the Girl rocks.

It was because of you that I visited that place the next day after watching your first vlog there. I enjoyed it

We're in Spring Hill and this place (along with Three Sisters Springs in Crystal River) are where we always take visitors and house guests. We love that you can pretty much always show someone a manatee here, even if they are only in the rescue facility.

“No Ying Yang twins at the WEDDING?!!” 😂👰🏻‍♀️💍 Loved that you slipped that in there! ❤️😉

that’s an awesome park. The Homosassa and Crystal River area is one of my favorite places to visit, and it holds special memories for me and my wife too. I’m glad you and Cris had an enjoyable time and I enjoyed watching the video.

Watching this laughing out loud!!! "... okay, there is no sign for deer splattering, but there should be!" 😂😂😂😂😂 Love you both! You are such a sweet and funny couple! ....you are flora and I am fauna.... 💞😊

Thanks for the memories. I visited the Fish Bowl and rest of the park in the mid 80’s. There wasn’t much to see back then but the boat ride and seeing the manatees was great. I also swam with manatees while scuba diving in Crystal River. Very cool.

Loved this video tour. My family and I recently moved to Homosassa and we have not visited any of the parks yet. This video served as a reminder that we really need to get out and explore our new home area!! You did such a nice job showcasing the park and the beautiful nature around us!!👏🏾

Love seeing all the animals ,Tampa Jay An Kris The Girl.

Thanks 👍 for your time and explanation of our beautiful Florida ❤

I have had so many white tailed deer run right in front of me both up in the Philly area when I lived there in the 90s and here in Florida, one was so close I screamed I thought I was going to hit it.

this was cute thanks for showing!

Gattorland is also an awesome location! great video my dude

This is cool. Love the beautiful Flamiiingooos. But I say Nope to the reptile s display. Not a fan of them. Lots of great info. Thank you so much. I learn a lot from these videos. Looking fwd to see what you have in store for us. 💕

Outstanding

I love in Oklahoma now. And this video brought back memories, for I was raised in Homosassa Florida. on Yulee drive. Me and my sister went there every weekend.

I live in the TB area. This is so cool, my family definitely will be checking it out. Enjoy both you and #CrisTheGirl I love plants and flowers too. Her vlogs are so fun for me.

All the dad jokes without the kids 😁

First time I've watched your channel, but as I was working and listening, I thought it was Adam the Woo talking. :)

Nice video

Thought we'd heard of all the great spots in Florida...Very nice!

I was raised there and it was beautiful!

TJ: So no Ying Yang Twins at "our" wedding!" Cris the Girl: What? TJ: What? 😅

Love you guys

Great vlog.

I live here, their is so much to do here. It's the Nature coast. Lived a lot of places all over the US, this is by far the best....Panthers, hogs, deer, alligators, and the best sport fishing anywhere.

There are 2 Osprey pairs that summer at our Place. We see them fishing all the time. Nice to see this place again!

Great video

Worked and lived in the Homosassa Springs zoo/park back in early 1980s before it was a state park. "Lu", the hippopotamus, real name is "propeller butt". Construction was taking place around his enclosure and he swallowed a cement block. We thought he was dead for sure. No surgery. He passed it through. Staff had strict orders not to land on "Monkey island" The last staff member who tried had his arm removed by the troop. There use to be a private zoo inside the park but not open to the public where circus animals would be temporarily housed. The movie star bear, Gentle Ben, escaped once and the only way to get him back was to tempt him with an ice cream cone. We use to do 2am security checks on the deer. "Hunters" use to break in the zoo via the river and would attempt to "bag" one of our deers. We cleaned the Fish bowl windows wearing dive gear. Below the fish bowl is a collapse railroad track and the remains of First Nation artifacts that can be found in submerged caves. During that time period, it was a fight with management to move the animals from metal cages to enclosed natural habitats. We built the enclosures on our "days off" with no pay, using anything we could find in the swamp. It was the public's pleased response to the natural habitats that forced management to get on board so thank you.

Back in the day there was a 2 headed turtle in a big aquarium at the welcome center. Very cool. I though they kept its remains in a case. I will have to check next time I am there.

Thanks for this! Visited 20+ yrs ago, glad it's still there. Your shirt says Sunken Gardens.. are they still there?!!! I loved that place, been a long time. Hoped they'd survived!

I Remember Back Before It was a State Park And They Had All The Blonde Handed Spider monkeys About a Hundred Of Them In a huge Metal Cage That was Beautiful made of Twisted Steel Bars, It Was Beyond KOOL. Back Then They Had A Lot More Animals And Less Guests......Back then I Lived Local and The Park Was My Favorite Place To Visit And My Wife And I Almost Bought The Park Just Before The STATE Bought It. I Missed Out On That DEAL......

The last time we were there the boat was closed. The fish bowl was closed too. Lou will hit you from the other side where there is no sign 😳 lol. She likes snakes but not frogs 😂. I was just telling Cris on Instagram that you can swim near the manatees just outside the park near the manatee sanctuary where the boaters were located. We had a lot of fun kayaking there a few months ago and swimming near them. Great video and Park!

Alligators can climb chain link fence. Scary that the fence in your video isn't very high 😯

I love how both Cris and your videos are of the same places but we get to see so many different things as well (if that made sense) haha im just now catching up to all of your videos. You pump them videos out like nothing haha great job Jay and Cris!!

Thanks for sharing, my wife and I would definitely like to visit here. Heyy, have you guys ever been to the Sponge Docks down in Tarpon Springs? We love that place! 😊

I have been a Pasco county resident of 16 years and I would agree about your choice Florida attractions

We did a south Florida trip that you and Cris will love. Started with the classic Coral Castle. Then a great place called "Robert is here!" with an epic petting zoo. Finally we hit Everglades Outpost where you can swim with alligators! Crazy awesome place.

the florid panther is beautiful

👍👍

Great place. Same as weeki wachee and rainbow river.

There's the archeology park in Crystal River also that's very interesting.

Now you need to drive south to the weekiwachi river and rent a boat and go up the river and see all the wildlife. Manatees and otters plus all the fish. And the clear water. Pack a picnic lunch and beach yourself on one of the several beaches. Very small beaches.

Rainbow River in Dunnellon Florida is also a great place to experience old Florida. State Park plus KP HOLE kayak launch and Withlacoocee river.

Great place and definitely a good value for $13.

Living near Ocala, I might want to make a trip soon (about 1.5 hours drive from me.) Looks like a fun place.

Cool

If you ant to see a real Old Florida Roadside attraction go to Palmdale Florida and go to Gatorama. In August sometime do the Hatching Festival and you get to hatch baby gators from the egg in your hand. And the other great experience is feeding a gator out in the open on land about 4 feet from its mouth. The handlers are near you and also about 10 other gators in the water about 20 feet away. It is amazing. And staff and owners are amazing.

❤

oh, yea , is very preety , but very few people can aford to go there any more,i went there a few years back ,and i said to my wife we will be coming here every year and the next year we went and we could not go in because of the price raise, enjoy it who ever can aford it. GOD bless.

Cool place, I live a quarter mile from it..

I remember when Elvis was there in the 60's when they making fallow that dream,, he learned how to suba dive in kings bay, and stayed at the port paradise ,, it was a privately owned park back then,, I heard they don't feed the Gators anymore or have any wildlife shows,

funny thing my cousin just lives up the street from there which i was up that way earlier but last time i was at the park was middle school

Ok Jay I can't stop laughing at the kid correcting you about the "Florida" Black Bear and then just pointing out you have a ant on you. I love that you said oh thanks....UHH then cut the rest out... what happen were you attacked by ants?? Did the kid just stand there watching and did nothing??? :)

Great place I live there

I live in Citrus County. About 15 mins from the wildlife park.

U headed to any rays games in the future sir? Im headed down july 29th 30th games against the guardians

I watched the movie Birds today.

Jay your hair is getting owly! haha

Oh yeah little fun fact about foxes they can believe it or not emit smells similar to a skunk i never knew this before until one summer me & my dad & my brother went to Bays Mountain located in Kingsport Tennessee & me & my dad read a sign that had that info about foxes

Did you both bring your swim trunks?!🐊🐸🦎🐢

where do the animals come from for this park. Up in Big Bear Calfironia there is a zoo where they take in abandoned/injured animals for exhibit.

When I was there last, a big crane-like bird flew into the Florida panther cage. The panther pounced on it and killed it instantly. It was kinda horrifying.

40 seconds in // myop given the times of wanting more cash on hand and new revenue streams, I would allow Paid for Overnight Parking for Motorhomes and campers. / I'd even provide a septic option/ No showers, no toilet options.// and no Barbqs. /tail gating is for stadium locations. // with a Check out time (unless staying to see the Tourist spot) of 9am. // but not all folks want to max the cash they can off the assets they own, nor off the skills they possess. stay safe thanks for another upload of Local. // heard Tampa rays won, my Jays lost. but Jays remain in First Place that bottom of the 10th 2 run homer. or it would have been a sweep in houston.
