A unique attraction dedicated to sloths – the world’s first ‘slotharium’ – is set to open in Orlando, Florida this year, giving visitors a chance to see these famously slow-moving animals up close.
Dream of getting up close and personal with sloths? Sloth World, a new attraction coming to Orlando in February 2026, will let you see these amazing animals in a natural setting without any barriers like glass or cages.
Sloth World isn’t located within another zoo; it’s a dedicated, stand-alone sanctuary created specifically for sloths. It will be home to over 40 sloths representing various species.
Sloth World will also have baby sloths born there, helping to educate visitors about protecting sloths and their homes around the world. A portion of the money from ticket sales will be donated to sloth rescue and habitat programs in Guyana, Costa Rica, and Peru.
Orlando is opening a sloth-only attraction with no cages or glass
Sloth World will immerse visitors in a rainforest environment mirroring the natural habitat of sloths in Central and South America. The 7,500-square-foot, open-air enclosure, according to Visit Florida, is designed entirely with the sloths’ well-being in mind, allowing guests to observe them as they go about their daily lives – moving, eating, climbing, and resting.
According to Pete Bandre, Vice President of Sloth World, the goal is to make visitors feel immersed in the sloths’ habitat, rather than imposing a human environment on them.
You’ll be able to walk directly into the sloths’ habitat – it’s an open, natural space, and a truly unique experience. Our goal is to help visitors appreciate just how amazing sloths are, understand why it’s important to protect them, and learn easy ways to support sloth conservation efforts globally.
Sloth World offers guided tours in small groups. These tours are designed to be educational and let visitors see the sloths closely, but with no touching allowed – it’s all about respecting the animals and their well-being.
Sloth World will welcome visitors starting in February 2026. Tours will be offered daily from 9 AM to 9 PM, even on holidays. Tickets cost $49 and are likely to sell out quickly, so guests should book their visits well in advance.
Rescuers were able to find an 82-year-old woman after she fell while walking in an Oregon forest on December 29, thanks to her loyal blue heeler cattle dog. This is the newest feel-good story about an animal helping its owner.
