This place is such a fun and unique experience. It offers a really hands-on, personalized visit where you get to interact with multiple animals—but the real stars are the capybaras. You get to feed them, they’ll climb up on you, and they’re incredibly friendly, each with their own little personality. It’s impossible not to smile the entire time. We booked the VIP room, which was absolutely worth it. You get your own trainer (or guide) who stays with you the whole time, plus unlimited food to feed the capybaras and plenty of one-on-one interaction with these amazing creatures. The facility is pretty clean overall, especially considering there are animals roaming around living their best lives. Bathrooms were clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and most of the space was well main

What a lovely experience! I took my toddler to the cafe as she’s been really into animals lately. We started in the room with the baby capybaras but they were more active than what my toddler could handle so we went out to the main area where it wasn’t as crowded for her. I especially appreciate the staff for working to make the experience comfortable for her, even picking up some of the animals so she can pet them. She has been telling everyone who will listen that she saw the capybaras so I would say it was a successful trip!

Special encounters were totally worth it! We did the baby capybara experience and had so much fun, they are adorable and we had a phenomenal guide! They are absolutely loveable❤️we got the lemur encounter as well which was unforgettable but too short . Sadly it was supposed to be 25 minutes but we were brought back late, got a 5 minute mini lecture on lemurs and then waited a good 5 minutes at least for him to return with the lemurs so we had about 12 minutes… when I said something he said that all those delays were factored into time…. Didn’t think that was fair since they brought us back late but the lemurs were sweet and so special. Unforgettable 🖤

An unforgettable baby capybara encounter! We had the most amazing experience at Capybara Lounge, and the baby capybara encounter truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt comfortable and understood how to interact respectfully with the animals. The baby capybaras were absolutely adorable, gentle, curious, and surprisingly calm. Being able to pet them, feed them approved treats, and simply sit with them in such a relaxed environment was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The setting was clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully arranged, allowing the animals to move freely and interact on their own terms. What really stood out was Lindsey, she made the encounter fun and educational for all age

Great little find! This place is so cute. Very clean, animals treated well. The staff go out of their way for you and the animals from what we saw. It is a little pricey for a family of 4 but can understand the cost, due to the simple fact of what it costs to care for and upkeep the animals and the facility. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely come again and bring our friends who come to visit us in Pinellas Park. Great job to everyone at Capybara!
