Ralph is chillin and dreaming of taking a boat ride on the Homosassa River!

Meet Ralph 🐵 — our 41-year-old island OG. He’s banana-obsessed (who can blame him?) but stays healthy thanks to his daily serving of fruits, veggies & monkey biscuits—aka the gourmet granola bar of the primate world.

This is a great place to take family and friends. Beautiful Christmas lights, sights and sounds! We highly recommend stopping by.

One of Citrus County’s most cherished holiday traditions returns this December as Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and the Friends of Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park host the annual Celebration.

This festive event will take place on Dec. 13-15 and Dec. 19-22, featuring Sebastian Hawes’ Spectacular Synchronized Light and Sound Show along with nightly entertainment. The park will open at 5:30 p.m. on these evenings and remain open until 9 p.m.

The Celebration of Lights will feature the visual and audio talents of Sebastian Hawes through a unique synchronized light and sound extravaganza, turning the park’s Garden of the Springs into a spectacle of dancing light after dark. Glittering holiday lights, ornate decorations and festive music will set the perfect atmosphere for creating a lasting holiday family memory.
