FL Capybara Café To Open Second Location

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — A new Capybara Café location is opening in St. Petersburg this July, the company wrote in a social media post.

Bookings for animal experiences at the cafe are available through the website. The first visits start on July 11.

Those visiting the cafe, located at 4703 Park Street N., will be able to cuddle up with capybaras, lemurs, wallabies, and other critters.

The first 100 people to book will receive a special gift during their encounter.

The original Capybara Café opened in St. Augustine last year.

The St. Petersburg location is “next level,” the company wrote, adding, “We’re introducing a brand-new format and a fresh mix of animals that’ll leave you speechless (and yes, there will be capybaras).”

The space will feature a Capybara Lounge with seating and roaming capybaras, “a high-energy Lemur Lounge that’s part cuddle session, part comedy show,” an After Dark experience with fennec foxes, skunks, and other nocturnal animals, and a Mini Safari with wallabies, coatis, and armadillos.

There’s also a private Capybara Lounge for those who want a more personal connection with the animals.

The café is run by Noah’s Ark Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization dedicated to animal rescue and advocacy.
