Wild Encoutners Cafe

At Wild Encounters – A Capybara Café, the capys call the shots! Our animals are free to choose when they want to hang out, snack, nap, or stroll over for some attention. That’s what we call an “at-will” encounter—the animals decide if they’re in the mood, and we respect their choice every time.

Don’t worry, our friendly café educators are always nearby to help you meet the capys, answer questions, and even snap that perfect photo when the moment’s right. But you’ll never see us pushing an animal to do something it doesn’t want to do—because just like us, capys deserve the right to choose how they spend their day.

The result? Every interaction is real, natural, and capybara-approved—which makes the memories even more special.
How does it work, you ask? Easy-peasy, capy-squeezy!

First, imagine stepping into a Japanese-style capybara café right here in sunny Panama City Beach! You’ll start by Booking your preferred seating through our online portal. Then, check in, order your drinks and desserts, and maybe snag some super-cute capy merch (all digital, no paper—very zen, very modern .
