not sure about this one very commercial BUT good to go on the airboat but wished we had taken Cooper tours - our driver from hotel to the park drove like a maniac there and back. The ride on the airboat was only 35 minutes and no swampy ride - maybe I was expecting more. Not enough time even to... More

We got stuck in the middle of a rain storm that didn't end quickly like usual FL rains while on the drive there, thought we were going to be a complete wash out, but they put us on the airboats anyway and the tour turned out to be great, although soaking wet, and the opportunity to hold an alligator at...

It was a last minute decision to drive out from South Beach on Sunday afternoon. I showed the $3 off coupon on the website and got the ride for $20. My timing was good as the boat was loading up as I arrived. The airboat excursion was lots of fun and brought us within touching distance of lots of alligators... More

We went on the airboat ride which lasted about 30 mins. There were plenty of alligators and turtles to see. We saw several exotic birds as well. There is a live show which lasts about 15-20 mins about alligators. We paid $3 to hold snappy and 4 year old alligator and take pictures with it. There website has a coupon... More

We took this tour as part of a Carnival post cruise shore excursion. It was very well organized and did fill the space between the cruise and our flight. but in general i was unimpressed. the park seemed old and had little to offer in the way of education about the everglades and the gators. I would not recommend this... More

We took this tour as part of a Carnival post cruise shore excursion. The guide on the bus spent most of the time talking about the Miami sports teams and potholes and what he does with his friends. Not all of what he said was appropriate for the many young children on the bus. Particulary his detailed description of python... More

This is an unfair and misleading review, most of the review is based on the experience you had with the cruise line tour guide which has nothing to do with us. In the review you mentioned that you had a good time on our airboat ride which says a lot about what we deliver, but then it is contradicted by... More

I had a wonderful experience! The staff was informative and definitely helpful! It was worth visiting. I had such a good time that afternoon with my partner.

This was a nice little place. We took an airboat ride that lasted about 40 minutes. We saw lots of alligators and egrets. There is a small but lovely nature walk with alligators in the mud. It is made of wood and raised above the everglade. There is a "show" that consists of a man walking in a room with... More

Rather tired attraction! Reasonable value as price included hotel pickup. Appreciate they are doing a good job in rescuing alligators but thought the rescue enclosure looked rather depressing!
