We absolutely LOVED this attraction. It was included as a 'freebie' with our Disney Ticket and to be honest wondered how good it would be and whether it was worth the effort (and time) driving down to it. The answer is quite simply - YES! the drive down was fantastic actually, getting to see a different more rural aspect of the state and the Turkey Vultures circling overhead. In fact just before we reached Boggy Creek an Eagle swooped into the road in front of us to catch a baby boar. Pretty incredible if a little gruesome to witness. Boggy Creek is fabulous, whilst waiting for our time slot we wandered around the grounds seeing the baby alligators, listening to the native American Indian talking about his heritage (well worth a visit as he was informative funny and engaging with all age groups!) The Airboat ride was amazing! very loud - so wear the ear protectors! Our guide Ryan definitely earned his tip.... we saw turtles a variety of Alligators including 1 which was at least 35 years old and a fair old size! my 3 kids of various age group - 6, 13 and 17 all loved this trip which I was so pleased about as it was definitely up there for me too! after the ride we grabbed some sodas and root beers and sat by the creek (whilst keeping a few eyes open for Gators!) a lovely unspoilt place.

We didn't know there was so much to.offer at Boggy Creek, thought we were in for an Air boat ride but after our ride we had an awesome Native American weapons demonstration, and posed for some really cool pictures on an Air Boat in front of a cool little cabin. We could have mined for gems but skipped that and went into the restaurant for some bbq and gator bites. What a great day!

Took our 5year old granddaughter on the one hour airboat ride and she had a blast, as did we! We also mined for fossils and “the mother load” gems. The prices for the mining were less expensive here compared to another place we have visited. We had gator bites, a hot dog, grilled cheese and brisket! My husband said that the brisket was out of this world. While waiting for our ride we played checkers, fed the alligators and mined. There was a Native American demonstration on how they lived, hunted, cooked and tools they used— we unfortunately missed the demonstration. There was a lady there who help educate our granddaughter even though we didn’t see the demonstration. Our airboat captain was wonderful and found us may different species of birds and was very knowledgeable. We saw alligators, turtles, snails, a bald eagle, herons, wild turkeys, snail kite and as I mentioned many different birds! Very educational! A Must! I will mention that I would have love to see a penny press machine!!!!😁. We did purchase items in their little store which I found reasonably priced❤️. Will definitely be back! Thank you
