Our guide was fantastic on our airboat tour. Really informative. Saw a few alligators - it was a great experience. A nice gift shop and a cute little exhibit area too.

We loved our experience here!!!! It was such a reasonable price compared to some other options in the area and it was so worth it! Loved the airboat ride, it was just long enough with the kids but not too long. Then the exhibits afterward were super fun and the staff were helpful and kind. Our kiddos loved holding the baby alligator! Would definitely recommend, awesome Florida experience!
