We had no children with us but took my 91 year old mother. She fully enjoyed it. Captain Ron on the cruise was very good. His assistant was very nice and most helpful. We were impressed with the park very clean. The prices for the park entry, the cruise and the food at the park were very reasonable. All the staff were very nice and eager to help.

This was well worth it. The captain was very knowledgeable and did a great job of pointing out sites and birds along the way. The boat was comfortable and even had a head (bathroom). Getting into the park is quite frustrating. They tell you to get there 2 hours ahead of time. It is because you can wait over an hour in line just to get into the park. There is only one booth to pay to get into the park. Remember to check in at the kiosk because your reservation confirmation does not get you on the boat. They give you a slip at the kiosk. Two couples had to run back to get this. The Manatees are worth the visit.
