We took a private 60 minute airboat ride and can honestly say it was worth every penny. Being that we were there mid March we knew not to expect to see alligators (still too cold) but our pilot Jimmie did a great job! We saw 3 alligators, an iguana, and so many species of birds! He was awesome and knew something about everything we saw.
I would totally do this again at a different time of year for a totally new experience.
At the food truck, do try the gator bites (really) and the animal displays were fun even for us grown up kids
