This experience was OK.
We were staying in Miami Beach, so the ride to and from the Everglades was loooong.
The air boat ride was super cool, but was maybe about 20 minutes.
We then saw the Gator Park Alligator Show. The host thrust a scorpion into our faces, and our daughter left the show.
If I had it to do over, I'd have booked a longer, private air boat ride, and driving ourselves to the Everglades.
Wide Angle staff were lovely, and the van was clean.

We are very glad about the positive side of your experience. Thank you !
The Airboat is always about 40 minutes long. It might happen, during very busy times, like end of the year, when the park receives about 4-5 times the amount of people compared to regular times, that the airboat ride could last 30 minutes. But never 20 minutes.
The distance to the park is about 32-38 miles, and it takes around 40-45 minutes.
We cannot change the distance. We need to exit the City to enter the Everglades.
Of course if you take a private boat, you have a different experience compared to a shared boat. But it comes with a much higher price.
The scorpion is just a joke that people normally find very funny. We are very sorry if you perceived it that way.
The park would never put at risk their visitors. They use an amount of safety measures to keep everybody safe.
