If you get hungry, they have a food stand (burgers, hotdogs, tacos, ice cream etc). Here you’ll be able to buy some souvenirs or just a cold beverage. Afterwards, we made our way towards the gift shop near the entrance/exit. The propeller is quite large and very loud. Make sure you listen to the driver when they say wear your earmuffs. Before we got on the boat, it was made abundantly clear that you could or would get a little wet, depending on where you sat. Sheridan showed us everything from alligators next to the boat, snakes, large turtles, to different types of trees and vegetation. After that, we had our airboat ride through some of the Everglades. He welcomed any and all questions that we had. He made the entire experience fun, interactive, humorous, but also very educational. We were then able to touch and hold baby alligators. We were certainly enjoying every minute of it. He has such a great personality and some jokes too. He would then explain a little history, as well as teach the audience about alligators. He was so comfortable pulling alligators out of the water by their tails.

This is where we were introduced to Laz, one of the handlers/feeders. My family and I joined some other tourists at the large alligator pond. However, they also have some crocodiles, birds, lizards, fish, snakes etc. My family and I absolutely loved our time here. This was my second trip to the Everglades, but my first time coming here. So naturally I highly recommend The alligator farm cuz the owners are great people than not trying to rob you blind and it's just a nice place and a great time They have deep fried corn on the cob and stuff that is just So good you can't put words to it. The BBQ is so good One person reviewed it as a best barbecue they ever had in the entire nation. Obviously it's Nowhere as big as something like a Disney World where you have eight hours worth of stuff to do or more but I'd say you'll have at least four good hours and it's Really fun and informative especially the Airboat ride.įinally when you're ready to leave The Everglades Alligator farm, go about 15 minutes over to this place called 'Shivers Barbeque' in the same town. It's a really nice kind and fun place to go. I've been to other places where the animals just seemed miserable And whoever runs the place is sucking every cent out of it while overcharging whoever might show up to go there. I believe the majority of the ticket Revenues goes to keeping all the animals happ,y in good shape, and well cared for. When they do the alligator wrestling show the alligator knows what they're going to do and they even know when it's over And they know they got a little treat coming and so on and so forth Really good to see.

The different animals there seem perfectly happy and content and they're like buddies with the owners of the place. I have to say I've been to a lot of different attractions all over the nation. So unless you start wiggling around them or acting a fool, they're as tame kittens for the most part. And the they usually look for something that had already died. One thing I didn't know was gators only eat once a month. I think they should charge more For admission personally.

This place is not out to pick your pocket. The guy running the boat was a great guy and everybody working there were really nice as well. What do you want a helicopter tour of Miami? The Airboat ride was great. Somebody left a negative review about this place saying oh you only get a 20 minute Airboat ride.
