We are closed Thanksgiving and Christmas to be with our families. On December 24th, Christmas Eve we will begin airboat rides at 9 a.m. and will continue the rides every 20-30 minutes until our final ride at 2 p.m. The exhibits will also be closing at 2 p.m. We have normal hours for New Years Eve and New Years Day.
Our store opens each weekday morning at 7:30 a.m. and at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday's for selling tackle, gator souvenirs groceries, and boat rentals. The store closes at 6:00 p.m. each day.
* Note, reservations are not necessary for the everglades airboat tours unless you have a group of ten or more or are interested in the private or Red Eye tours.
The first airboat tour of the day leaves just after 9 a.m. and the tours continue to operate every thirty minutes throughout the day until 3:30 p.m.the final airboat leaves at 5:00 p.m. We recommend that you and your group show up no later than 4:00 p.m. so that you may visit the animal exhibits first and then take the final tour of the day. (The animal exhibits also close at 5:00 p.m. and we want to be sure that you can enjoy the full experience of what we have to offer.) Please note that the hours of operation are subject to change based on seasons or inclement weather.
