#1 FLORIDA EVERGLADES AIRBOAT RIDE
For $23, we got a 30 minute air boat ride (we even saw an alligator), access to the reptile and mammal enclosures which were awesome, and informational program about two of the alligators they have, and we got to hold a baby alligator! It was the best!

The airboat was fun and it was exciting to see the wildlife! We saw an alligator, snapping turtle, and snake out in the water and the alligator and turtle came right up to our boat. Our guide, Captain Disco, also took the time to educate us on the Everglades!

We enjoyed the 30 min Airboat ride but also a visit to the reptile and wildlife area at the park. Captain Disco was friendly and informative. We got to see 2 gators. A good short tour and worthwhile experience when you are in the area.
