Good to Know

Before Your Airboat Adventure

Do I need a reservation for the airboat ride?
+

No — online tickets help you plan your visit, but they don't reserve a specific airboat or show time. When you arrive and check in at the front desk, our team will schedule your ride and shows based on availability.

When do airboats depart?
+

Airboats depart about every hour from 9:20 AM to 5:20 PM. Your exact ride time is assigned when you check in.

Will I get wet?
+

Absolutely! There are no dry seats on the boat, and splashes are part of the adventure. Boats can be loud, so complimentary ear protection is provided — and children under 5 wear a life vest, provided at the dock.

Can I visit the farm without taking the airboat?
+

Yes! Farm access without the airboat ride is available for purchase on-site. This option includes the animal exhibits and live alligator shows.

Can I buy tickets at the gate?
+

Yes, tickets are available at the entrance. Purchasing online in advance helps you plan your visit and explore all available experiences before arriving.
